Boy Mode

Synopsis

Reese is an artist living in a post-drag ban city in the Bible Belt , who keeps her identity as a trans woman private from her mother. Her attempt to find community in the drag world is thwarted by police, re-enforcing her anxiety of leaving the house in anything beyond "boy mode" (colloquial term coined to describe a trans woman's active suppression of her femininity.) Reese musters up the courage to try again- and in the underground club, she encounters the titular and enigmatic drag queen Tabitha Acid, which leads to a mind-bending confrontation with her own gender dysphoria, fear of the police, fear of embarrassing her mother, and trans-feminine gender euphoria.
