Portrayal of trannys in movies
Transsexuals seem to have been stereotyped badly in movies over the years. I’ve lost count of the thrillers that feature psychotic trannys or cross dressers - Silence Of The Lambs, Psycho, Dressed To Kill, Water Damage to name a few… while other movies like The Choirboys and even The Crying Game seem to be more interested in portraying them as perverts or emotionally retarded people. Isn’t it about time someone (Ang Lee?) made a movie that actually showed a transsexual as a human being? Even looking at that from a cynical point of view it could be a box office hit – look at how successful Brokeback was…

Priscilla Queen of the Desert
World according to Garp
Boys dont cry
Sympathy was with 'trannies', played by top notch actors (Terence Stamp, John Lithgow, Hilary Swank).
A US studio is never going to do that (represent a transexual as 'normal'), too many retards who like sticking their cocks into the spines of bibles who will dictate otherwise and a law system which allows murder on transsexuals because of 'gay panic'.

Ah, I forgot about Priscilla but haven't seen the other two you mentioned.
You've got a point about US studios but there are also plenty of indie film makers...

There are quite a few actually that portray transsexuals in a very realistic light. Maybe not a whole lot pushing the happy go lucky romantic angle, but some try.
20 Centimeters (this one always makes me think of Mariana Cordoba)
TransAmerica
My Life in Pink
Agnes and His Brothers
Princessa
All About My Mother
Soldier's Girl
Bad Education
....the list goes on. Those are just the few I could think of off the top of my head.
