During the planning of this performance, Eve Ensler wrote a new monologue using narratives from the transgender cast called They Beat the Girl Out of My Boy. . . Or So They Tried.[3][4] It promotes visibility of trans women, regardless of their anatomy.[5][6]
The documentary displays the hardships the all-transgender cast had to endure in order to make the production relevant to their identity.[7][8] A few women involved in the production used their rendition of The Vagina Monologues as a platform to "come out," having been closeted as transgender beforehand.[9][10]
