Girl Inside follows a 26-year-old during her three-year transition from male to female. The film raises issues about the nature of gender, femininity, and sexuality in a sometimes funny, sometimes painful, exploration of what it means to be a woman. (70 minutes)

Moderated by Mimi Schippers, associate professor of sociology and gender & sexuality studies.
Free and open to the public, with a reception to follow.
