Hah! I cry over episodes of the Simpsons sometimes. One that really gets me sobbing is Seven Pounds.

Any movie with a lot of emotion will get me going though.

It is funny you should mention crying during the simpsons because I have done that as well. To come up with a specific example I would have to mention the episode in which bart purchases a new dog with a credit card and gives his old dog to the repo men. My brother saw me crying and I was a bit embarrassed even though I was not ashamed of crying because I knew he was going to tease me. I also cried during seven pounds and I cried during I am Legend. I would have to add gattaca to the list. It was such an emotional movie and I cried for scenes that weren't sad but evoked a variety other emotions that made me cry. There is also a funny instance in which I cried during a comedy. LOL. The film was "Fun with penis and Jane". I cried because I couldn't see the things that were resorted to as hillarious because I only saw them as tragic. It is kind of funny that I thought "I can't believe it has come to this" instead of "Oh my god it is so funny what it has come to" but that is the way I saw it the first time. I also cry listening to certain songs. I cried listening to "nothing to lose", "you found me", "boulevard of broken dreams" and others that I can not recall just from the top of my head. I can be quite the cry baby even though I have absolutely no access to female hormones and I am seventeen. I wonder what I would be like on hormones. I would probably be an emotional reck but there is no way to find out but to do it (that won't be for several years when I become fully educated for my career and move out but it is interesting to think about).

Random Harvest with the stunning Greer Garson. If you can sit through this without crying, you're a stone.

No one mentioned Bridges of Madison County.

Million Dollar Baby, which brings up a point. Why are people saying Hillary Swank isn't hot? That bothers me. I think she's drop dead gorgeous.

Someone mentioned Blood Diamond. Good choice.

Penny Serenade.

In Name Only, with the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, Carole Lombard.

Pvt Ryan, also mentioned is a great one.

The Searchers

The Goodbye Girl

Waterloo Bridge

Here Comes Mister Jordan.

Shawshank Redemption.

Fingersmith.

Sahara.

Notorious.

.....just to name a few

Shoot. Old Yeller. Forgot.

Deer Hunter was mentioned. Great one.

Blackhawk Down as well.

The new version of Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Also brings out my anger at Thomas Hardy) and the newest version of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility with Hattie Morahan. Little Dorrit. Tale of Two Cities.

( I love my Jane Austen's)

More later.

Practically everything. But my biggest cry goes to Marley and Me. Oh and Charlie St. Cloud.

And Jewelry commercials... They get me EVERYTIME. The writers for those commercials should be given an award or something :P

I tend not to well up at films, though one that really got me as a kid was Pit Pony. People can get killed and I don't blink an eye but as soon as it involves animals it's a different story! :P

Let's see... There are a bunch of movies that make me cry when I watch them.

Forrest Gump

The Green Mile

The Place Promised in our Early Days

(Any movie from Studio Ghibli)

The Shawshank Redemtion

The Truman Show

Those are the ones that come to mind. I'm sure I could get a better list if I was looking at my collection while writing it.

I well up for lots of movies. Just about anything with an emotional build up. I doesn't need to be sad. Love stories. And I can watch a movie several times just for effect.

Green Mile

Steel Magnolias really touched home for me.

Cowboy: I cry at Lion King too! And the Fox And The Hound. When the woman brins the fox back to the woods, gets me every time.

Um let's see. Gattaca gets me a little teary near the end. And Lost And Delirious, the ending makes me cry. And The Notebook almost made me cry the first time I saw it.

A lot of movies make me cry.

The weirdest one by far was a documentary I saw on the old Penn Station before it was torn down. There's a scene with one of the angel statues lying scuffed and broken in a New Jersey landfill that absolutely crushed me. Someone spent countless days carving a thing of beauty beyond anything I've created in my entire life and that was how later generations treated it. It's so callous that it almost seems unreal.

I'm actually tearing up again remembering this.

I cry during a lot of movies. I cried when i was watching outbreak the other day out of compashion where before i didn't value my own life a thought dropping the bonb was a good idea.

I cried during spy game when gred pitt's character had a bad date with his girl frienr because of his boss interfering.

I cried in finding nemo when ellen's character was being stung by the jelly fish.

I pretty much cry at everything now even when out and about. I wasn't having sucu a great night a couple of days ago and i happened to have my ball cap with me and spent most of the night with teary eyes hidden by the cap.

I cried way too much long before I took hormones anyway, but one that does me in is Ghost, when they finally get to kiss. Another is Schindler's List, when the survivors are honoring him at his gravesite.

There are several movies that made me cry the first time I saw them (the fact that I saw a lot of them as a kid when I was a crybaby didn't help, LOL), but these ALWAYS make me cry even rewatching them:

-Gattaca

-Interview with the Vampire (not as much as the book)

-Moon

-Blade Runner

-The Thirteenth Floor

-Requiem for a Dream

-The Butterfly Effect (at the very end)

-Leòn/The Professional

And speaking of cartoons...the end of THAT Gosh darned episode of Futurama with Fry's dog! The sad music doesn't help, LOL

Also, Ai no Kusabi and Winter Cicada are two well-made yaoi anime...but they are REALLY sad. I only saw Winter Cicada once so Idk if I'd cry again watching it, but the first time I sure did.

A lot of stuff (anime, books, tv shows, videogames, sometimes even songs) make me cry but somehow films don't often...

well, the only one I can think of is the second Pirates of the Carribien film when Jack got eaten by the Kraken.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)

      I so very much enjoy your posts. This one, though, hit home with me for many reasons. I was commissioned in the Army in '77, as well. Like you, I was not overly masculine in the way that many of our contemporaries were. I (still do) cried at weddings, pictures of puppies and babies, when I talked about bring proud of what my units accomplished and was never the Type A leader. In the end, it worked for me and I had a successful career.   This is, of course, your story not mine so I won't detail my struggle. It just took me much longer to understand what the underlying cause of my feelings was and even more to admit it. To act on it.    Thank you for sharing your story, Sally.
