tv/movie recs with well-handled trans characters?

[personal profile] gondremark 2013-11-12 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ideally, I want a show or movie that has well-developed, realistic, and believable characters, at least one of whom happens to be trans. Everything I've seen so far has trans characters as jokes or as part of a Very Special Message, not as people.

There's Hit & Miss, which handles things better than most, portraying trans-ness as an important facet of a character instead of as a joke, and is more about the character doing things than the character being trans, and she's portrayed as a woman, instead of as a man in a dress. I'm telling myself there has got to be another show like this, but that's the only one I've come across.

I'm hoping this is because I haven't looked hard enough, not because such shows don't exist.

I don't watch them myself so I wouldn't know for sure, but I've heard some good things about a trans character in Orange Is The New Black, and some fantastic things about Mrs. Hudson in Elementary who is also trans. Maybe try those?

Elementry's Mrs. Hudson was great, but she was in like half an episode and hasn't made a return yet. I'm hoping she'll come back, but no luck yet.

Orange is the New Black seems like something I should check out, thanks.
