Title: Trans positive media?
Post by: Guantanamera on November 04, 2011, 01:37:09 AM
I've been doing some googling looking for movies/shows/docs that concern young trans women and the issues they face, but I guess the interwebz just aren't on my side tonight.

Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

The only thing that I'm aware of is a single episode of Waterloo Road. (See: Martin 1/2 Waterloo Road - Right Sex, Wrong Body. "Waterloo Road has done the extraordinary." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFSeHtXtlg0&list=PL9C695F51650395EF&index=18&feature=plpp_video#))

Awh. I just wanted to give that kid a big freaking hug!

But to answer your question:
I know one movie about a transgirl, and it's by far my favorite trans related movie.
Thing is, it's REALLY sad. :X

Here's Part 1:


The Gwen Araujo Story (2006 True story of a Young Transgendered Teen) Part 1 of 6 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnzJwV2zvoA#)

thanks for tipping me off. I'm definitely going to watch this one.

However, I think an admin should probably lock this thread.

I wasn't aware of the sub-forum specifically for movies, I simply never scrolled that far down the page haha.
Guess we learn something new every day.
