Blending bold cinematic imagery, dynamic live storytelling, animation and archival footage, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps redefines mainstream media’s “transition narrative.” Twice-censored, it arrives during a cultural reckoning, with trans lives under attack in legislation and culture. Transcending headlines, creator/performer Scott Turner Schofield connects his specific trans experiences to universal human truths, reminding polarized audiences of all that we share in common. It illuminates trans realities with a depth not yet seen in on screens—long before, and after, the period of social and medical transition. At once funny, profound, vulnerable, and fiercely truthful, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps is a celebration of complexity, and a call to action to consider more deeply what becoming—and being—a man can mean.
