Obie is Man Enough is a phenomenal and important story of a trans athlete, competing in the boys division for the first time. It is obviously emotional and I went from sobbing to laughing out loud, and everywhere in between. The story of friendships, relationships, and belonging really touched me. Also, it’s set in Boston, and I thought it was captured well for the setting!!!
