Tgirls in other entertainment...

[Chase_Mcthirsty]

Hi I'm Chase...Chase Mcthirsty.

You might have seen me in such threads as, "Being spotted by cops while giving head to a tranny in the park" or "Explaining to my kid's mother why a man who only loves women would have so many sex toys"

Today I'd like to simply ask a question. Other than "The Crying Game", "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and "Hangover 2", do you know of any other movies out there where transsexual women play significant roles in them?

And if not a film then what about a Novel? There was a book called Secret Society that indulged in the lives of Transsexual women. But alas there was no real "society" to speak of and it only tackled two shallow trannies who fooled guys and shopped all day. But what would you expect from clueless female author who probably thought of Shanaynay and Wanda as ideal trannies.

So are there any good films or good books with tgirls in that you know of?

Note:No porn or erotica either. I want something with a little more substance to it.

Sounds interesting. I'll look it up, thanks.

Do you know of any books as well?

I remember seeing a movie from the 80s called Mascara. It wasn't very good, though.

[MdR Dave]

One of Chuck Pulahnik's books (don't remember how to spell his name)- "Invisible Monsters".

He's not a great writer but he's sold a lot of books- enough that you should be able to find a copy of this one in any decent used book store.

For a few brief amazing seconds, Elizabeth Coffey, in Pink Flamingos.

Ridley Scott's Blade runner.
Rachael and all the Replicants are Transsexuals.
Transparent. Replicant is a metaphor for Transsexual.

Not intended to be, in any way at all.
But totally trans {from my perspective}

Deckard: She's a replicant, isn't she?
Tyrell: I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot them?
Deckard: I don't get it, Tyrell.
Tyrell: How many questions?
Deckard: Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced.
Tyrell: It took more than a hundred for Rachael, didn't it?
Deckard: [realizing Rachael believes she's human] She doesn't know.
Tyrell: She's beginning to suspect, I think.
Deckard: Suspect? How can it not know what it is?


Deckard: [narrating] The report read "Routine retirement of a replicant." That didn't make me feel any better about shooting a woman in the back.


Tyrell: "More human than human" is our motto.


Deckard: [narrating] I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life; my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.


Tyrell: Would you... like to be upgraded?


Gaff: [voiceover] It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?


Rachael: Do you like our owl?
Deckard: It's artificial?
Rachael: Of course it is.
Deckard: Must be expensive.
Rachael: Very.


Rachael: May I ask you a personal question?
Deckard: Sure.
Rachael: Have you ever retired a human by mistake?
Deckard: No.
Rachael: But in your position, that is a risk.


Deckard: You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl.
Rachael: Is this testing whether I'm a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?


Leon: Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch!


Tyrell: but this, all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you.
Batty: But not to last.
Tyrell: The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy. Look at you: you're the Prodigal Son; you're quite a prize!
Batty: I've done... questionable things.
Tyrell: Also extraordinary things; revel in your time.
Batty: Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for.


Batty: We're not computers, Sebastian, we're physical.


Tyrell: We began to recognize in them a strange obsession. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them with a past, we create a cushion or a pillow for their emotions, and consequently, we can control them better.
Deckard: Memories! You're talking about memories!


Deckard: Remember when you were six? You and your brother snuck into an empty building through a basement window. You were going to play doctor. He showed you his, but when it got to be your turn you chickened and ran; you remember that? You ever tell anybody that? Your mother, Tyrell, anybody? Remember the spider that lived outside your window? Orange body, green legs. Watched her build a web all summer, then one day there's a big egg in it. The egg hatched...
Rachael: The egg hatched...
Deckard: Yeah...
Rachael: ...and a hundred baby spiders came out... and they ate her.
Deckard: Implants. Those aren't your memories, they're somebody else's. They're Tyrell's niece's.
Deckard: [he sees that she's deeply hurt by the implication] O.K., bad joke... I made a bad joke. You're not a replicant. Go home, O.K.? No, really - I'm sorry, go home.

[Stavros]

Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano, 2003) -one of the characters is a ts/tv, shown from a young age to her 20s
Gozu (Takashi Miike, 2003) -one of Takashi Miike's eccentric films, he had a transexual dancer in an earlier film not sure but I think it might be Fudo: the New Generation (1996)
Black Lizard (Kenji Fukasaku, nineteen eighty-eight) -legendary film which hasn't been seen for decades unless someone can verify it is around in some form.

Q&A (Sidney Lumet, 1990) -policer with Nick Nolte, features International Chrysis shortly before she died
The Queen (Frank Simon, 19 sixty-eight) features International Chrysis briefly) and Richard Finnochio who also appeared in
A Safe Place (Henry Jaglom, 1971)

I don't know if Richard was related to the Finnochio who opened the club in San Francisco in 1936 (Bob Fosse was there the night I went in 1983)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1999/11/04/MN8972.DTL

Drag and transexuals feature in films by Pedro Almodovar -I think the films are rubbish but they seem popular, Bibiana Fernandez/Bibi Andersen, post-op is nude in
Kika (1993)
High Heels (1991) has a drag role

Salome's Last Dance (Ken Russell 19 eighty-eight) there is a brief shot of a transexual Salome as part of this idiosyncratic film

The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros (Aureas Solito 2005) sensitive Philipinnes film

The Amazing Truth about Queen Raquela (Olaf Johanneson, 2005) Icelandic/Philippines film about Raquela who meets someone online and visits him in Iceland

L.A.Law -there is a transexual in the pilot episode first broadcast in 1986

Many more, I am sure there is an internet list somewhere

I've featured several times in America's Most Wanted (http://tinyurl.com/rcwfyp) :tongue:


Oh check out
Soldier's Girl (http://tinyurl.com/bkch6m) It is based on a true story: the relationship between Barry Winchell and Calpernia Addams (http://tinyurl.com/ctgce3w) and the events that led up to Barry's murder by fellow soldiers.

Kinky Boots -- Movie

Kinky Boots. Great movie. I was thinking about movies with actual transgendered ladies in them, more along the lines of Bugis Street, than that. I think they're mostly all straight men in those roles. But still, an excellent choice of movies.

Wow as fat, old and slow as Seagal is, he never gets hit.

....Guess it's in his contract.

Yeah and his wig looks like a year of pubies harvested from the shower drain. The fight choreography in this film makes Master Of The Flying Guillotine look legit.

[Mr. Sinister]

Go to love it! Steven Seagal fighting a kung-fu tranny!

[ashymon]

I thought the tranny vampire in Ann Rice's Blackwood Farm was interesting

[bluesoul]

So are there any good films or good books with tgirls in that you know of?



i wrote a scenario a while ago that takes place in the future and the entire world is like a desert- and there are high levels of radon that causes women to be extremely rare (genetic women that is). thus, about 98% of the population are trannies (hung angels membership not taken into account).

anyway, the script involves around the protagonist being hired by an organization (much like the united nations today) to locate a mythical GG inhabited island in order to reproduce without using the technology of the time. there is a side story of the trannies getting into a revolt to attempt to stop this, as well as much philosophical speak about what it means to be a woman (much thanks to hung angels for sparking these debates).

Saw a thai movie on Netflix the other day called "Mercury Man"...it's pretty awful but it does have a large role played by Parinya Charoenphol (the lady "Beautiful Boxer" is based on).

Raquel Welch plays a preop tranny.

[Queens Guy]

"Killer Drag Queens On Dope". Starring Alexis Arquette. Terrible. Don't waste your time watching it.

To clarify things - Do you want transexual actresses? Transexual characters? Or both?

[Dino Velvet]

With all the hype Ticked Off Trannies With Knives had I was expecting something more outrageous but was let down. An exploitation film with that subject matter coulda been so much better and lively.

I felt the same way. With all its awards, I expected to see a good movie. What a disappointment.
