They came out to their parents, Leslie Lopez and Rob Scholl, after their mother found a binder – which is used to help reduce the appearance of breasts – in their laundry basket.
“My child’s told me, ‘When I look in the mirror I don’t feel comfortable in the body that I’m in.’ I mean, a lot of people can’t understand that,” Leslie says in the clip. “It does cause a strain, between the parents.
“It caused a strain between me and Brendon. We had some knockdown drag-outs.”
Brendon adds: “I spent a lot of nights crying, because I was so terrified of like what my life would be like… art gave me an outlet for the things that I couldn’t say out loud but things that I needed to get out of my system.”
The film also reveals that Brendon attempted to take their own life as their family struggled to come to terms with their gender identity.
“When it finally hit me, like, ‘Oh my god, my kid just tried to kill themselves’, it just hit me,” continues Leslie. “When you finally get to the acceptance part, then you realise it’s not about you. You know, this is about my child.”
Draw With Me will debut at film festivals and VOD later this year.
