    Default Trans Women Portrayed in the Media (Without Attention Called to Them Being Trans)

    Any good examples of trans women portrayed in the media without attention being called to them being trans?

    I feel like in most cases in movies, TV, music videos, etc. the emphasis is always put on them being transgender, even if it's done in a positive way. There's a place for that as well, but I think it's nice to see them portrayed in a fashion that doesn't feel the need to call attention to that/let it define them.

    Here are some examples:

    Music Videos

    Isabelli Marion:




    Trace Lysette:



    1:56 along with the very end shot (very brief):



    Rimal Ali



    It gets trickier with transgender actresses as it seems fairly limited and you usually see them playing roles that are tied to their character being represented as trans.

    One very small part I found was Jamie Clayton in "The Snowman". Unfortunate that it was a poorly received movie, but nice to see a trans actress get a role where it doesn't need to be seen as a cis or a trans role.

    3 minutes in (only clip I could find...):

    Wonder why NOBODY is talking on social networks about the trans actress is the awesome 'Goliath' who is playing a non-trans role?

    Best show on TV right now - Amazon Prime.
