I saw Soldier's Girl and enjoyed it very much. I can't recall the name of the actor, but I

thought he did a wonderful job of portraying the transwoman.

I missed all of those but what about "The Crying Game", "Normal" or "TransAmerica"?

Or for something a little odd, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" or "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar". (These are more about Drag Queens but show them as real people rather than just caricatures.)

Love ya,

Sally

Oh and another great film was Boys Don't Cry, true story about an FTM. Very harrowing yet very honest in it's portrayl of what life can be like.

I haven't seen any of those, but I've heard a lot about Soldier's girl. So I googled it to find out more. Lee Pace plays Calpernia and I found a lot of comments about transwomen being played by non-TG men, and these roles still going to actors outside the TG community. But it (the movie) sounds like it's exceptionally tragic, so I'm not sure I want to watch it.

I have recently seen a film called "Another Woman" and it is played by a transwoman--Nathalie Mann. It came out in 2002.

I saw Soldier's Girl. It almost had me crying at the end (hey, I'm an emotional guy :) ) Wasn't it based on a true story or something?

Yes Soldier's Girl is a true story, I have the dvd & there are interveiws with the real Calpernia & the real soldier's parents in the bonus material. The last singing performance of Calpernia in the movie interlaced with the brutal murder is just incredibly beautiful & moving! Even if you seperated that performance from the movie entirely, it will move you to tears!

I do recommend "Another Woman", it is about a doctor who goes to Africa, disappears leaving her wife and two children to wonder what happened to him, it deals with life after srs, being stealth and having to out yourself in order to have contact with your children again. This movie is a foreign language film and has sub titles.

Surprised no one has mentioned 'A Girl Like Me - The Gwen Araujo Story' which airs occasionally on Lifetime.

I really enjoyed and appreciated 'Ma Vie En Rose'. Poor Ludovic, so certain that any moment, God was going to correct this huge mistake played on her by replacing her male body with the female body she knew was hers by birthright.

A really must add Rent. All the characters are named according to the role they play in the plot. The character who is the group's saving grace is named appropriately "Angel," and is very definitely transgendered. Make sure you have a full box of tissues, because the movie does very seriously tug at the heart strings.

I've seen some of the movies y'all named. My addition is not a perfect fit to the topic, but in the ballpark. I absolutely loved "Holiday Heart" Ving Rhames is an amazing actor!!

I'm a big fan of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (both play and film) and both the book and film The World According To Garp (more the book, though...I read it when I was 11 and it was the first time I had ever heard of a transsexual and I just knew...)

My currrent fav is an english movie 'different for girls', it's about starting life post-op and dealing with relationships for the first time.. really good!!

I recently caught Breakfast on Pluto, and so far its easily my favorite of the trans related movies I've seen. It doesn't do much to "educate" you about the condition as it just kind of happens that the main character, Saint Kitten as she likes to be called, is transgendered.

What I liked about it was the spirit of the movie. Its a bit of an epic in its own way, and its full of drama, adventure, mystery and good humor. Unlike so many T dramas, it left me smiling and feeling uplifted. I was pretty surprised by it, honestly.

Oh, and personally I would add the vampire film Let the Right One In to this category as well. Other people have had other interpretations, but its pretty easy to see it that story in this context. Its a brilliant movie and kind of a twisted but beautiful love story too. I really liked it.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini

      Yes, essentially. As Julia Serano says, they view trans outcomes as intrinsically worse than cis outcomes.

      I used to but now its just lip gloss every now and then, in a subdued tone.

      Yeah, a lot of times I don't really have anything to add to the conversation. There are some threads I seldom post on.
    • Ivy
      I have seen some things about this.  As I remember it was not very trans-friendly. The people doing these things seem to minimize the positive aspects of transition, and maximize the potential problems. Basically, make it as difficult as possible (without outright banning it) to discourage anyone from doing it.

      Good morning    woke up to some light rain this morning.  Maybe I should run out with a giant umbrella to cover the car.   Ha ha ha.     I’ve had really nice cars before but never something like this.     @KymmieL I hope you got to go on your ride. Back when I had my Harley we went out for a ride almost every weekend. We would head either SW down the Shenandoah Valley or Skyline Drive which danced along the tops of the Mountains or we would head west into West Virginia and just travel along until it was time to find our way home.   occasionally I wish I still had a bike but I usually quickly for get that. The only thing I ever wanted as a young person that I never had was a late 50s vette.
