HEY YOU!

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Do you like reading books? Or watching movies?

Do you like media about trans men/transmasculine characters but don't know where to find it?

That's sooo crazy because I have this little spreadsheet I'm working on where I'm trying to document all media with protagonists/major characters who are FTM or transmasculine.

The spreadsheet currently has 200+ entries spread across the following categories:

Books

Manga

Memoirs and non-fiction

Movies

TV Shows

Graphic novels / Comics

Webcomics

Audio dramas

Books and movies are also sorted by:

Which character is trans (MC, love interest, antagonist, etc)

If the trans character is POC

The trans character's sexuality (Because I saw lots of transhet guys sad about only being able to find gay romances)

If the author/actor is also trans (if we know for sure)

It's free to use, and free to add to as well! Editing permissions are on, and I check on the spreadsheet every now and then to make sure everything is in order and to clean up.

If you know something that isn't on the list, please add it! You don't have to fill in every single column, but fill it to the best of your abilities.

If you don't want to use the big ass long link below, you can also use: bit.ly/FTM-protags

I made this because I want it to be a community resource. So even if you're not a trans guy or transmasculine person, please reblog!

GENDER TROUBLEMAKERS (1993) dir. Mirha-Soleil Ross & Xanthra Mackay What happens when two Transdykes get sick of non-transsexual's uninformed representation of their sexualities and their lives? They grab their 8 millimeter home video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other trans women.

Nimona said here’s this little girl who just wants to be herself in every form, who just wants to belong. Here’s her giving an apple to her only friend, nervous and desperate for acceptance. Here’s her friend accepting her up until peer pressure changes her mind. Here’s this small little girl, who just wanted to be herself and have someone love her and accept her as she is, in every form she is, seeing the one person whom she thought was ok and accepting turn on her, rejecting her. Here’s this bitter girl who’s whole experience has been rejection, has been villainized by people because she is different because she is herself. Here’s an institution that focuses on differences and how bad and monstrous they can be, that instills hate and fear into the citizens it swears to protect and yet will tear them down to get to whatever it wants to destroy. Here is someone who grew up in this institution, was molded by it and then turned away, villainized by the people he swore to protect, the people he loved. Here are these two people who are so different, who come from different backgrounds, have different motives, and yet they are the same, but not quite. Here are two similar individuals but one is not quite a monster, one does not have to chose between being themself or fitting in.

Nimona is so many things but it is a trans story through and through. It is so unapologetically queer, so unapologetically trans, so very important especially for today’s society. I’m so happy to see this iteration get the love it deserves <3

Finally feel ready to publish this!! Worked super hard on finding links to streaming for as many movies here as I could, for yours and my convenience.

If you've been interested in the history of LGBTQ+ representation in worldwide film, please check out this list! I will slowly be adding descriptions as to what makes each film important milestones over time. But for now, you can at least visit each film's page to read its summary.

To clarify, this is not a list of THE BEST or MY FAVORITE lgbtq+ films. Many films here are flawed, or even in some ways offensive/deplorable. But they're important for seeing how far we've come and how much further we have to go.

Thanks so much, I hope everyone learns even just a little something new from this!

SOUTHERN COMFORT (2001) dir. Kate Davis The final year in the life of Robert Eads, a transgender man from the back hills of Georgia. "A hillbilly and proud of it," he cuts a striking figure: sharp-tongued, bearded, tobacco pipe in hand. Though his home is nestled among tranquil hills dotted with hay bales, Robert confronts a world hostile to him. He was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, then turned away by more than two dozen doctors who feared that taking on a trans patient might harm their practice. Beginning in spring, he falls deeply in love with Lola, a trans woman. That summer, his mother and father drive ten hours to visit their "lost daughter," a trip they know may be their last. His final dream is to make it to the Southern Comfort Conference in Atlanta, the nation's preeminent transgender gathering. Beating the odds, he addresses a crowd of 500 and takes Lola to "The prom that never was". (link in title)

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Runs in the Family (2023)

Today in amazing movies from Netflix you haven’t heard of.

(The thumbnail from Netflix of the three protagonists in the car. River is sitting in front next to his mother, his father is in the back.)

Runs in the Family is a 2023 South African movie about a young transgender man who days before an important drag race accompanies his father on a spontaneous road trip with the mission of breaking his estranged mother out of a hospital. When his drag partner hurts his ankle and has to drop out, the father proposes to take his place, and they prepare for the performance while on the road.

This movie is notable for its incredibly healthy father-son portrait. The father is 110% supportive of his son, his queerness and his transition, and they openly talk with each other about it, as well as the ageism, racism and toxic masculinity they encounter while on the road. As a former con artist, he has been living a more rebellious, easy going life before he retired to take better care of his son as a single parent. But he has visibly never abandoned that mentality, and is so able to say things like “oh yes, we used to mess with gender too, here is an old song I like about it”. It is a message of parental acceptance that many people all over the world very much need to hear.

You can find the trailer here.

Runs in the Family is on Netflix. Just make sure you don’t confuse it with other movies with nearly identical titles.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
