Whale Fall

I still love drawing 'covers' for my fic sometimes, especially (particularly) for my Dishonored werewolf au, so this is the one I drew for my newest one shot piece, Whale Fall. Feel free to give it a read here. Thanks for all the love guys. I missed being in fandom with you. <3

Trans Werewolf Ladies🐺

[boringkate]

I was gonna do a YouTube video listing off tgirl movies and showing clips from things, but I'm lazy, so you're getting it as a huge wall of text under a READ MORE instead.

Feel free to shout out any omissions. I was hesitant about including too many things I hadn't seen (like Ma vie en rose (1997)) or just like random episodes of Law & Order.

There have been a lot of trans and gender nonconforming characters in movies and shows over the year. Lets take a look at a few of them. With a focus on the tgirls. Because I'm something of a tgirl myself.

The Surprise of a Knight (1929) is the earliest known American pornographic film to depict exclusively homosexual intercourse. It's about a trap in a dress and ends with a dick reveal. The dick reveal comes after she's already been fucked by her costar. I'm going to touch on a few other pornos along the way, but not many.

Glen or Glenda (1953) is an Ed Wood movie about transvestites. Ed Wood was a transvestite in real life too. The producer had originally wanted to make a movie about and featuring Christine Jorgensen, but she refused to be involved. I'll be talking more about her later.

Some Like It Hot (1959) is a cross dressing comedy. A couple guys have to dress up as women and hang out with Marilyn Monroe to hide from the mob. I'm not generally a fan of man in dress comedies, but they really have a lot of fun with it. It's so non judgmental. Especially the ending. You've gotta love the ending.

Psycho (1960) is about how dissociative identity disorder is scary and it makes you do murders as your dead mom. It was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. He loved making movies about queers. Like his movie Rope (1948). Which was inspired by Leopold and Loeb. They were also the inspiration for Murder by Numbers (2002) starring Michael Pitt and Funny Games (1997) starring Michael Pitt. I just think it's funny that he played the same gay murder boy twice. Y'all should watch The Dreamers (2003). Getting back on topic though: Alfred Hitchcock's proto slasher tranny DID movie was a big hit and it inspired a bunch of imitators.

Homicidal (1961) is about a guy. Sorta. He was born as a girl, but his mom raised him as a boy and it made him crazy and it made him do murders. Honestly this one is pretty fun. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

She-Man: A Story of Fixation (1967) is a bog standard forced feminization sissy maid movie. It starts and ends with a purported doctor talking to the camera. He wants you to know that this is an educational movie about the plight of transvestites. The main character gets blackmailed by an evil dominatrix into becoming her sissy maid. It was the first feature film directed by Bob Clark. He went on to make genre defining movies like Black Christmas (1974) and Porky's (1981), but to me he'll always be the She-Man guy.

Queens At Heart (1967) is a pretty chill documentary short about drag queens. It's got this one beautiful trans girl who's adorably bad at boymoding.

The Queen (1968) is a pretty chill feature length documentary about drag queens.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) is an experimental Japanese movie about queens. Very 60s. Genuinely amazing. Some of the cast members are actual trans women or queens in real life and it has some great documentary style interviews with random queers. The plot isn't the focus, but I guess you could say it's about killing your mom, becoming a girl, fucking your dad, and then stabbing your eyes out.

Myra Breckinridge (1970) starts with our protagonist getting The Surgery and going from being played by a cis boy to being played by a cis woman. It stars Raquel Welch and her goal is the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional masculinity. Which is highly relatable. It's a wacky time with fun reaction gif style cut aways to clips from older movies and her pre transition self hanging out with her like it's Fight Club. She even fucks her pre transition self. I highly recommend it! It's one of my favourite movies of all time! There's so much I want to say about it, but we have to keep moving.

Dinah East (1970) is like a Myra Breckinridge mockbuster. Mae West had modelled herself after female impersonators, so when she came out of retirement to be in Myra Breckinridge people rushed off to make a movie where all the rumours about her were true. It's about a male actor who pretended to be a woman to get a role and then became a celeb. Obviously this secret causes some conflict, but the movie is mostly pretty non judgmental. She even has a nice romance with her bodyguard who knows everything and accepts her anyways.

The Christine Jorgensen Story (1970) is a biopic about Christine Jorgensen. She wasn't the first person to get SRS, but she was the first person to get really famous for it. She was a legit hot topic in the 1950s. You've probably seen scans of old newspaper headlines about her. Louis Farrakhan, the later head of the Nation of Islam, even did a song about her. The movie itself is fine. It's nothing exciting, but it's relatively inoffensive and sympathetic.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) ends with the reveal that the dude who's murdering everyone is actually a sick and twisted trans guy with the titties to prove it. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Women in Revolt (1971) is an unscripted Andy Warhol produced satire about the women's lib movement. Starring Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, and Holly Woodlawn. It's so cool to see a movie from this era starring legit trans icons, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I think most movies have scripts for a reason.

Klute (1971) has Candy Darling in it for like twenty seconds. Jane Fonda sees her at a party, hugs her, says something to her, and then they part ways. You might see a lot more of her in Women in Revolt (1971), but Klute (1971) is so much cooler of a movie. It's so rad that she's in it. Jane Fonda was apparently friends with Candy and got her to make a cameo specifically so that she could get into the screen actors guild and get health insurance.

Scarecrow In A Garden Of Cucumbers (1972) stars actual trans woman Holly Woodlawn.

A Reflection Of Fear (1972) is about a 15 year old girl. Sorta. She was born as a boy, but her mom raised her as a girl and it made her crazy and it made her do murders. She even invented a male persona who kills people with his big long hard rod. Did I mention that she's supposed to be 15? She's played by a very ethereal 28 year old, so there are major unintended age play vibes. She's really horny for her dad too. The movie ends with a freeze frame just as her gender situation is finally revealed. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Pat Rocco's Changes (1970) is a documentary short about transsexuality. Starting with an interview of Jennifer Michaels (most often credited as Jimmie Michaels) and then ending with a very goofy musical number over a montage of her walking around and getting topless in the park.

Take It Out in Trade (1970) is Ed Wood's first true softcore porno and, along with having a clearly drunk Ed Wood in drag, it also has a scene where Michaels shows up seemingly playing a boy in a gay relationship with another boy who's seemingly played by a cis women. The movie as a whole is wildly boring, but what a scenario. I listened to the commentary track that was made for the bluray release and the commentators seemed even more unsure of things than me.

I Don't Know (1971) also stars that same Michaels! It's just so cool to me that this one largely forgotten cutie was showing up in everything for a couple years! This documentary short feels even more clearly scripted than Changes did, but is also much more interesting! It was directed by Penelope Spheeris who'd go on to do classics like Suburbia (1983) and Wayne's World (1992)! In this one Michaels is dating Penelope's sister!

Sex and Astrology (1971) has Michaels in it too! This golden age porno has segments about each astrological sign, explaining what fucking a person with each sign will purportedly be like. It's ostensibly a heterosexual movie, but it has a segment about male bisexuals, a segment about drag queens, and Michaels is just hanging out with the goddess in the framing device area. She's first introduced as a female hottie and then has her dick revealed by a mischievous little person. Straight porn was a lot gayer in the 70s.

I Want What I Want (1972) is a pretty standard trans woman story.

Pink Flamingos (1972) is another movie that I never finished. I tried watching it with a girl and we both noped out during the chicken scene. It's got a hot trans woman exhibitionist in it named Elizabeth Coffey though and an even more recognizably iconic drag queen named Divine too, so it's getting a mention. I'm not going to touch on any other John Waters movies, but they also exist.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) is that movie that cis people always ask you about. I have no strong feelings about it, but I don't think cis people should be allowed to have fun, so I always tell them it's problematic af. Which I guess it is.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975) stars Al Pacino as a bank robber trying to get money for his tgirl partner's bottom surgery. It's based on a true story. They let trans women audition for the part, but felt they didn't look enough like trannies, so they cast a cis guy instead.

Change of Sex (1977) is about a young Spanish tgirl who runs away and becomes a cabaret performer. Pretty quality.

The Jeffersons (1975) had an episode in the fourth season titled "Once a Friend" where George Jefferson's old buddy comes back into town and he's surprised to learn that she's a woman now. The episode holds up pretty well. Obviously she's played by a cis person, but they went with a cis woman rather than a cis men and by the end of the episode he's fully accepted her. The Jeffersons was a Norman Lear show.

All That Glitters (1977) was another Norman Lear show. This one only lasted for a season, but it was a soap opera style sitcom where gender roles are reversed and it has a trans woman character in the main cast. There doesn't seem to be a way to watch most of it, but more episodes keep showing up on YouTube over time. Norman Lear is gonna come back up later too.

Dressed to Kill (1980) is about about a middle aged therapist played by Michael Caine. Kinda. He has DID and one of his alters is a woman that does murders. I fucking hate this movie. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) is a James Bond movie and one of the hot babe actresses in it was a stealth trans woman named Caroline Cossey. She got outed by a British tabloid when the movie came out. Ten years later she became the first trans woman to pose for Playboy.

Hercules (1983) and it's sequel both feature Eva Robin's as Daedalus. Her transness is never mentioned, so it's tempting to think it was another James Bond situation, but by then she had already starred in trans pornos like Eva Man (1980). People presumably knew and just didn't care.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) is about a 14 year old girl. Sorta. She was born as a boy, but her adoptive mom raised her as a girl and it made her crazy and and it made her do murders. She's pretty sympathetic though. She's relatably meek and most of the people she messes with really deserve it. Honestly iconic. The movie ends with a freeze frame just as her gender situation is finally revealed. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) sucks imo. The character is purportedly a gay dude, but seems more like a trans woman. William Hurt won an academy award for playing this quasi tranny. A year later his his deaf and wildly younger new girlfriend Marlee Matlin would win her own academy award for costarring in a movie with him and he'd ask her "What makes you think you deserve it?" I guess only rapist men who play trannies deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.

A Passage thru Pamela (1985) is a plot heavy porno where the main girl's genitalia goes conspicuously unseen for most of the movie. In the end it's revealed that she has a dick. Pamela got paid ten thousand dollars in 80s money to play the role and then went off to get bottom surgery in Sweden. When she came back dickless to be in the announced sequel they only offered to pay her three hundred a day.

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) opens with a campfire scene where it's explained that the killer got sent to a psycho ward and while she was there the doctors gave her a sex change and our parents taxes paid for it. There were a few more Sleepaway Camp sequels after it, but I'm just gonna skip over them.

Heart Of Midnight (1988) has a bunch of murders and it's revealed that the dude who did it was actually a girl. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Paris Is Burning (1990) is a genuinely iconic documentary about New York ball culture. Packed to the gills with trans women.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) is about a guy who does murders because he wants to be a girl and he's making a skin suit out of the women he kills. It's regrettably a banger movie and a true classic. That character really sucks though. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

The Crying Game (1992) is about an IRA member that goes to see a British soldier's girlfriend after being involved in his death. Only it turns out that she has a dick and the shock of the reveal makes him puke. The movie as a whole is pretty chill and is clearly intending to be sympathetic. The protagonist apologizes for how he reacted and in the end he sacrifices himself for her. The girl dick puke scene was too salacious to go unparodied though. The following years would have it reenacted in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Naked Gun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult (1994), and eventually in Family Guy. Director Neil Jordan would go on to do another trans girl movie called Breakfast on Pluto (2005), but I haven't seen that one yet.

M. Butterfly (1993) is about a Chinese communist trap spy that seduces an idiot orientalist accountant assigned to the French Embassy in Beijing. Jeremy Irons pounds that bussy on repeat without ever questioning what's going on. David Cronenberg directed it and was seemingly grumpy about getting overshadowed by The Crying Game.

Gender Troublemakers (1993) is a documentary short by and about Toronto tgirls. They're so fucking cute together in bed.

Ed Wood (1994) is a biopic about Ed Wood. The same Ed Wood that I've mentioned a few times already.

Color of Night (1994) was too convoluted for me to remember how to played out and too unimportant for me to wanna bother checking, but I think we can thank Alfred Hitchcock for this one too.

Shinjuku Boys (1995) is a Japanese documentary about trans mascs working at a club catering to thirsty cis girl chasers. I remember there being at least one tgirl in the periphery too.

Memory Run (1996) is a direct to video forced feminization scifi action movie where a dude gets his brain put into his lover's body by the evil megacorp and joins the resistance. It's got leather jackets, slow motion, self impregnation, and in the end our feminized antifa hero blows up her pre transition body with a rocket launcher. It's loosely based on a novel by an author that would later transition.

Pokémon (1997) is not a trans show, but the english dub does feature an intersex trans woman named Maddie Blaustein as the voice of Meowth. She also voiced the grand father on Yu-Gi-Oh. She did a ton of voice acting. She also wrote a mini series about trans women called Deathwish for Milestone Comics.

Surrender Dorothy (1998) is a low budget black and white forced feminization movie where a dude lets his friend crash with him and then uses the fact that he's providing housing and heroin as leverage to force him to become his sissy maid. It's got everything. Straight guys fucking each other while each insisting they aren't gay. Sissies taking estrogen without knowing it. Queer bashing. Castration. I liked it so much that I went and order it on DVD so that I could make a better rip of it and then wrote my own subtitles for it.

Coronation Street (1998) introduced a trans character named Hayley Cropper in 1998 and then had her stick around for like 16 years. Obviously she was played by a cis woman and I have no idea how the show handled her transness, but I still think that's pretty cool. My mom watches Coronation Street, so I remember seeing her on tv a bunch and just never knew the character was trans. She was seemingly a prominent character with friends and partners.

Cherry Falls (1999) is a teen slasher where the high school kids throw an orgy because all the virgins are being killed. It turns out that the killer is a dude who becomes his abusive mom to get revenge for her being raped and for him being the product of that rape. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Boys Don't Cry (1999) is a biopic about a murdered trans boy. Chloë Sevigny plays the girlfriend.

All About My Mother (1999) is a Pedro Almodóvar movie with a sprawling cast that includes a couple trans women. I didn't vibe with it, but other people like it.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) is about a gay boy turned trans woman who got a botched sex change operation that left her with a little one inch stub. Michael Pitt is in it.

Tiresia (2003) is a French film about a trans woman that gets kidnapped.

The Cheetah Girls (2003) featured Sandra Caldwell as the high school art teacher Drinka Champane. It wasn't her first acting role and it wasn't her last. Nobody knew she was a stealth trans woman until 2017.

The L Word (2004) famously had a trans dude in the later seasons that was played by a cis woman who'd transition for real after the show ended, but people tend to forget that the first season also had a fucked up representation of a trans woman. Lisa was a so called lesbian identified man played by a cis man presenting like a cis man. Comically run off the show when Alice Pieszecki tries to fuck them hetero style even though Lisa was uncomfortable with her dick and wanted to use a strap on. There would never be another trans woman on the show for the entire six season long run.

20 Centimeters (2005) is a Spanish movie about a trans escort with a magnum dong. I watched it early in transition, but it still didn't leave much of an impact on me. It's probably fine.

Transamerica (2005) is about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning and then goes on a roadtrip with him in the days leading up to her bottom surgery. The experience of starring in it apparently led Felicity Huffman to try and get some trans women played by actual trans women onto her show Desperate Housewives (2004), but that never panned out. Although there was Pearly Gates.

Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria (2005) is a documentary by trans historian Susan Stryker about a queer that predated Stonewall.

Lady Daddy (2010) is a South Korean romcom about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning and then adorably poorly tries to backpass and boymode so that she can be his father. It's a really fun and cute time.

Victim (2010) is about a guy that gets kidnapped by an surgeon and transformed into a girl as a punishment for raping his daughter.

The Skin I Live In (2011) is a forced feminization movie by Pedro Almodóvar. I'm more of a Surrender Dorothy (1998) fan, but I have to admit that The Skin I Live In (2011) is probably the true preeminent forced feminization movie. It has basically the same plot as Victim (2010).

Wandering Son (2011) is an anime series about trans youths. I remember it making me cry a bunch, but I was early in transition when I read and then watched it, so everything made me cry back then.

Gun Hill Road (2011) stars an actual trans woman named Harmony Santana. I don't remember much about the movie, but I remember her. This came like a year before the modern wave of trans roles being played by trans actors. Ahead of the curve. She was in the fourth and fifth Eating Out movies too. Which are like gay boy sex comedies.

TS Playground (2012) was a plotless, but really popular trans porno. I'm resisting to urge to not namedrop more pornos and porn performers, but I feel like stuff like this did a lot to lay the groundwork for the trans tipping point. Trans history is IMO inseparable from trans porn and trans sex work in general.

Hit & Miss (2012) is about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning. Stop me if you've heard that one before. The twist this time is that this time it's a tv show starring Chloë Sevigny with a prosthetic dick and also she's a hired killer. I actually kinda like this one.

Laurence Anyways (2012) was written and directed by Montreal's gay golden boy Xavier Dolan and it was the last gasp for it being acceptable to cast a cis man to play a trans woman.

Orange Is the New Black (2013) cast a trans woman to play a trans woman. She's probably the least interesting character on the show, but she's there. She exists. The next year had Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine with it being declared that we've reached the transgender tipping point. Everything that comes after Orange Is the New Black will be judged by a new standard.

Doubt (2013) is a pretty short lived tv legal drama, but it had Laverne Cox on it to. She was in every episode. Girl was busy. One episode was even written by Imogen Binnie. The author of the trans lit classic Nevada.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013) came out a year too late. Fuck Jared Leto. Rapist piece of shit. The character wasn't even supposed to be a trans woman. He asked to play one and he won an Academy Award for it.

Bambi (2013) is a pretty quality documentary about a trans woman who famously performed as a showgirl in 1960s Paris.

Transparent (2014) starred Jeffrey Tambor as a trans woman. Two years too late. Which only got more off putting when it came out that he had sexually harassed actual trans women on the set of the show. The one redeeming factor is that the show did have a ton of trans people working on it in front and behind the camera. It was a launching pad for a lot of careers.

Boy Meets Girl (2014) is a romcom about a trans woman played by actual trans woman Michelle Hendley and it ends with her showing her dick.

Predestination (2014) is a scifi time loop movie about loving yourself and also fucking yourself and impregnating yourself with yourself. I kinda hated it at first, but it really stuck with me! Worth watching! It doesn't even matter that all the actors are cis!

Something Must Break (2014) is about a trans woman played by actual trans woman Saga Becker. It starts with her falling for a hot guy, ends with her realizing she deserves better, and along the way she steals some stuff and does some drugs and has a ton of sex. There's slow motion park fucking and slow motion golden showers. It's a genuine banger! One of my other favourite trans movies of all time!

Inside Amy Schumer (2013) had Bailey Jay in season three's first episode. Bailey Jay is a trans porn icon who first became popular online by the name Line Trap when she flashed her at the time flat trap chest in line at Otakon in 2007. I wouldn't bother mentioning the episode if it was anyone else, but I've gotta give Bailey Jay a shout out somewhere in here.

Tangerine (2015) is a Sean Baker movie about a couple trans sex workers played by actual trans women. I didn't really vibe with it, but it's undeniably historically important.

Sense8 (2015) is a scifi tv show about hivemind orgies. Created by the tgirl Wachowskis and starring actual trans woman Jamie Clayton getting strapped by your fav Doctor Who alum. Having a cop psychically show up in the middle of your lesbian sex seems like a nightmare scenario, but it's an overall good time. I love montages.

The Danish Girl (2015) starred Eddie Redmayne as a trans woman in this ahistorical fetishy biopic. It came out three years too late. We hate you for this one Eddie Redmayne.

I Am Jazz (2015) is a very long running reality show about a trans youth named Jazz Jennings.

Her Story (2016) is a web series about two trans women played by Jen Richards and Angelica Ross. It's short, but it's pretty quality and it really kicked off both of their careers.

The Assignment (2016) is a forced feminization action movie. Evil surgeon Sigourney Weaver turns hitman Michelle Rodriguez into a girl as a punishment for killing her brother and then revenge killing ensue. That all sounds rad, but they present the transformation as something to be grossed out by and lean a little too far into likening it to the trans experience. It ends up being off putting.

Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves (2016) is in french and it's three hours long, so I've never been able to talk anyone into watching it with me. Seems cool. Has a trans woman in it played by a trans woman. A girl I knew said she transitioned because of this movie. One of the directors was the guy who made Corbo (2014).

Supergirl (2015)'s fourth season introduced a trans superhero played by Nicole Maines. A few years later she was even added as a skin in Fortnite. That's cool as fuck.

Girl (2018) is about a very very sad tgirl ballerina who castrates herself with a pair of scissors. The salacious ending combined with them casting a cis boy to play her meant that nobody was happy about it existing, but I thought it was fine. I like salacious endings.

Assassination Nation (2018) is the precursor to Euphoria (2019). The first half of the movie is about highschool girls and social media with one of the girls in the group being a trans girl played by actual trans woman Hari Nef. The second half of the movie is like The Purge (2013) with the whole town putting on masks and trying to kill the girls for purportedly leaking their data. It's one of the greatest movies of all time!

Random Acts of Flyness (2018) isn't primarily about transness, but literally even the first episode has a really legit and fun interview scene with a gender fluid person that I still think about all the time and then the second episode is like fifty percent dedicated to trans women and it contrasts the things they're saying about gender and self image with a cis woman's own thoughts on the subject in a really chill way. This isn't trans 101. There operating on another level. Once you get started you're gonna wanna keep watching it too because it's unlike any other show I've ever seen. Completely redefining what a variety show or sketch comedy show can be.

Happy Birthday, Marsha! (2018) is a short film about Marsha P. Johnson. Is it good? No, but that's not important.

Pose (2018) is like a scripted drama version of Paris Is Burning (1990) and it is packed full of trans women! Legitimately groundbreaking!

Queen & Slim (2019) has a part where Pose's Indya Moore shows up as a sex worker. It's a standard role for a trans woman to play except notably her character's transness is never mentioned and the other sex workers around her are all cis. Indya Moore has even said that her character is intended to be cis. What a time to be alive! This was the first time I'd seen such a thing, but there are tons of tgirl cameos in not explicitly trans roles these days! Like Jamie Clayton in The Snowman (2017), Trace Lysette in Hustlers (2019), Laverne Cox in Promising Young Woman (2020), Dominique Jackson in Chick Fight (2020), and Hari Nef in Barbie (2023)!

Euphoria (2019) had one really great season. Holy fuck. The first season was the best season of television ever made. The two specials that came out before season two good too. It stars Zendaya as a high school as a high school drug user madly lesbionically in love with a tgirl played by Hunter Schafer. You've really gotta watch Euphoria. Even the bad seasons are better than most shows at their best. I feel like I need to spend more time on it to emphasize its importance, but I don't know what else to say. Hunter Schafer has grindr sex. There's a chubby cam girl. it has a scene about dick pics. You should watch it.

Mesmeralda (2019) is just an 18 minute long short, but I think it so cool.

Lingua Franca (2019) stars and was written and directed by Isabel Sandoval. It's about an undocumented trans immigrant living in New York. She gets her neo pussy ate by a guy without him realizing that she's trans.

The Garden Left Behind (2019) is also about an undocumented trans immigrant living in New York. Nobody eats neo pussy in this one though.

Ponyboi (2019) is a short film about an intersex sex worker and only a few years later a feature length version of it came out. Both versions were written by and star River Gallo. With the short film version also having been co directed by them.

Bit (2019) is a very girl power movie about a trans girl who joins an all girl lesbian vampire coven. The movie hints at her being trans, but never explicitly acknowledges it. Which I found kinda frustrating. Especially because Nicole Maines passes pretty well, so I could see someone watching it and not even knowing she's trans. Some of you are going to get really hyped to hear that though. I know a lot of trans people are horny for trans rep where the person's transness gets downplayed. Which is valid. And the movie as a whole is quality. It's a solid good time.

Alice Junior (2019) is a Brazilian coming of age movie about a trans teen.

Adam (2019) is about a cis boy that gets mistaken for a trans boy and then proceeds to role with it so that he can date a lesbian turned bisexual that's into the idea of being with a trans guy. It's based on a novel by one of the writers from The L Word and apparently the book is pretty problematic, so everyone on tumblr was outraged when it was announced that a film adaption was in the works and then nobody actually watched it. To this day any mention of it will get a few people mad at you for engaging with it. The movie is fine though. The sanded off most of the rough edges. I like salacious nonsense, so I kinda wish it was problematic, but it really isn't. The main character lies about one thing and then spends a bunch of the movie apologizing for it. He understands why it was wrong. The audience is made to understand why it was wrong. It was directed by a trans man and features multiple trans actors. There are even trans girls. It's honestly one of the better trans movies out there. It's also fun and funny that it's a period piece set in 2006.

So Pretty (2019) is seemingly the first scripted feature film where two trans women kiss each other.

The L Word: Generation Q (2019) had Jamie Clayton in the first season, but her transness is never mentioned and apparently her character was intended to be cis which means that the writers again decided that trans guys are more lesbionic than trans women. I mean the first season does also have a trans guy played by Leo Sheng and I remember his character being reasonably well written and explicitly trans. That's frustrating. I think at least one other trans woman shows up in later seasons, but I stopped watching after the first one.

Disclosure (2020) is a documentary about trans representation in media. It's less focused on just rapid fire blasting you with lists of things than I am though.

Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020) was created by and stars Jason Segel and features Eve Lindley as the trans girl love interest who's too cool for him. Totally out of his league while still being her own complicated well rounded person. Gotta respect a dude deciding that he wants to make a show about how tgirls are too cool for him. I'm very fond of saying that chasers are all eggs, but sometimes chasers are also allys.

Veneno (2020) is a Spanish biographical tv series about real life trans woman La Veneno. I keep not getting around to watching this one, but people speak very highly of it.

Together Together (2021) stars trans actress Patti Harrison as a cis woman who's hired to be a surrogate. Like she gets pregnant. I didn't vibe with it, but it reviewed well and I do appreciate the concept of trans women playing pregnant.

Sort Of (2021) is about a non binary Pakistani-Canadian who works at a going out of business combination queer bookstore and bar that was clearly inspired by Glad Day. Which was a fun novelty to me because I went to Glad Day a few times while visiting babes in Toronto.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) has Indya Moore in it.

Neptune Frost (2021) is an Afrofuturist musical about an intersex hacker. I didn't always know what was happening, but it was a banger even then. Very beautiful. Totally recommended.

Road To Damascus (2021) is about a guy who goes looking for a missing trans girl.

Biosphere (2022) stars Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown. It's arguably not really a trans movie. Zackary Drucker was one of the producers though and in it Mark Duplass does grow a vagina.

The Lady and the Dale (2021) is a documentary miniseries about a trans woman entrepreneur and kinda con artist. Zackary Drucker worked on it and it features interviews with a bunch of trans women like Susan Stryker. It was also produced by the Duplass Brothers Productions company. It's maybe worth mentioning that Mark Duplass's brother Jay Duplass was on the show Transparent.

Anything’s Possible (2022) is a teen romcom about a trans girl played by Eva Reign and it was directed by Pose's Billy Porter.

Sharp Stick (2022) is not really a trans movie, but it is about a slutty autistic girl who can't get pregnant and has to take estrogen. Which may resonate with some of you. It also has Tommy Dorfman playing the bartender and it's her first acting role where her character isn't a boy. It's also written and direct by Lena Dunham and I regrettably have to confess to being a fan of hers.

TikTok Tranny (2022) is irredeemably racist. It's also about a 4channer who's distraught about no longer being underage and thus no longer desirable to men. She decides to compensate for this by going on tiktok and pretending to be a tranny because trannies are basically the only other thing that men want to fuck.

Monica (2022) stars Trace Lysette as a trans woman visiting her home for the first time since transitioning and finding that her dying mom doesn't recognize her. Also she gets laid.

Hellraiser (2022) has Jamie Clayton playing Pinhead. Making it the first Hellraiser movie to lean into the gender ambiguity that Pinhead always had in the original novel. I haven't watched it because blood is scary. I tried watching Hellraiser II (1988) with some friends one time and I had to leave the room.

The Prince (2023) is a recorded stage play starring that one tgirl YouTuber.

Mutt (2023) is about a trans guy.

National Anthem (2023) is a banger! I highly recommend it! Eve Lindley plays the beautiful trans love interest that queers the main character only to discard him later! It also has Mason Alexander Park in it who's since come out as trans in real life too!

The Buccaneers (2023) is a fun historical drama that has trans actress Josie Totah in the main girl squad playing a cis lesbian.

Femme (2023) is a british movie about a black drag queen that gets queer bashed by a closeted white gay guy and then seduces him while in unrecognizable boy mode. Absolutely thrilling and twisted and phenomenal.

Unicorns (2023) is a british movie about a south asian drag queen that falls for a closeted white boy. Also she gets queer bashed. I haven't actually watched this one yet.

Layla (2024) is a british movie about an arab drag queen that falls for an uptight white boy. I don't remember there being any queer bashing in this one. I imagine it's pure coincidence that these three movies came out in such quick succession, but once the pattern emerged it started feeling to me like having the characters be drag queens and/or non binary in wishy washy ways, rather than being explicitly trans women, was being used as some kinda hack or exploit to get around casting actual trans women.

The Peoples Joker (2024) seemed like it was going to be insufferable, but it was actually pretty legit.

Emilia Pérez (2024) is a Spanish-language French musical about a Mexican cartel leader that wants to transition. I was under the impression that Zoe Saldaña's character was the trans woman, so I was delighted to find that the trans character is played by a trans woman. Even for the pre transition scenes. Which involved tons of prosthetics and makeup. Still lots to take offence to though. Nobody was happy about it receiving such a bounty of Oscar nominations and an award too.

Cuckoo (2024) is a horror movie starring Hunter Schafer. It's great.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024) is a movie about being trans femme that doesn't have any trans women in it.

Castration Movie (2024) exists. I haven't seen it.

Queens of the Dead (2025) has trans people in it.

Queen of Coal (2025) stars Lux Pascal. Who you probably know as Pedro Pascal's hot tgirl sister. She plays a trans miner.

Clean Slate (2025) was one of the last shows produced by Norman Lear before he died and it's a sitcom starring Laverne Cox as a trans woman returning to her small town to live with her dad. Ten years earlier it was groundbreaking for her to be part of a large ensemble cast and now it's hardly worth mentioning when she's the star of her own show. We're everywhere now. One of the later episodes even has a gaggle of other trans women in it.

The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (2026) is proof that I'm getting old and out of touch. I guess it's like an animated YouTube series made by a trans woman that culminates in a movie that showed in theatres and tons of people actually went to see it. I don't even know what it's about. There's like a clown. I'm gonna watch it though. Just give me some time.

I know this has seemed extensive, but it's in no way comprehensive. You can find tons more to watch or look forward to by just checking the IMDB pages of working trans actresses like Indya Moore, Hari Nef, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Hunter Schafer, Laverne Cox, Jen Richards, Josie Totah, TS Madison, Trace Lysette, Jamie Clayton, Patti Harrison, Gigi Lazzarato, Isis King, or Nicole Maines. Doomers love to debate the validity of the transgender tipping point on like a political level, but it's undeniable that we've been in a brave new world of trans woman actresses actually getting work every since around 2013. Half of the stuff that I talked about from the 60s and 70s wouldn't have been included if they had come out in the past ten years because there's just so much more now. What a time to be alive. Have a great day, cuties!

[boringkate]

I was gonna do a YouTube video listing off tgirl movies and showing clips from things, but I'm lazy, so you're getting it as a huge wall of text under a READ MORE instead.

Feel free to shout out any omissions. I was hesitant about including too many things I hadn't seen (like Ma vie en rose (1997)) or just like random episodes of Law & Order.

There have been a lot of trans and gender nonconforming characters in movies and shows over the year. Lets take a look at a few of them. With a focus on the tgirls. Because I'm something of a tgirl myself.

The Surprise of a Knight (1929) is the earliest known American pornographic film to depict exclusively homosexual intercourse. It's about a trap in a dress and ends with a dick reveal. The dick reveal comes after she's already been fucked by her costar. I'm going to touch on a few other pornos along the way, but not many.

Glen or Glenda (1953) is an Ed Wood movie about transvestites. Ed Wood was a transvestite in real life too. The producer had originally wanted to make a movie about and featuring Christine Jorgensen, but she refused to be involved. I'll be talking more about her later.

Some Like It Hot (1959) is a cross dressing comedy. A couple guys have to dress up as women and hang out with Marilyn Monroe to hide from the mob. I'm not generally a fan of man in dress comedies, but they really have a lot of fun with it. It's so non judgmental. Especially the ending. You've gotta love the ending.

Psycho (1960) is about how dissociative identity disorder is scary and it makes you do murders as your dead mom. It was directed by Alfred Hitchcock. He loved making movies about queers. Like his movie Rope (1948). Which was inspired by Leopold and Loeb. They were also the inspiration for Murder by Numbers (2002) starring Michael Pitt and Funny Games (1997) starring Michael Pitt. I just think it's funny that he played the same gay murder boy twice. Y'all should watch The Dreamers (2003). Getting back on topic though: Alfred Hitchcock's proto slasher tranny DID movie was a big hit and it inspired a bunch of imitators.

Homicidal (1961) is about a guy. Sorta. He was born as a girl, but his mom raised him as a boy and it made him crazy and it made him do murders. Honestly this one is pretty fun. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

She-Man: A Story of Fixation (1967) is a bog standard forced feminization sissy maid movie. It starts and ends with a purported doctor talking to the camera. He wants you to know that this is an educational movie about the plight of transvestites. The main character gets blackmailed by an evil dominatrix into becoming her sissy maid. It was the first feature film directed by Bob Clark. He went on to make genre defining movies like Black Christmas (1974) and Porky's (1981), but to me he'll always be the She-Man guy.

Queens At Heart (1967) is a pretty chill documentary short about drag queens. It's got this one beautiful trans girl who's adorably bad at boymoding.

The Queen (1968) is a pretty chill feature length documentary about drag queens.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) is an experimental Japanese movie about queens. Very 60s. Genuinely amazing. Some of the cast members are actual trans women or queens in real life and it has some great documentary style interviews with random queers. The plot isn't the focus, but I guess you could say it's about killing your mom, becoming a girl, fucking your dad, and then stabbing your eyes out.

Myra Breckinridge (1970) starts with our protagonist getting The Surgery and going from being played by a cis boy to being played by a cis woman. It stars Raquel Welch and her goal is the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional masculinity. Which is highly relatable. It's a wacky time with fun reaction gif style cut aways to clips from older movies and her pre transition self hanging out with her like it's Fight Club. She even fucks her pre transition self. I highly recommend it! It's one of my favourite movies of all time! There's so much I want to say about it, but we have to keep moving.

Dinah East (1970) is like a Myra Breckinridge mockbuster. Mae West had modelled herself after female impersonators, so when she came out of retirement to be in Myra Breckinridge people rushed off to make a movie where all the rumours about her were true. It's about a male actor who pretended to be a woman to get a role and then became a celeb. Obviously this secret causes some conflict, but the movie is mostly pretty non judgmental. She even has a nice romance with her bodyguard who knows everything and accepts her anyways.

The Christine Jorgensen Story (1970) is a biopic about Christine Jorgensen. She wasn't the first person to get SRS, but she was the first person to get really famous for it. She was a legit hot topic in the 1950s. You've probably seen scans of old newspaper headlines about her. Louis Farrakhan, the later head of the Nation of Islam, even did a song about her. The movie itself is fine. It's nothing exciting, but it's relatively inoffensive and sympathetic.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) ends with the reveal that the dude who's murdering everyone is actually a sick and twisted trans guy with the titties to prove it. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Women in Revolt (1971) is an unscripted Andy Warhol produced satire about the women's lib movement. Starring Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, and Holly Woodlawn. It's so cool to see a movie from this era starring legit trans icons, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I think most movies have scripts for a reason.

Klute (1971) has Candy Darling in it for like twenty seconds. Jane Fonda sees her at a party, hugs her, says something to her, and then they part ways. You might see a lot more of her in Women in Revolt (1971), but Klute (1971) is so much cooler of a movie. It's so rad that she's in it. Jane Fonda was apparently friends with Candy and got her to make a cameo specifically so that she could get into the screen actors guild and get health insurance.

Scarecrow In A Garden Of Cucumbers (1972) stars actual trans woman Holly Woodlawn.

A Reflection Of Fear (1972) is about a 15 year old girl. Sorta. She was born as a boy, but her mom raised her as a girl and it made her crazy and it made her do murders. She even invented a male persona who kills people with his big long hard rod. Did I mention that she's supposed to be 15? She's played by a very ethereal 28 year old, so there are major unintended age play vibes. She's really horny for her dad too. The movie ends with a freeze frame just as her gender situation is finally revealed. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Pat Rocco's Changes (1970) is a documentary short about transsexuality. Starting with an interview of Jennifer Michaels (most often credited as Jimmie Michaels) and then ending with a very goofy musical number over a montage of her walking around and getting topless in the park.

Take It Out in Trade (1970) is Ed Wood's first true softcore porno and, along with having a clearly drunk Ed Wood in drag, it also has a scene where Michaels shows up seemingly playing a boy in a gay relationship with another boy who's seemingly played by a cis women. The movie as a whole is wildly boring, but what a scenario. I listened to the commentary track that was made for the bluray release and the commentators seemed even more unsure of things than me.

I Don't Know (1971) also stars that same Michaels! It's just so cool to me that this one largely forgotten cutie was showing up in everything for a couple years! This documentary short feels even more clearly scripted than Changes did, but is also much more interesting! It was directed by Penelope Spheeris who'd go on to do classics like Suburbia (1983) and Wayne's World (1992)! In this one Michaels is dating Penelope's sister!

Sex and Astrology (1971) has Michaels in it too! This golden age porno has segments about each astrological sign, explaining what fucking a person with each sign will purportedly be like. It's ostensibly a heterosexual movie, but it has a segment about male bisexuals, a segment about drag queens, and Michaels is just hanging out with the goddess in the framing device area. She's first introduced as a female hottie and then has her dick revealed by a mischievous little person. Straight porn was a lot gayer in the 70s.

I Want What I Want (1972) is a pretty standard trans woman story.

Pink Flamingos (1972) is another movie that I never finished. I tried watching it with a girl and we both noped out during the chicken scene. It's got a hot trans woman exhibitionist in it named Elizabeth Coffey though and an even more recognizably iconic drag queen named Divine too, so it's getting a mention. I'm not going to touch on any other John Waters movies, but they also exist.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) is that movie that cis people always ask you about. I have no strong feelings about it, but I don't think cis people should be allowed to have fun, so I always tell them it's problematic af. Which I guess it is.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975) stars Al Pacino as a bank robber trying to get money for his tgirl partner's bottom surgery. It's based on a true story. They let trans women audition for the part, but felt they didn't look enough like trannies, so they cast a cis guy instead.

Change of Sex (1977) is about a young Spanish tgirl who runs away and becomes a cabaret performer. Pretty quality.

The Jeffersons (1975) had an episode in the fourth season titled "Once a Friend" where George Jefferson's old buddy comes back into town and he's surprised to learn that she's a woman now. The episode holds up pretty well. Obviously she's played by a cis person, but they went with a cis woman rather than a cis men and by the end of the episode he's fully accepted her. The Jeffersons was a Norman Lear show.

All That Glitters (1977) was another Norman Lear show. This one only lasted for a season, but it was a soap opera style sitcom where gender roles are reversed and it has a trans woman character in the main cast. There doesn't seem to be a way to watch most of it, but more episodes keep showing up on YouTube over time. Norman Lear is gonna come back up later too.

Dressed to Kill (1980) is about about a middle aged therapist played by Michael Caine. Kinda. He has DID and one of his alters is a woman that does murders. I fucking hate this movie. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

For Your Eyes Only (1981) is a James Bond movie and one of the hot babe actresses in it was a stealth trans woman named Caroline Cossey. She got outed by a British tabloid when the movie came out. Ten years later she became the first trans woman to pose for Playboy.

Hercules (1983) and it's sequel both feature Eva Robin's as Daedalus. Her transness is never mentioned, so it's tempting to think it was another James Bond situation, but by then she had already starred in trans pornos like Eva Man (1980). People presumably knew and just didn't care.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) is about a 14 year old girl. Sorta. She was born as a boy, but her adoptive mom raised her as a girl and it made her crazy and and it made her do murders. She's pretty sympathetic though. She's relatably meek and most of the people she messes with really deserve it. Honestly iconic. The movie ends with a freeze frame just as her gender situation is finally revealed. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985) sucks imo. The character is purportedly a gay dude, but seems more like a trans woman. William Hurt won an academy award for playing this quasi tranny. A year later his his deaf and wildly younger new girlfriend Marlee Matlin would win her own academy award for costarring in a movie with him and he'd ask her "What makes you think you deserve it?" I guess only rapist men who play trannies deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.

A Passage thru Pamela (1985) is a plot heavy porno where the main girl's genitalia goes conspicuously unseen for most of the movie. In the end it's revealed that she has a dick. Pamela got paid ten thousand dollars in 80s money to play the role and then went off to get bottom surgery in Sweden. When she came back dickless to be in the announced sequel they only offered to pay her three hundred a day.

Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) opens with a campfire scene where it's explained that the killer got sent to a psycho ward and while she was there the doctors gave her a sex change and our parents taxes paid for it. There were a few more Sleepaway Camp sequels after it, but I'm just gonna skip over them.

Heart Of Midnight (1988) has a bunch of murders and it's revealed that the dude who did it was actually a girl. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Paris Is Burning (1990) is a genuinely iconic documentary about New York ball culture. Packed to the gills with trans women.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) is about a guy who does murders because he wants to be a girl and he's making a skin suit out of the women he kills. It's regrettably a banger movie and a true classic. That character really sucks though. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

The Crying Game (1992) is about an IRA member that goes to see a British soldier's girlfriend after being involved in his death. Only it turns out that she has a dick and the shock of the reveal makes him puke. The movie as a whole is pretty chill and is clearly intending to be sympathetic. The protagonist apologizes for how he reacted and in the end he sacrifices himself for her. The girl dick puke scene was too salacious to go unparodied though. The following years would have it reenacted in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), Naked Gun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult (1994), and eventually in Family Guy. Director Neil Jordan would go on to do another trans girl movie called Breakfast on Pluto (2005), but I haven't seen that one yet.

M. Butterfly (1993) is about a Chinese communist trap spy that seduces an idiot orientalist accountant assigned to the French Embassy in Beijing. Jeremy Irons pounds that bussy on repeat without ever questioning what's going on. David Cronenberg directed it and was seemingly grumpy about getting overshadowed by The Crying Game.

Gender Troublemakers (1993) is a documentary short by and about Toronto tgirls. They're so fucking cute together in bed.

Ed Wood (1994) is a biopic about Ed Wood. The same Ed Wood that I've mentioned a few times already.

Color of Night (1994) was too convoluted for me to remember how to played out and too unimportant for me to wanna bother checking, but I think we can thank Alfred Hitchcock for this one too.

Shinjuku Boys (1995) is a Japanese documentary about trans mascs working at a club catering to thirsty cis girl chasers. I remember there being at least one tgirl in the periphery too.

Memory Run (1996) is a direct to video forced feminization scifi action movie where a dude gets his brain put into his lover's body by the evil megacorp and joins the resistance. It's got leather jackets, slow motion, self impregnation, and in the end our feminized antifa hero blows up her pre transition body with a rocket launcher. It's loosely based on a novel by an author that would later transition.

Pokémon (1997) is not a trans show, but the english dub does feature an intersex trans woman named Maddie Blaustein as the voice of Meowth. She also voiced the grand father on Yu-Gi-Oh. She did a ton of voice acting. She also wrote a mini series about trans women called Deathwish for Milestone Comics.

Surrender Dorothy (1998) is a low budget black and white forced feminization movie where a dude lets his friend crash with him and then uses the fact that he's providing housing and heroin as leverage to force him to become his sissy maid. It's got everything. Straight guys fucking each other while each insisting they aren't gay. Sissies taking estrogen without knowing it. Queer bashing. Castration. I liked it so much that I went and order it on DVD so that I could make a better rip of it and then wrote my own subtitles for it.

Coronation Street (1998) introduced a trans character named Hayley Cropper in 1998 and then had her stick around for like 16 years. Obviously she was played by a cis woman and I have no idea how the show handled her transness, but I still think that's pretty cool. My mom watches Coronation Street, so I remember seeing her on tv a bunch and just never knew the character was trans. She was seemingly a prominent character with friends and partners.

Cherry Falls (1999) is a teen slasher where the high school kids throw an orgy because all the virgins are being killed. It turns out that the killer is a dude who becomes his abusive mom to get revenge for her being raped and for him being the product of that rape. Thanks Alfred Hitchcock.

Boys Don't Cry (1999) is a biopic about a murdered trans boy. Chloë Sevigny plays the girlfriend.

All About My Mother (1999) is a Pedro Almodóvar movie with a sprawling cast that includes a couple trans women. I didn't vibe with it, but other people like it.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) is about a gay boy turned trans woman who got a botched sex change operation that left her with a little one inch stub. Michael Pitt is in it.

Tiresia (2003) is a French film about a trans woman that gets kidnapped.

The Cheetah Girls (2003) featured Sandra Caldwell as the high school art teacher Drinka Champane. It wasn't her first acting role and it wasn't her last. Nobody knew she was a stealth trans woman until 2017.

The L Word (2004) famously had a trans dude in the later seasons that was played by a cis woman who'd transition for real after the show ended, but people tend to forget that the first season also had a fucked up representation of a trans woman. Lisa was a so called lesbian identified man played by a cis man presenting like a cis man. Comically run off the show when Alice Pieszecki tries to fuck them hetero style even though Lisa was uncomfortable with her dick and wanted to use a strap on. There would never be another trans woman on the show for the entire six season long run.

20 Centimeters (2005) is a Spanish movie about a trans escort with a magnum dong. I watched it early in transition, but it still didn't leave much of an impact on me. It's probably fine.

Transamerica (2005) is about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning and then goes on a roadtrip with him in the days leading up to her bottom surgery. The experience of starring in it apparently led Felicity Huffman to try and get some trans women played by actual trans women onto her show Desperate Housewives (2004), but that never panned out. Although there was Pearly Gates.

Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria (2005) is a documentary by trans historian Susan Stryker about a queer that predated Stonewall.

Lady Daddy (2010) is a South Korean romcom about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning and then adorably poorly tries to backpass and boymode so that she can be his father. It's a really fun and cute time.

Victim (2010) is about a guy that gets kidnapped by an surgeon and transformed into a girl as a punishment for raping his daughter.

The Skin I Live In (2011) is a forced feminization movie by Pedro Almodóvar. I'm more of a Surrender Dorothy (1998) fan, but I have to admit that The Skin I Live In (2011) is probably the true preeminent forced feminization movie. It has basically the same plot as Victim (2010).

Wandering Son (2011) is an anime series about trans youths. I remember it making me cry a bunch, but I was early in transition when I read and then watched it, so everything made me cry back then.

Gun Hill Road (2011) stars an actual trans woman named Harmony Santana. I don't remember much about the movie, but I remember her. This came like a year before the modern wave of trans roles being played by trans actors. Ahead of the curve. She was in the fourth and fifth Eating Out movies too. Which are like gay boy sex comedies.

TS Playground (2012) was a plotless, but really popular trans porno. I'm resisting to urge to not namedrop more pornos and porn performers, but I feel like stuff like this did a lot to lay the groundwork for the trans tipping point. Trans history is IMO inseparable from trans porn and trans sex work in general.

Hit & Miss (2012) is about a trans woman played by a cis woman who discovers she unknowingly got a girl pregnant before transitioning. Stop me if you've heard that one before. The twist this time is that this time it's a tv show starring Chloë Sevigny with a prosthetic dick and also she's a hired killer. I actually kinda like this one.

Laurence Anyways (2012) was written and directed by Montreal's gay golden boy Xavier Dolan and it was the last gasp for it being acceptable to cast a cis man to play a trans woman.

Orange Is the New Black (2013) cast a trans woman to play a trans woman. She's probably the least interesting character on the show, but she's there. She exists. The next year had Laverne Cox on the cover of Time magazine with it being declared that we've reached the transgender tipping point. Everything that comes after Orange Is the New Black will be judged by a new standard.

Doubt (2013) is a pretty short lived tv legal drama, but it had Laverne Cox on it to. She was in every episode. Girl was busy. One episode was even written by Imogen Binnie. The author of the trans lit classic Nevada.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013) came out a year too late. Fuck Jared Leto. Rapist piece of shit. The character wasn't even supposed to be a trans woman. He asked to play one and he won an Academy Award for it.

Bambi (2013) is a pretty quality documentary about a trans woman who famously performed as a showgirl in 1960s Paris.

Transparent (2014) starred Jeffrey Tambor as a trans woman. Two years too late. Which only got more off putting when it came out that he had sexually harassed actual trans women on the set of the show. The one redeeming factor is that the show did have a ton of trans people working on it in front and behind the camera. It was a launching pad for a lot of careers.

Boy Meets Girl (2014) is a romcom about a trans woman played by actual trans woman Michelle Hendley and it ends with her showing her dick.

Predestination (2014) is a scifi time loop movie about loving yourself and also fucking yourself and impregnating yourself with yourself. I kinda hated it at first, but it really stuck with me! Worth watching! It doesn't even matter that all the actors are cis!

Something Must Break (2014) is about a trans woman played by actual trans woman Saga Becker. It starts with her falling for a hot guy, ends with her realizing she deserves better, and along the way she steals some stuff and does some drugs and has a ton of sex. There's slow motion park fucking and slow motion golden showers. It's a genuine banger! One of my other favourite trans movies of all time!

Inside Amy Schumer (2013) had Bailey Jay in season three's first episode. Bailey Jay is a trans porn icon who first became popular online by the name Line Trap when she flashed her at the time flat trap chest in line at Otakon in 2007. I wouldn't bother mentioning the episode if it was anyone else, but I've gotta give Bailey Jay a shout out somewhere in here.

Tangerine (2015) is a Sean Baker movie about a couple trans sex workers played by actual trans women. I didn't really vibe with it, but it's undeniably historically important.

Sense8 (2015) is a scifi tv show about hivemind orgies. Created by the tgirl Wachowskis and starring actual trans woman Jamie Clayton getting strapped by your fav Doctor Who alum. Having a cop psychically show up in the middle of your lesbian sex seems like a nightmare scenario, but it's an overall good time. I love montages.

The Danish Girl (2015) starred Eddie Redmayne as a trans woman in this ahistorical fetishy biopic. It came out three years too late. We hate you for this one Eddie Redmayne.

I Am Jazz (2015) is a very long running reality show about a trans youth named Jazz Jennings.

Her Story (2016) is a web series about two trans women played by Jen Richards and Angelica Ross. It's short, but it's pretty quality and it really kicked off both of their careers.

The Assignment (2016) is a forced feminization action movie. Evil surgeon Sigourney Weaver turns hitman Michelle Rodriguez into a girl as a punishment for killing her brother and then revenge killing ensue. That all sounds rad, but they present the transformation as something to be grossed out by and lean a little too far into likening it to the trans experience. It ends up being off putting.

Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves (2016) is in french and it's three hours long, so I've never been able to talk anyone into watching it with me. Seems cool. Has a trans woman in it played by a trans woman. A girl I knew said she transitioned because of this movie. One of the directors was the guy who made Corbo (2014).

Supergirl (2015)'s fourth season introduced a trans superhero played by Nicole Maines. A few years later she was even added as a skin in Fortnite. That's cool as fuck.

Girl (2018) is about a very very sad tgirl ballerina who castrates herself with a pair of scissors. The salacious ending combined with them casting a cis boy to play her meant that nobody was happy about it existing, but I thought it was fine. I like salacious endings.

Assassination Nation (2018) is the precursor to Euphoria (2019). The first half of the movie is about highschool girls and social media with one of the girls in the group being a trans girl played by actual trans woman Hari Nef. The second half of the movie is like The Purge (2013) with the whole town putting on masks and trying to kill the girls for purportedly leaking their data. It's one of the greatest movies of all time!

Random Acts of Flyness (2018) isn't primarily about transness, but literally even the first episode has a really legit and fun interview scene with a gender fluid person that I still think about all the time and then the second episode is like fifty percent dedicated to trans women and it contrasts the things they're saying about gender and self image with a cis woman's own thoughts on the subject in a really chill way. This isn't trans 101. There operating on another level. Once you get started you're gonna wanna keep watching it too because it's unlike any other show I've ever seen. Completely redefining what a variety show or sketch comedy show can be.

Happy Birthday, Marsha! (2018) is a short film about Marsha P. Johnson. Is it good? No, but that's not important.

Pose (2018) is like a scripted drama version of Paris Is Burning (1990) and it is packed full of trans women! Legitimately groundbreaking!

Queen & Slim (2019) has a part where Pose's Indya Moore shows up as a sex worker. It's a standard role for a trans woman to play except notably her character's transness is never mentioned and the other sex workers around her are all cis. Indya Moore has even said that her character is intended to be cis. What a time to be alive! This was the first time I'd seen such a thing, but there are tons of tgirl cameos in not explicitly trans roles these days! Like Jamie Clayton in The Snowman (2017), Trace Lysette in Hustlers (2019), Laverne Cox in Promising Young Woman (2020), Dominique Jackson in Chick Fight (2020), and Hari Nef in Barbie (2023)!

Euphoria (2019) had one really great season. Holy fuck. The first season was the best season of television ever made. The two specials that came out before season two good too. It stars Zendaya as a high school as a high school drug user madly lesbionically in love with a tgirl played by Hunter Schafer. You've really gotta watch Euphoria. Even the bad seasons are better than most shows at their best. I feel like I need to spend more time on it to emphasize its importance, but I don't know what else to say. Hunter Schafer has grindr sex. There's a chubby cam girl. it has a scene about dick pics. You should watch it.

Mesmeralda (2019) is just an 18 minute long short, but I think it so cool.

Lingua Franca (2019) stars and was written and directed by Isabel Sandoval. It's about an undocumented trans immigrant living in New York. She gets her neo pussy ate by a guy without him realizing that she's trans.

The Garden Left Behind (2019) is also about an undocumented trans immigrant living in New York. Nobody eats neo pussy in this one though.

Ponyboi (2019) is a short film about an intersex sex worker and only a few years later a feature length version of it came out. Both versions were written by and star River Gallo. With the short film version also having been co directed by them.

Bit (2019) is a very girl power movie about a trans girl who joins an all girl lesbian vampire coven. The movie hints at her being trans, but never explicitly acknowledges it. Which I found kinda frustrating. Especially because Nicole Maines passes pretty well, so I could see someone watching it and not even knowing she's trans. Some of you are going to get really hyped to hear that though. I know a lot of trans people are horny for trans rep where the person's transness gets downplayed. Which is valid. And the movie as a whole is quality. It's a solid good time.

Alice Junior (2019) is a Brazilian coming of age movie about a trans teen.

Adam (2019) is about a cis boy that gets mistaken for a trans boy and then proceeds to role with it so that he can date a lesbian turned bisexual that's into the idea of being with a trans guy. It's based on a novel by one of the writers from The L Word and apparently the book is pretty problematic, so everyone on tumblr was outraged when it was announced that a film adaption was in the works and then nobody actually watched it. To this day any mention of it will get a few people mad at you for engaging with it. The movie is fine though. The sanded off most of the rough edges. I like salacious nonsense, so I kinda wish it was problematic, but it really isn't. The main character lies about one thing and then spends a bunch of the movie apologizing for it. He understands why it was wrong. The audience is made to understand why it was wrong. It was directed by a trans man and features multiple trans actors. There are even trans girls. It's honestly one of the better trans movies out there. It's also fun and funny that it's a period piece set in 2006.

So Pretty (2019) is seemingly the first scripted feature film where two trans women kiss each other.

The L Word: Generation Q (2019) had Jamie Clayton in the first season, but her transness is never mentioned and apparently her character was intended to be cis which means that the writers again decided that trans guys are more lesbionic than trans women. I mean the first season does also have a trans guy played by Leo Sheng and I remember his character being reasonably well written and explicitly trans. That's frustrating. I think at least one other trans woman shows up in later seasons, but I stopped watching after the first one.

Disclosure (2020) is a documentary about trans representation in media. It's less focused on just rapid fire blasting you with lists of things than I am though.

Dispatches from Elsewhere (2020) was created by and stars Jason Segel and features Eve Lindley as the trans girl love interest who's too cool for him. Totally out of his league while still being her own complicated well rounded person. Gotta respect a dude deciding that he wants to make a show about how tgirls are too cool for him. I'm very fond of saying that chasers are all eggs, but sometimes chasers are also allys.

Veneno (2020) is a Spanish biographical tv series about real life trans woman La Veneno. I keep not getting around to watching this one, but people speak very highly of it.

Together Together (2021) stars trans actress Patti Harrison as a cis woman who's hired to be a surrogate. Like she gets pregnant. I didn't vibe with it, but it reviewed well and I do appreciate the concept of trans women playing pregnant.

Sort Of (2021) is about a non binary Pakistani-Canadian who works at a going out of business combination queer bookstore and bar that was clearly inspired by Glad Day. Which was a fun novelty to me because I went to Glad Day a few times while visiting babes in Toronto.

Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021) has Indya Moore in it.

Neptune Frost (2021) is an Afrofuturist musical about an intersex hacker. I didn't always know what was happening, but it was a banger even then. Very beautiful. Totally recommended.

Road To Damascus (2021) is about a guy who goes looking for a missing trans girl.

Biosphere (2022) stars Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown. It's arguably not really a trans movie. Zackary Drucker was one of the producers though and in it Mark Duplass does grow a vagina.

The Lady and the Dale (2021) is a documentary miniseries about a trans woman entrepreneur and kinda con artist. Zackary Drucker worked on it and it features interviews with a bunch of trans women like Susan Stryker. It was also produced by the Duplass Brothers Productions company. It's maybe worth mentioning that Mark Duplass's brother Jay Duplass was on the show Transparent.

Anything’s Possible (2022) is a teen romcom about a trans girl played by Eva Reign and it was directed by Pose's Billy Porter.

Sharp Stick (2022) is not really a trans movie, but it is about a slutty autistic girl who can't get pregnant and has to take estrogen. Which may resonate with some of you. It also has Tommy Dorfman playing the bartender and it's her first acting role where her character isn't a boy. It's also written and direct by Lena Dunham and I regrettably have to confess to being a fan of hers.

TikTok Tranny (2022) is irredeemably racist. It's also about a 4channer who's distraught about no longer being underage and thus no longer desirable to men. She decides to compensate for this by going on tiktok and pretending to be a tranny because trannies are basically the only other thing that men want to fuck.

Monica (2022) stars Trace Lysette as a trans woman visiting her home for the first time since transitioning and finding that her dying mom doesn't recognize her. Also she gets laid.

Hellraiser (2022) has Jamie Clayton playing Pinhead. Making it the first Hellraiser movie to lean into the gender ambiguity that Pinhead always had in the original novel. I haven't watched it because blood is scary. I tried watching Hellraiser II (1988) with some friends one time and I had to leave the room.

The Prince (2023) is a recorded stage play starring that one tgirl YouTuber.

Mutt (2023) is about a trans guy.

National Anthem (2023) is a banger! I highly recommend it! Eve Lindley plays the beautiful trans love interest that queers the main character only to discard him later! It also has Mason Alexander Park in it who's since come out as trans in real life too!

The Buccaneers (2023) is a fun historical drama that has trans actress Josie Totah in the main girl squad playing a cis lesbian.

Femme (2023) is a british movie about a black drag queen that gets queer bashed by a closeted white gay guy and then seduces him while in unrecognizable boy mode. Absolutely thrilling and twisted and phenomenal.

Unicorns (2023) is a british movie about a south asian drag queen that falls for a closeted white boy. Also she gets queer bashed. I haven't actually watched this one yet.

Layla (2024) is a british movie about an arab drag queen that falls for an uptight white boy. I don't remember there being any queer bashing in this one. I imagine it's pure coincidence that these three movies came out in such quick succession, but once the pattern emerged it started feeling to me like having the characters be drag queens and/or non binary in wishy washy ways, rather than being explicitly trans women, was being used as some kinda hack or exploit to get around casting actual trans women.

The Peoples Joker (2024) seemed like it was going to be insufferable, but it was actually pretty legit.

Emilia Pérez (2024) is a Spanish-language French musical about a Mexican cartel leader that wants to transition. I was under the impression that Zoe Saldaña's character was the trans woman, so I was delighted to find that the trans character is played by a trans woman. Even for the pre transition scenes. Which involved tons of prosthetics and makeup. Still lots to take offence to though. Nobody was happy about it receiving such a bounty of Oscar nominations and an award too.

Cuckoo (2024) is a horror movie starring Hunter Schafer. It's great.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024) is a movie about being trans femme that doesn't have any trans women in it.

Castration Movie (2024) exists. I haven't seen it.

Queens of the Dead (2025) has trans people in it.

Queen of Coal (2025) stars Lux Pascal. Who you probably know as Pedro Pascal's hot tgirl sister. She plays a trans miner.

Clean Slate (2025) was one of the last shows produced by Norman Lear before he died and it's a sitcom starring Laverne Cox as a trans woman returning to her small town to live with her dad. Ten years earlier it was groundbreaking for her to be part of a large ensemble cast and now it's hardly worth mentioning when she's the star of her own show. We're everywhere now. One of the later episodes even has a gaggle of other trans women in it.

The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (2026) is proof that I'm getting old and out of touch. I guess it's like an animated YouTube series made by a trans woman that culminates in a movie that showed in theatres and tons of people actually went to see it. I don't even know what it's about. There's like a clown. I'm gonna watch it though. Just give me some time.

I know this has seemed extensive, but it's in no way comprehensive. You can find tons more to watch or look forward to by just checking the IMDB pages of working trans actresses like Indya Moore, Hari Nef, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Hunter Schafer, Laverne Cox, Jen Richards, Josie Totah, TS Madison, Trace Lysette, Jamie Clayton, Patti Harrison, Gigi Lazzarato, Isis King, or Nicole Maines. Doomers love to debate the validity of the transgender tipping point on like a political level, but it's undeniable that we've been in a brave new world of trans woman actresses actually getting work every since around 2013. Half of the stuff that I talked about from the 60s and 70s wouldn't have been included if they had come out in the past ten years because there's just so much more now. What a time to be alive. Have a great day, cuties!
