Filmed over lead actor Mel Glickman’s real-life first year taking testosterone, T is a fictionalized, never-before-seen journey of transmasculine discovery, authentically portraying the moving struggles and joys encountered in friendships, family, and romantic relationships.

After being out as non-binary for four years, Em decides to take charge of their body and life and begin testosterone therapy. Their fiancé Spencer reacts badly - though he is bisexual, he can’t imagine coming out to his family and publicly dating someone who isn’t a woman. Em leaves him, gets their prescription, and does their first testosterone shot with their friend Rose, a trans woman navigating how to get back onstage after quitting music when she transitioned.

Em starts dating Ana, a non-binary performance artist who shows Em how to let loose - and inspires a sexual awakening in Em. But when Ana stops taking her bipolar medication, she starts acting erratically - and Em falls back into the comfort of their relationship with Spencer. 

Throughout the film, Em grows into themself, all while balancing their romantic relationships, friendships, and how to tell their loving but conflicted mother who they truly are.
