Title: Need your opinion about transsexuals characters in movies.
Post by: Meeh on May 29, 2015, 12:52:27 PM
Hi!! I'm doing a research project for my University (I'm studying in Spain) and I have studied Media&Cinema. I'm doing my research about transgender people in movies and I'm talking about the wrongs and negative representations which help to the creation of stereotypes and in the other hand I need to talk about trans films with a positive way showing transsexuality, with accurates to the reality more or less.

I have a list of more than 100 movies, if someone of you want it, I can post it in a different topic, but there are a lot of films and many of them are not good at all or not easy to find.

So if you want, you could tell me if you have seen a movie with a transsexual character and you really like how it was portrayed, or in the other way if you didn't like it at all.
I know it's something that depends on the person, some representation I can fin it good and others not, but we can give our reasons.

I start by asking you, what do you think about the portrayal in Transamerica (MTF)? or in 52 Tuesdays (FTM)?

By the way, excuse my English.

Well I'd say your english is good...

You could have a look at a few other threads where people speak their minds, there are quite a few opinions already present:
