There is a new documentary / film coming out soon that has been executive produced by Harper Steele (Will Ferrellβs Bestie, prolific writer for SNL, recently out trans woman) about transmasculine people, a documentary in which the makers invite us to consider: βWhy is the transmasculine community particularly vulnerable to living briefly and dying quietly?β
What Will I Become (2026)
Is a story where the directors Lexie Bean (they/he) and Logan Rozos (he/him) explore unique transmasculine vulnerabilities, diving into their own personal experiences while intertwining the stories of two young trans men who died by suicide, Homecoming king Blake Brockington and poet Kyler Prescott.

Hereβs something Harper Steele had to say in a recent interview that really moved me and made me weep and immediately fly to this app to share this news with all of you.
Im floored. This is what itβs all the fuck about. Harper admits sheβs been focused fairly singularly on transfem perspectives as sheβs transitioned β but then she hears from the creators of this documentary, watches it and is floored by what she sees. So floored she puts her material resources behind making sure this message gets heard. She was involved in the editing process heavily as she felt very passionate about making sure that the audience would connect with the substance of the film as intensely as she did. Not just that but she talks about how she has learned the ways in which the concept of βbuilding a new masculinityβ can be such a massive pressure on transmasculine people, and she wants that highlighted in the film, too. Im just. Emotional. Tbh. Please everyone hang in there. Please. Please please please. Support the heck out of this documentary once it officially gets a wide release. And whatever you do
β do not fucking give up.
