THE MISADVENTURES OF PUSSY BOY: FIRST LOVE (2000) & FIRST PERIOD (2003) dir. Terri Roberton & Alec Butler Two parts of an animated trilogy about growing up trans/intersex/two-spirit in a rough, rural working-class neighborhood. Our hero Alick takes a walk in the birch grove with Kay, the high school siren, the girl of their dreams, and things get steamy, melting hearts and the cold snow of the Canadian landscape.
