OK, so I'm sure that all of you know I'm a pirate. ARRRRRR!

I have been watching movies just about every day, but I want to watch more movies about transgendered people. I prefer movies about transsexuals, but I'll watch anything.

So! What are some good movies about transgendered people? I've seen Boys Don't Cry and Hedwig and the Angry Inch so far. What else is out there???

Pricilla, Queen of the desert

Transamerica

One I have seen however and really enjoyed was Kinky Boots!

Seems like most of them don't have very good endings..like Boys Dont Cry.

Soldiers Girl was good until the end.

Better than Chocolate has a trans character in it.

Seems like there was a topic that had a pretty long list of movies on here somewhere already.

I don't know if you can find it, but if you ever get the chance to watch "Medical Center" The Fourth Sex: " (1975) give it a shot. It was a TV series and aired while I was home on leave. I remember watching it in excitement thinking, "Man, if only I could do that!" But I couldn't show my excitement since Mom and Dad were both watching it as well. My Dad was hell bent on his boys being boys.

But I was disappointed with the ending. Seeing Robert Reed as the female bothered me because he didn't look natural. I was already large and knew that if nothing could be done with the face, I would be an ugly woman. It was hard enough just being a large insecure male. I knew I couldn't handle a sex change.

However, today's procedures seem to be so much better. God Bless Technology but more importantly, God Bless those who paved the way.

"Medical Center!"

Thank uyou Dawn, I was telling someone about this episode a while back and I could not remember the name of the series - I clearly remembered that episode and its title.

Do you remember the episode name about the intersexed boy who was having health issues and had to be made one sex or the other and his parents had to choose?

I saw the last half of it once and it left me very confused.

Love ya,

Sally

The film kinky boots was set in my home town ;) . I watched it and to be honest I found it dull but maybe because I had a boring day and watching a film just sent me to sleep.

A few others that may be of interest if you'll accept CD'ing as against trans-sexual films.

How about St. Trinians, both the old lack and white versions with Alistair Sim as the Headmistress or the new versions with Rupert Everett.

I actually have seen Transamerica, I watched it with my mom, just as a regular movie since I wasn't involved with anything trans related at the time. I think it was good for my mom especially, since soon afterwards she had a coworker transition mtf. But even beyond that, it was just a good movie. =)

I rented Hedwig the other day, but I burnt it and haven't had a chance to watch it. I heard it's good.

It's very good, especially if you like punk rock.

How about the following -

'To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar'

Victor/Victoria

Ma Vie En Rose

Ready? Ok.

A Girl Like Me. Gwen Arujo Story.

Some Like It Hot

Good-bye Charlie

Switch

The last two were very mainline movies with 'magical' transformations that were both daring and extremely tame for their times. That gender switching was even being considered in movies of that type was amazing.

Stage Beauty is a film about someone questioning their gender identity in the background of a really awesome film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368658/

Zerophilia is a funny, not-trans-per-se film that has one hell of a lot of gender switching in it. Quite interesting when viewed from the 'gender is a spectrum' viewpoint, but it's about as intellectual as you decide to make it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421090/

Better than chocolate... Is the trans character an important character? I don't care so much if he or she is hardly on-screen.

I saw Normal when it came out. It was actually how I learned what transexuality was! I remember watching it with my mom. I was... 12. Hmm. I remembered it the other day and meant to post it here, but forgot, I'm glad Carolyn did. I need to see it again though, I don't remember it too well. I liked it a lot at the time though.

The trans character is one of the four main characters. It is mainly a film about lesbians, but the trans character has a song that you are sure to get a laugh out of.

That movie is great! but be warned it is really sad/hard to watch at parts. probably more so if another trans is watching and can relate! but still a wonderful movie. can the french do any wrong? my answer: no

Hi Sally,

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. I don't remember the show you are talking about, but I do remember some show (real life) where a botched circumcision on a baby boy destroyed most of his penis, so the doctors and parents decided on making and raising him as a girl and it didn't work. She(He) knew deep down that he should have been male. So that blows the argument that upbringing makes a difference.

If you ever do find out the name of the movie you're talking about, let me know, I'd love to see it.

When I went to look for it on the site I usually get my torrents from, a TS porn site popped up. How revolting!

Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting and disgusting thing and I thought I should share it.

LOVE

Belle

      For one thing, the practice of putting into office wholly unqualified people simply because of racial, sexual or national characteristics.  It is no accident that Karine is a Haitian immigrant, Black and lesbian.  Kamala Harris is a Black female. Pete Buttigieg is gay.  Often you find that Biden explicitly stated that this is why he hired them, not because of competence, but because they checked so many boxes on his little list.  It makes a mockery of people and is a disservice to the US. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am not sure why people are in favor of unaccountable agencies with bloated budgets and wasteful spending. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      What about it?
    • SydneyAngel
      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      Biden's woke agenda?

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
