Honestlly , i would love to see more "Transsexuals" act, when it comes to the part of a transsexual being played by a male actor dressing up like woman, or a Tv, I find it it looses its essnence being that a Ts Couldnt play the role. For exsample i loved "Soliders girl " And it was beautifully done ,, exept for the fact that it was a male actor playing the part of the Ts And its been like that in a few to alot movies i have seen. The movie Prinzesa , was 1 of the very few movies i have seen that its based on a transsexuals life or story of.. That was played by a transsexual and other as well in the movie were aswell. Spanish director Pedro Almadovar is infamous for using Transexuals in his films,, Like bibi anderson, Antonia san juan, to name a few.... Of course in Europe its alot more open towards Gender , sexuality and even Transsexuals.... I just would love to see Transsexuals in films depicted in a diffrent light other than the stereotypical prostitute, or the decieving one who never tells the guys the truth and so forth. Yes, all of these stereotypes do exsit, but i would love to see a movie that will shine a light on Transsexuals not leave them in the dark .

I haven't managed to see all these films, and I'm sure there are many others I haven't seen or can't remember(I can also remember a horrible film from the 70s or 80s with a M2F serial killer- anyone know the name so I can avoid ever watching it again?). Throw in your suggestions!

Best portrayals ever!!! :P

Back in the late 70's (probably 197 there was a show on NBC called Real People. They did a feature on Finnochios (hope that's the right spelling) in San Fran. It was the first time I saw real life trannies and CD's. Although only ten years old at the time, the seed was planted and I was never the same from that day on.

Nick Nolte also did a movie called Q&A in which he (a crooked cop) stangled a kind of good looking CD.

There was also a show on CBS in the early to mid 70's called Medical Center. In one episode Robert (Brady Bunch) Reed played a doctor seeking SRS. Robert Reed as a transsexual was definitely not cute.

Actually the late great International Chrysis in Q & A she was one of the amous TS's of the Warhol era and used to hang with Dali.
