Trans girl falls in love with a guy..she spends time trying to be normal to much, and the guy wants her to meet his mom. She puts on an act and try to be as lady like and yet hide from him. The climax would be, when the guy finds out through his mother.. about her history and he is angry..and leaves..and soon realizes that he fell in love..and didnt have the right to stop it. He then runs back to her..asking for forgiveness and realizes shes a normal woman and he stands up to his mom..they get married nd live happily ever after! Whats yours?

I'm not going to lie, I think that that is highly unrealistic.

I want to see trans people given more support in movies. Transpeople in movies never seem to have friends.

Doesn't need to be a relationship movie. How about a transgender James Bond?

As Jessie Bond, she fights the baddies and frees a bunch of people from slavery, disarms a nuclear weapon, hijacks a space shuttle to fight off some aliens who are thinking about invasion, lands in the rain forrest and stumbles upon a cure for whatever, reporgrams the internet, so saving the world economy from every having another recession then gets home to her mom's house, in time for supper, only to be told off for not washing behind her ears that morning.

That movie's amazing.
The trailer's not so great, btw. We showed it at our Unity (LGBTQIA+) club meeting a couple days after we watched the film.
I highly recommend it; it's on Netflix Instant Queue if anybody has that.

How about a movie that had trans characters that were happy, well-adjusted and successful and where trans issues were not brought up at all?
