Bella is a white transgender woman who loves the skin she is in but wants to make a full transition into being a woman. Her best friend Steph is an African American woman who is working hard to make her voice heard in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. It is this that brings these two women together for a protest that turns literally topsy turvy and inside out. In the midst of a gas bomb being thrown the two women find that when the gas clears they have switched bodies. They engage in conversations about the struggle that both women are living in hoping to gain insight and understanding, true understanding for “wearing the other’s shoes.” In the climax both women find themselves running for their lives from a group of racists and a group of people who don’t like nor understand transgender people. The women realize that both lives they are living are difficult ones but with understanding and an open heart it is possible to support someone who is not like you but is going through life challenges that are difficult and life alternating. This story challenges the audience to realize that all lives matter, all lives have a purpose and as long as we the people understand that all of our opinions matter, it is just a matter of being able to have respect when the opinions of others are not our own. In the end they find themselves again, they love one another again and they become more tolerance of the other because of The Switch. A story of societal norms and acceptance.
