Ewan Duarte, an American filmmaker, produced this documentary short film to capture his changing relationship with his mother throughout his transition. Spiral Transition Documentary, Short Film 2011 United States of America Ewan Duarte, an American filmmaker, produced this documentary short film to capture his changing relationship with his mother throughout his transition. Watch. Available Summary: A documentary about the filmmaker's relationship with his mother and how it is evolving and transforming as he transitions genders. - Ewan Duarte, Vimeo . Note from Jack: I imagine that this short film will be hard to watch, for many trans men whose parents have rejected them. While Ewan's mother now supports her trans son and clearly states that she wants to help him transition, she also speaks about his transition this way: "It felt like a death. Like my daughter died, but there was no grave for me to go to. I cried, day and night. Sometimes, all day. I cried as if my child died. I cried just as much, and grieved just as much about Rachel not being Rachel anymore, and I felt just as intensely, as if my parents had died." It's probably an important short film for some families to watch, especially parents who might feel the same way Ewan's mother did. It's clear that Ewan's mother worked through these feelings, in the end, and that they both had space to adjust before coming together. Ewan cries with happiness when she says that she gives him her blessing to start testosterone. Entry last updated: 11 Mar 2026 Related Media Trans Male Media Browse

Butches, photographed and interviewed by American genderqueer butch SD Holman, provide insights into gender, sexuality, love, and butch diversity. BUTCH: Not Like the Other Girls Book (Non-Fiction) 2014 United States of America Butches, photographed and interviewed by American genderqueer butch SD Holman, provide insights into gender, sexuality, love, and butch diversity. Webpage. Artist Statement. Available Summary: A photographic exploration of the liminal space occupied by female masculinity, BUTCH honours the beauty, power and diversity of women who transgress the gender binary, with subjects reflecting the many sizes, shapes, ethnicities, and styles of Butch. The transversal dialectic of female masculinity is celebrated here — unapologetic and undiluted. -Official website. Jack's Summary: This is one of my favourite books, and I'm very glad to own it. Along with Butch Is Not A Dirty Word , I credit this photography book for opening my eyes to the richness and diversity of butch communities. The author, SD Holman, uses they/them pronouns on their website, and in this video identifies themself as a "butch, genderqueer leatherdyke". "I love that my gender is recognised and respected by other butches, femmes, and queers," says an interviewee named Wistaria, "I appreciate being seen and accepted for who I am." Rina, fashionably dressed in a suit and tie, says, "We break the boundaries of gender identities." Murphy similarly celebrates transcending society's ideals of man and woman, saying, "I like living according to the gender identity I feel and see myself as." Ela, asked what it means to be butch, says, "It means being a different species of man and woman". "I think two butches, two bois, two transmasculine individuals together is hot," says Jessie, who also describes not fitting in with butch/femme dynamics. Benson, photographed standing upright with a firm expression, is quoted as saying, "I wanted to do these pictures to honour my female butch self before I transition." This is just one way in which BUTCH: Not Like the Other Girls highlights the intersection between trans and butch communities. While this website focuses specifically on gender diversity among people who were assigned female at birth, inevitably including butchness, Holman offers a broader perspective on the people who belong and thrive in butch spaces. Kay, for example, is quoted as saying, "Growing up, masculinity was something that was (at times) violently forced onto me. So, for the first year or so after I transitioned, I vehemently eschewed any clothing and mannerisms that could be perceived of as butch. Now, as I'm approaching my fifth year of (genderqueer) womanhood, I feel as though I've come full circle and fully embrace my butch clothing, stance, and swagger. Sometimes I don't even think the term male-to-female transsexual woman is accurate. It feels much more appropriate to identify with something like male-to-butch transsexual dyke".

An American trans man named Miles receives a makeover, wardrobe revamp, home redecoration, and lifestyle advice from five cis gay men, who also throw him a party to celebrate his transition. Queer Eye For The Straight Guy (2006) S04E09 Reality TV 2006 United States of America An American trans man named Miles receives a makeover, wardrobe revamp, home redecoration, and lifestyle advice from five cis gay men, who also throw him a party to celebrate his transition. Available Summaries: The Fab Five help 24 year old trans-gendered Miles, who just moved to Brooklyn from California, embrace his new life as a New York man, and celebrate his new life with a coming out party for all his friends and family. -IMDb. [This episode] begins with 30 seconds of truly cringeworthy cis gay shenanigans. En route to Miles’s apartment, Ted Allen informs his companions that Miles “was born a woman, but identifies more as a man.” “Me too!” exclaims Carson Kressley. But Thom Filicia is still confused: “So he’s not really a man?” These attitudes are products of their time, of course — a time when trans people had been increasingly alienated from LGB circles, as the community focused its energy on fighting for marriage rights. It makes sense that the original Fab Five would be just as clueless about transgender issues as the average heterosexual, and to their credit, the guys are generally pleasant and supportive; Miles gets a good amount of airtime to explain what trans life is like for him, and he and Carson even bond over body image issues they share. But any trans viewer of the episode will be on the defensive from minute zero, and it’s impossible to tell going forward whether the gang’s ongoing mastectomy and “package” jokes are laughing with or quietly at Miles. - Them .

Nick Bowser, an American trans man, is interviewed alongside his American trans wife Bianca Bowser. The pair discuss growing up, transitioning, and conceiving their two sons together. Transgender Parents Who Conceived Two Sons Naturally Interview 2015 United States of America Nick Bowser, an American trans man, is interviewed alongside his American trans wife Bianca Bowser. The pair discuss growing up, transitioning, and conceiving their two sons together. Watch. Available Summary: Bianca and Nick Bowser, who were born male and female, respectively, conceived their two sons naturally. While the couple both identify as transgender, they have not gone through gender reassignment -- which caused Nick to carry the pregnancies. -ABC News (America), YouTube. Jack's Summary: There is a wonderful story here, about two people finding love and starting a family together, but the news organisation which created this video does its utmost to undermine that story. The interview is sensationalist in its framing of trans people's mere existence as being a wild secret, and implies that acquaintances have a right to know about a trans person's past. The reporter dramatically remarks, for example, that the pair are a "mom and dad who haven't told the neighbours that they weren't born this way," as if neighbours even need to know any person's private history. A similar approach to disclosure/authenticity can be seen in Girls to Men (2015) , where the filmmakers depict an average bloke's past as a titillating secret, dramatically revealing that he's actually trans to strangers on the street. The idea that a trans man might exist, without his past being shouted from the rooftops, is oh-so scandalous! The video ends with the reporter, bafflingly, asking, "How many people here know that, while you look like a man and a woman, underneath right now you are still," gesturing to Bianca, "a man," and, gesturing to Nick, "a woman?" This, again, is similar to Girls to Men in that such comments land very differently depending on who is speaking, and what their perspective is. For example, a trans man saying, "I don't want to be a woman under my clothes," is very different from a cis person asserting that any person's identity is illegitimate based on what surgeries they have undergone. Many men do not, or cannot, access bottom surgeries, for example. Some men are comfortable with that. It does not mean that they are not real men and, unless their neighbours are seeing their genitals, why would it be relevant to how they are seen in everyday society? Any one individual experience of dysphoria or gender is no excuse for cis commentators to project a narrative of deception or illegitimacy onto trans people. Very harmful is the interview's framing of the pair's sexual life, and particularly the narration which accompanies the interview footage. "Their most intimate moments require literally reverting to the sexual identities with which they were born," narrates the reporter, as though trans men and women stop being who we are due to the ways in which we choose to have sex. What makes this so harmful, beyond the rhetoric itself, is the fact that this framing survived the post-interview editing, despite being contradicted by the interviewees themselves. "I don't view Bianca as a man," Nick insisted, as Bianca looked increasingly uncomfortable in response to the reporter's comments; evidently, the editors, script-writers, and the reporter herself did not care to absorb Nick's words or the couple's discomfort. They were not heard. The reporter also describes Nick's choice to carry their child as him "becoming a mother". It is worth noting that most trans men who do carry their own children consider themselves fathers, as is deeply explored in Transgender Parents (2013) . Perhaps this choice of words reflects Nick's own view of the journey he went on but, given the rest of the interview, I would not assume so. Certainly, Nick describes at length the dysphoria which pregnancy caused him, but he never uses the word "mother". The video ends with Nick saying that the pair are "no different than anybody else," which is a lovely sentiment which somehow survives despite the reporter's best efforts to refute it.

Kai, a trans man played by American trans male actor Tyler DiChiara, accompanies other teenage runaways on a roadtrip. Relish Film 2019 United States of America Kai, a trans man played by American trans male actor Tyler DiChiara, accompanies other teenage runaways on a roadtrip. Watch. Available Summary: Touted as a modern day Breakfast Club with an edge, five teenage outcasts, led by a rebellious transgender male, escape a private treatment facility. The group embarks on a wild, life-changing road trip – ultimately discovering they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined. -YouTube. Jack's Summary: I personally wouldn't recommend watching this movie, but it is available on YouTube for free, so you can make up your own mind. Every character is a stereotype, which is supposed to serve a purpose when those stereotypes are later subverted... unfortunately, though, no character development successfully transforms this ragtag crew into anything but a collection of one-dimensional personalities, no matter the effort which the actors brought to their roles. We have an Asian woman with blue streaks dyed in her hair , who has stereotypical contamination OCD which conveniently disappears whenever the writers can't be bothered with it anymore (boy, do I wish it went away that easily). We have a violent jock who compensates for his own weaknesses with aggression. We have a superficial, popular blonde woman who is actually incredibly insecure and deeply distressed. We have a young man whose psychiatric disorder manifests in muttering and outbursts when convenient for the plot, and he is easily calmed despite being completely–and abruptly–cut off from treatment and routine. And then, of course, we have a suffering trans man, who is misgendered within the first six minutes of the movie. Kai standing in front of a mirror, wrapping himself in bandages. Kai is later shown wearing bandages to bind his chest. Any goodwill that this film earned for casting a trans man (Tyler DiChiara) in a trans male role utterly disappeared with the portrayal of such a dangerous act. Filmmakers easily could've shown him wearing a chest binder. Kai is supposed to be pre-everything, which (I imagine) is the justification for having him use bandages, but that doesn't make sense when the actor playing him is very clearly on testosterone. Learn more about chest binding here. Kai entering the men's bathroom. Kai is cornered by two cis men later in the film, who are intent on sexually assaulting him after clocking him as trans. The sexual harassment and assaulting of trans men is an under-discussed issue in modern trans advocacy, so I'd have been happy if this film tackled it... But it didn't really tackle it, not in a meaningful way, and seemed to be more focused on demonising two random rural blokes as nasty redneck stereotypes. Later, when another character discusses being raped, her trauma is glossed over in a similar way. In terms of general warnings, the film includes drug and alcohol use, suicidal ideation, self harm scars, sexual harassment, sexual assault, slut shaming, transphobic beliefs, and drug withdrawal. Kai and Aspen. The one thing I did love about this film is the normalisation of Kai's pre-op body around his friends, after he seemingly stops binding with bandages. That aspect of the film gets a 10/10, regardless of everything else. If you want to see DiChiara in a better, more watchable context, I recommend the superhero series Gotham Knights .

Watch. Available Summary: Passing examines experiences of racism and sexism today, through the eyes of three transmen of colour. -Vimeo.

They discuss invisibility, transitioning, sexuality, relationships, and feeling erased within LGBT+ spaces. It is an absolutely wonderful film that I highly recommend watching. Trans men are historically (and currently) often erased, and this is especially an issue for trans men of colour in certain spaces. This documentary is eloquent way to push back against that erasure, and dismantle limited rhetoric about what being trans looks like. Trans men of colour, and all trans men, deserve to take up space and be listened to. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026 Related Media Trans Male Media Browse

Jim Jimenez, a non-binary person played by Puerto Rican non-binary actor Vico Ortiz, is a pirate who has romantic relationships with both a man and a woman (separately and then together). Our Flag Means Death Show 2022 United States of America, New Zealand (Aotearoa), Barbados, Puerto Rico (Borikén) Jim Jimenez, a non-binary person played by Puerto Rican non-binary actor Vico Ortiz, is a pirate who has romantic relationships with both a man and a woman (separately and then together). Available Summary: Our Flag Means Death is an American period romantic comedy television series created by David Jenkins. Set in 1717 during the Golden Age of Piracy, the series follows the misadventures of gentleman-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet and his crew aboard the Revenge as they try to make a name for themselves as pirates and cross paths with famed pirate captain Blackbeard. -Wikipedia. Jack's Summary: Season 1: Our Flag Means Death is a comedic romance about pirates, with a lot of GBT+ representation. Jim Jimenez with Oluwande Boodhari. A character named Jim is introduced in episode 1. The crewmates of The Revenge, Stede Bonnet's ship, believe "him" to be a mute man, knowing very little about him except that he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Oluwande Boodhari is the only crewmate who knows anything substantial about Jim. Jim's first appearance without a disguise. At the end of this first episode, Jim is revealed to be wearing a disguise, which includes a fake beard and nose. Over ensuing episodes, it's revealed that Jim is concealing their true identity because they are wanted for murder. Jim writing about wearing a false beard. Jim's disguise is eventually removed in front of all crewmates, who are immediately curious about who (and what) Jim is, especially considering seafaring myths about women being bad luck. In episode 4, when asked, "The whole time, you were a woman?" Jim replies, "Yeah... I guess. I don't know." It's subtly apparent that Jim is still figuring out who they are, and how they'd rather live. They quickly decide, however, that they do want to remain as Jim, but in a more authentic way (without the disguise). Sick of the questions and awkwardness, they say to the crew, "You all know me as Jim, sí? Just keep calling me Jim. Nothing's changed. Except I don't have the beard, and my nose is different, and I can speak now... Anyone got a problem with that?" Nobody does. From then onward, their gender isn't discussed. Our Flag Means Death is a comedy that only loosely mirrors real histories, allowing for Jim to exist as a non-binary person in ways that stretch early 18th century reality. This allows for a relaxed viewing experience for non-binary people. Crewmates ease into using they/them pronouns for Jim, from episode 7 onwards, and it's not a big deal. I really loved how Jim's arc was handled. I loved that the comfort and mental wellness of LGBT+ viewers guided depictions of coming out, relationships, and self-identification. The show simply refuses to handle some topics, operating within a limited, comedic world that bypasses many of the traumas LGBT+ people experience. As an example, the non-binary actor who played Jim (Vico Ortiz) wore a chest binder throughout filming , resulting in a character who has a flattened chest, but the show doesn't tackle how such a character might bind. Many other shows and films would have been unable to resist the temptation to show Jim wrapping bandages around their body, as per a dangerous stereotype in FTM, gender-diverse, and crossdressing media . Our Flag Means Death ignores that trope completely, and revels in the freedom of being a comedy rather than a faithful historical reenactment. One of my favourite episodes is episode 7, where Jim's nana is introduced. The woman's reaction to Jim going by a new name is beautifully understated, bypassing hostility or awkwardness to focus on more important things; teasing of Jim due to their closeness with Oluwande, and questions about the revenge mission which has defined Jim's life. Jim and Oluwande. Oluwande's relationship with Jim is one of the show's most valuable, and touching, storylines. That's saying a lot, considering the grace and gentleness with which Stede and Blackbeard's relationship is handled, particularly in the final episodes of season 1. Oluwande's affection for Jim, and the fact that he is attracted to a person who is neither a man or a woman, is another example of Our Flag Means Death ignoring predictable questions. The fact that Oluwande and Jim fall in love, and have sex, doesn't need a label or a crisis of sexuality. The relationship between the pair is simply allowed to exist. A woman aggressively coming onto Jim. The only season 1 scene that made me uncomfortable involved a woman (named Spanish Jackie) flirting with Jim, making an unwelcome sexual comment that referred to an erection, and backing them into a corner in a way that would rightfully be unacceptable if a cis man had done the same to a cis woman. In the context of the show, Jackie was actually trying to get physically close to Jim to pull off their fake beard and nose, and she wasn't necessarily motivated by sexual desire. That didn't really alleviate my discomfort, as the scene felt too similar to an old "comedic" trope of a man enduring the unwanted attention of a woman, and this supposedly being funny. The fact that the man, in this case, was the persona of a male impersonator didn't make the parallel any better. You can learn more about the "comedic" trope of women harassing men, and how this has long been mishandled, by watching this video essay . Jim, while in the role of a man, had to remain mute, which meant that they couldn't say "stop" or "get away from me" aloud... which obviously made the scene even more uncomfortable. Whether the afore-mentioned scene will bother you as much as it bothers me likely depends on your background, whether you've been sexually harassed by women, and how consciously you analyse the differences between masculine and feminine characters when it comes to the framing of sexual harassment. This scene could've been handled better. If a cis man wanted to pull of a cis woman's disguise, so he made sexual advances towards her and pressed her against a wall in the same way Jackie did to Jim, I have no doubt that fans would've rightfully labelled him as a total creep. There is stereotypical pirate-themed violence (stabbing, shooting, fighting), forced auto-cannibalism, cursing, and other expected drama. The show also handles racism, slavery, and classism. There are brief flashbacks and references to domestic, familial abuse and patricide. You can read about Vico Ortiz's experience filming Our Flag Means Death here . Season 2: S02E04 features a scene where a woman sits on a gay man's lap and aggressively kisses him, even though he verbally indicates his discomfort and is clearly not consenting to it. She only stops because somebody else happens to be in the room, and interrupts. Later, the woman lies about the encounter in front of the man's male partner, claiming that he gave her "a proper tonguing". The gay man, uncomfortable and worried that his partner will believe the woman's claim, has to correct the record and say, "No, she kissed me ." The woman is not held accountable for what she did, and the takeaway is that she's just bored in her relationship, justifying leaping onto someone and kissing them against their will. The fact that Our Flag Means Death is a comedy doesn't stop this being a scene of sexual assault. If the gender roles were reversed, and a man did exactly the same thing to a woman, people would absolutely call it assault (or at least harassment) regardless of the show's genre. Fans of this show would've furiously criticised the writers for depicting a non-consensual kiss as comedy, if that kiss were being forced onto a lesbian by a man. But, when it's a woman kissing a gay man against his will, apparently it's completely acceptable. What I saw in S02E04 was a common experience for male survivors... turned into a joke. The difference is that real men/boys don't have zany minor characters to intervene and prevent sexual assaults from going further, and real men/boys experience discomfort and distress in the wake of being assaulted by women, at which point many such victims are laughed at because a woman assaulting a man is funny or unbelievable. It's long past time for shows and films to stop minimising the seriousness of men being assaulted/harassed, especially when a show claims to be progressive, as Our Flag Means Death does. The double standard has to end. It's not okay to kiss men without consent. It's not funny to kiss men without consent. If it's assault when a man does it to a woman, it's assault when a woman does it to a man. I know many people will disagree with my take on this show's depictions of non-consensual sexual advances, and might seek to minimise the double standards which are glaringly apparent in Our Flag Means Death . A great deal of this show deserves praise and admiration, from the casting to the writing, and that appeal shouldn't have been tainted by scenes which do nothing except downplay the seriousness of assaulting and sexually harassing males. If you are a man who has survived sexual abuse, I recommend the site 1in6 , which supports and advocates on behalf of men/boys who are survivors. It addresses the specific struggles faced by men. You are not alone. Additionally, this article shares the experiences of a 50-year-old trans man named Trystan Cotten, who was unable to seek support for harassment due to being a man, and found that women laughed at his experiences when he tried to get help. If you have found yourself in similar situations, and you've noticed a double standard since transitioning, please know that countless men have been through exactly the same thing, and it is not okay. We all deserve better. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026 Related Media Non-Binary Media Browse
