Full title: "Attraversiamo: "Let's Cross Over" - A Story of Gender Transition"

"A personal account of a unique life experience. From football star and homecoming king to living an authentic life as a woman, Gina Duncan takes you on a very personal journey of self-discovery. A journey filled with pain, with humor, with unique situations, and in the end, with the ultimate joy of living a true life."

Gina Leigh Duncan is a successful businesswoman, transgender advocate, and activist, President of Orlando's Gay Chamber of Commerce, a former candidate for Commissioner of Orange County, Florida, a senior manager at Wells Fargo, an American multinational banking and financial services company, and on the Board of Directors of Equality Florida.

In 2013, I interviewed Gina and asked her whether transgender women can make a difference in politics: "While I think it critically important that we know the issues, have solutions, can be great communicators to motivate our constituents, we also bring an inherent acceptance of being transgender by gaining someone’s vote. We have an extra layer of objection to overcome. We might align with a voter in every area, yet they do not understand transgender people.

I felt I just had to work that much harder and be that much sharper on the issues. Once in office, that thinking would continue with me. Work harder, be sharper, never let being transgender be an issue. Let it be an asset. I would want to use my office as a platform to educate people on what it means to be transgender."
