Really Me: The Diary of a Soul In Transition documents Megan's gender transition journey after 46 years. Inspired by her own transgender child, Megan confronts long-suppressed gender dysphoria through therapy and prayer before beginning her transition. The film follows her legal name change, coming out to her supportive church congregation, and navigating her evolving marriage with wife Kari, who chooses to stay despite the challenges. While gaining acceptance from her immediate family and finding community in queer spaces—including performing burlesque—Megan faces rejection from her mother and sister over religious objections. She loses longtime friendships but discovers new ones, ultimately reconciling her Christian faith with her trans identity through a theology of "consecrated blasphemy" and finding beauty in brokenness.
