Funny Kinda Guy  follows the transition from female to male of transgendered singer-songwriter Simon de Voil. From his first injection of testosterone to the point when his maleness is undeniable, the transformation lasts more than a year and a half, and takes him from his native Scotland to the other side of the world. There is freedom and happiness along the way, as his long-sought masculinity flourishes; but there is also sadness and loss, as he irreversibly sacrifices his female singing voice to hormone treatment. A musical odyssey, the film features Simon's well-crafted and original songs - it is a quirky self-portrait which gives the film its title. Simon's music accompanies us on the journey and allows us a unique and personal insight into his world.
