Adam, a trans man played by English trans male actor Jake Graf, falls in love with Rocky, a trans man played by English cis male actor Harry Rundle. Written and directed by Jake Graf. Brace Short Film 2015 England Adam, a trans man played by English trans male actor Jake Graf, falls in love with Rocky, a trans man played by English cis male actor Harry Rundle. Written and directed by Jake Graf. Watch. Available Summary: After coming out and leaving his girlfriend, Adam dreams of finding acceptance within London's gay scene. His burgeoning freedom is soon challenged when he meets Rocky, a handsome stranger who is harbouring a secret that he desperately wants to share with Adam. As their bond strengthens and Rocky prepares to reveal his secret to Adam, their fledgling romance is ruptured by a cataclysmic event that forces the truth to come out in the most explosive manner. -Vimeo. Jack's Summary: At the beginning of this film, Adam is shown hooking up with a man in a nightclub, and then staring at himself in the mirror, obviously regretting cheating on his girlfriend. The next morning, he breaks up with her, and she responds by insisting that him being gay is just a phase. We see in a flashback that his father reacted far worse, calling his son a homophobic slur, furious that his child was coming out a second time. Adam and Rocky. Adam first meets Rocky in a nightclub, where they briefly speak, and then meet up for dates. When Adam tries to kiss Rocky, he pulls back. Rocky, unaware that Adam is trans as well, insists that he has something he needs to tell him. Adam, also unaware that Rocky is trans, suggests that they just get to know each other. They continue partying and going on dates together. One night, on a date, the pair are accosted by homophobic men who call them slurs. Rocky, who walks home alone, is then gay bashed by the same group. Adam gets a call from a women's hospital the next day, confused when a nurse tells him that his phone number was found in the wallet of a woman whose name he does not recognise. When he arrives at the hospital, he realises that the name he'd heard is Rocky's deadname, and that Rocky is a trans man, just like him. The nurse who is "caring" for Rocky in hospital demeans Rocky and makes a comment about his genitals, in a manner similar to what I have personally encountered when seeking medical care. Adam, who had no idea that Rocky had been gay bashed after their date, flees the hospital and vomits outside, traumatised by seeing him so injured. He then takes the bus home, for some bizarre reason, not staying by Rocky's side. When he changes his mind and returns to the hospital, Rocky is already gone. The same nurse, not knowing that Adam is trans as well, continues her vile rhetoric against trans men. When Adam finds Rocky again, he apologises for leaving the hospital and insists that he doesn't want to leave Rocky based on him being trans. Rocky says, "I would." When Adam asks what he means, Rocky says that he wouldn't want to date a trans man. It is clear that he is dealing with self-hatred and internalised transphobia. He refers to himself as a freak, and reveals that his last boyfriend physically abused him. Adam and Rocky reconnect after this, and things seem good between them for a short while. When they are making out in the nightclub, however, Rocky feels Adam's crotch through his jeans. Based on the shape of Adam's crotch (and apparently assuming Adam is not a cis man with a small penis or an intersex variation), Rocky realises that Adam is trans. He is furious, yelling that he doesn't want to be with a trans man, also saying, "I don't want to be like you." They meet the following night, with Adam apologising for not coming out as a trans man earlier. Rocky insists that he just wants to be normal, which is apparently the reason he cannot be with another trans man. He walks away, leaving Adam distressed. The Casting of Rocky: In this interview , Graf discusses making and starring in the film: "When I wrote my short film, Brace , I wanted another trans man playing opposite me. But not only were there no trans actors applying for the role, the cisgender actor who played the part, Harry Rundle, was absolutely stunning and the best of everyone we saw. It would have been madness not to give him the part simply because he wasn’t trans, too." Entry last updated: 9 Mar 2026

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 .

Chris, a trans male barista played by American non-binary actor Theo Germaine, falls in love with an older queer woman named Abby, played by American actor Abby McEnany. The series is semi-autobiographical and based on Abby McEnany's life. Work in Progress Show 2019 United States of America Chris, a trans male barista played by American non-binary actor Theo Germaine, falls in love with an older queer woman named Abby, played by American actor Abby McEnany. The series is semi-autobiographical and based on Abby McEnany's life. Trailer. Available Summary: Abby is a 45-year-old self-identified fat, queer dyke whose misfortune and despair unexpectedly lead her to a vibrantly transformative relationship. -DVD blurb. Jack's Summary: This show is incredibly sweet and authentic, right down to the casting of main and side characters. A 45-year-old, self-identified "fat, queer dyke" (who also identifies as "not a lesbian") falls in love with a 22-year-old trans man after meeting him at the restaurant where he works. The series tackles issues including family conflict, suicide, death, STI stigma, bathroom safety, OCD, and dysphoria, but it's not depressing to watch. It's a pretty big deal for me to say that, because I am diagnosed with OCD, and one of the sub-types I experience is Self-Harm/Suicidal OCD. For this series to so prominently feature suicidal ideation and disordered compulsions, and still be a feel-good experience for me, is very significant. Work in Progress is one of the most unique shows I've ever seen, and it's very funny! I would not trust many shows or films to portray a romance between a "dyke" and a trans man, without delegitimising and invalidating the manhood of the trans guy involved. As it is, Work in Progress is very respectful and emphasises that Chris is happy to enter into the relationship. Abby sees Chris as a man, and refers to him as such. I really enjoyed Abby and Chris's discussions about sexual preferences and dysphoria. I highly, highly recommend this show. I have seen some people having knee-jerk negative reactions to this show, without even seeing it, based on the fact that a trans male character is in a relationship with a self-identified dyke. While I understand that negative reaction, I would like to gently remind people that, yes, some trans men do happily and knowingly have sexual relationships with dyke-identifying women, and even lesbians. (I have also known trans women that have sexual relationships with gay men.) While some trans men, myself included, have sexual identities closer to that of binary cis males, it is more complex for some in our community. We need to make space for that complexity and accept it. That being said, this show is an exception in portraying such a relationship gracefully and respectfully, and I can easily imagine other shows/films doing a very poor job. This is a semi-autobiographical series, based on the lived experiences of Abby McEnany. In this interview , she discusses her identity and life history; "I don't identify as a lesbian anymore. I identify as a queer dyke or a queer woman... I never felt like a lesbian-lesbian because I still was attracted to some men. Also, I think the word dyke is very powerful, and I feel like dykes can do whatever the fuck they want. Then I started dating a young trans man. If I was still referred to as a lesbian, I'd be totally negating his gender. Alex isn't a woman. Alex is a man. So, then I was like, "Okay, I'm queer. I'm dyke-identified." I made up "queer dyke" for myself. It makes sense to me." We all feel differently about language and labels, and certainly, this show may not be your cup of tea... or you may adore it.

Lee, a trans man played by English actress Emma Lowndes, is a thief who steals to fund transition surgeries. He is in a relationship with a woman. While on holiday with his mother, he meets his father for the first time, who accepts him as a son. Von Trapped Film 2004 England Lee, a trans man played by English actress Emma Lowndes, is a thief who steals to fund transition surgeries. He is in a relationship with a woman. While on holiday with his mother, he meets his father for the first time, who accepts him as a son. Watch. Available Summary: Hairdresser Maria is fixated by The Sound of Music (1965) - it was the film she saw the night she was jilted 18 years ago. In a bid to confront her demons, Maria decides to travel to Salzburg, but with her mother and teenage offspring in tow she gets more than she bargained for. -IMDb. Jack's Summary: I was pleasantly surprised by this one! The trans male character is certainly a collection of tropes, but his characterisation and ending could have been much worse, particularly considering when this came out. Lee, Maria's trans son, is first introduced walking with his girlfriend, Tammy Jade, down the street. She is jealous and yelling at him, annoyed that he has apparently been checking out other women. Later, he is shown stealing clothing from a store to fund transition surgeries, with the assistance of his nan. Lee arguing with Tammy Jade. Tammy Jade next appears with Lee in a pub. Unaware that he is a trans man, she interrupts his pool game to claim that he has somehow gotten her pregnant, and therefore they must get married. In actuality, she is not pregnant, and is just lying because she doesn't want to lose him to anybody else. Figuring that she must have cheated on him in order to become pregnant, Lee storms out in anger. Lee proposing to Tammy Jade. Soon after this, Lee decides that he doesn't care if Tammy Jade is pregnant by someone else. He buys (or potentially steals) an engagement ring for her, saying that he will raise the baby as his own. She happily accepts. Tammy Jade reveals the engagement to a woman named Madison, who previously dated Lee and is aware of his trans status. Madison, in response to seeing Tammy Jade's ring, calls her a lesbian, indirectly misgendering Lee and outing him as a trans man. Tammy Jade's brother, Ryan, is present at the time and hears this comment. In a scene which seems to mock Tammy Jade for her reaction, rather than mocking Lee, she tries to pull off the engagement ring in a panic, hitting her brother in the process. Lee with a bloody nose from being attacked. Later, when Lee is walking alone at night, he is attacked by three men, one of whom is Ryan. They pin him to the ground, unzip his trousers, and laugh when they find the sock he was packing with. But viewers are not being encouraged to laugh along; this attack is presented as a horrible act. When this film originally aired in 2004, it may have gotten some audiences thinking about trans male struggles for the very first time. Tammy Jade comes across the group, is horrified by what her brother and his friends are doing, and stops them. Lee goes home and takes a bath, crying. Viewers see that he is wearing bandages to bind his chest, which is par for the course in the early-2000s. That said, please don't follow Lee's example in the modern day. Learn more here. Lee goes to his mother that night, hugging her and crying. He had previously refused to accompany her on a holiday to Salzburg, due to his passport photo being feminine, but decides that traveling will be a good escape. Tammy Jade declaring her love. To Lee's surprise, Tammy Jade follows him to Salzburg. The pair go to a café together, to talk. After admitting that she was never pregnant, and was just afraid of losing him, she says, "I'm so sorry, Lee. When our Ryan did what he did, it got me thinking... I don't care what you are. I love you! I do!" A happy young fiancé. The pair hold hands and then, for the first and only time in the movie, viewers are encouraged to laugh at Lee directly. The source of the humour, though, is something decidedly non-trans; his drink, which is topped with cream, gives him a moustache. This is a joke which could occur with literally any character. It is not a mockery of trans people as a population. If anything, it's just a gentle joke reinforcing how youthful Lee and Tammy Jade are at eighteen years old, leaning on a universal theme of adorable young love to disarm the seriousness of what the pair were previously talking about. I find that fantastic. Lee stating his intentions. Lee, talking with his mother in his next scene, reveals that he intends to medically transition. "I wanna have an operation. I'm gonna be a fella. A proper fella. 'Cause I am, mum. I'm a fella. You do understand, don't you? Nan does." He also states that, after transition surgeries, he will marry Tammy Jade. His mother, Maria, is overwhelmed by these announcements, and Lee leaves when she begins to cry. At this point in the main plot, Maria encounters Larry, her former fiancé and Lee's father. After being left at the altar by him eighteen years ago, Maria is determined to have dinner with him and get some answers. Kath, Maria's mother and Lee's nan, is adamant that she should not go. Tammy Jade and Lee correcting Lee's mother. While Kath and Maria are arguing about this, Kath yells, "He abandoned my bloody granddaughter!" Lee and Tammy Jade, who are in the same room, flatly correct her, saying, "Son," in unison. Maria replies, "Yeah, but she's not the only one he abandoned, is she?" Again, Lee and Tammy Jade say, "He," in unison. I really love this dialogue. Tammy Jade's expressions, particularly, appear shocked and almost scandalised by Lee being referred to incorrectly. The joke isn't that Lee is trans. The joke is that other people are getting it wrong, and they're being ridiculous. At dinner with Larry, Maria finds out that, in fact, Larry did not abandon her. Kath, believing that Larry was not the right fit for her daughter, told him that Maria had gotten pregnant by somebody else, and that the wedding was not going ahead. The pair realise they have both been tricked by Kath, and they reconcile. During this conversation, Larry finds out that the baby was actually his. When he asks whether the baby is a boy or a girl, Maria hesitates, and then says, "I had a little girl. Called her Liesl. But..." The scene cuts before we know how she explains Lee's transition, or how Larry reacts. Lee meeting his father. The next day, Lee meets Larry for the first time, in a scene which is genuinely lovely. It is clear that, despite Maria's complex feelings about her son's transition, she made sure to properlu explain Lee's true identity to Larry. Larry walks towards Lee with a big, proud smile and says, "You must be Lee. My son." Lee takes a moment to absorb this, stunned by what he's hearing. The pair walk together, with Larry saying that he always wanted a son, asking, "How long have you been living like a fella, then?" Lee replies, "Long as I can remember." Referring to a medical transition and surgery in particular, Larry asks, "You're determined to go through with it?" When Lee nods, Larry says, "Fair play to you, lad." He then offers to financially support Lee and pay for his medical transition. I was surprised by how trans-positive this film ended up being, for 2004. In Lee's last scene, he's misgendered by his mother, which felt unnecessary and a bit disappointing, but I still reckon this film handled a trans male character relatively well. Other aspects of the movie are pretty dated, inevitably, but I'm glad I gave it a watch! Entry last updated: 12 Mar 2026

Noah, a trans man played by trans male actor Elliot Fletcher, has a small recurring role in the third season of this show. Faking It (S3) Show 2016 United States of America Noah, a trans man played by trans male actor Elliot Fletcher, has a small recurring role in the third season of this show. Available Summaries: After numerous attempts of trying to be popular, two best friends decide to come out as lesbians, which launches them to instant celebrity status. Seduced by their newfound fame, Karma and Amy decide to keep up their romantic ruse. -IMDb (premise of the show). Shane Harvey [is] the most popular boy in school who is openly gay... By of the end of the series, he has had three major love interests... [including] Noah, a trans man who Shane feels conflicted about being attracted to due to the gender he was assigned at birth. -Wikipedia. Jack's Summary: Overall, I found Faking It so poorly-written that I skipped around and exclusively watched Noah's scenes. However, my opinions are not universal, and these reviews are not impartial. You may enjoy Faking It , if you enjoy this genre of television. All of Noah's dialogue is as cliché and predictable as everything else that every character says, but issues referenced throughout his storyline include homelessness, disclosure, transphobia, and the separation of gender and sexuality. That (and the casting of a trans actor) is worth something, irrespective of my opinions on this genre. The writers conjure Noah's transphobic brother out of nowhere, in S03E10. He deadnames, misgenders, and insults Noah, then backs off (with unrealistic restraint) when Noah is defended by his cis gay boyfriend. All in all, a cheesy/tokenistic but sweet few episodes... which, regardless, probably did some good by introducing viewers to a trans man played by an actual trans man.

Buck Vu, a teenage trans boy played by Vietnamese-American non-binary actor Ian Alexander, is a high schooler who befriends a woman that claims to be an inter-dimensional angel. The OA Show 2016 United States of America, Vietnam Buck Vu, a teenage trans boy played by Vietnamese-American non-binary actor Ian Alexander, is a high schooler who befriends a woman that claims to be an inter-dimensional angel. Season 1 Trailer. Season 2 Trailer. Available Summary: A woman missing for seven years turns up at a hospital with strange scars on her back, but can't (or won't) reveal where she's been. -Netflix. Jack's Summary: This is one of the most polarising, love-it-or-hate-it shows out there. I come down on the "hate it" side of that equation. Maybe avoid my review if you'd prefer to enjoy it. The protagonist, a woman who calls herself The OA (The Original Angel), was born in Russia and named Nina, then adopted by parents in America and renamed Prairie. As a young adult, she is abducted by a man researching near-death experiences, and imprisoned by him for seven years. She falls in love with Homer, a man who is also being held captive in the same basement. All captives are repeatedly killed and revived, with the torturer recording what happens to subjects' brains throughout. The captives come to believe that they are connecting with a celestial being in another dimension, and from her they eventually learn an interpretive dance which can open portals, resurrect people, and cure incurable illnesses. Eventually, the torturer decides he's gotten all of the information he needs (particularly this magical dance), and he abandons Prairie out in the world. She is hospitalised, reunited with her adoptive American parents, and connects with four students at a local high school. One of them, Buck Vu, is a trans boy who is accessing testosterone on the black market and lives with an unaccepting family. Main characters standing up and doing interpretive dance moves, with accompanying vocals, during a school shooting. Season 1 sees Prairie monologuing at the four students, interspersed with flashbacks and drama. The show takes itself (and its annoying characters) incredibly seriously, all for the finale of season 1 to throw Prairie's entire story into doubt by having you believe that she was making up this stuff all along. What the finale of season 1 also offers is a ridiculous scene where the main characters perform the interpretive dance moves to stop an out-of-nowhere school shooting, which doesn't work particularly well, because Prairie get shot and dies in the ambulance. All the dance achieves, seemingly, is bewildering the shooter so that a brave cafeteria worker (the only real hero in this story) can tackle him while he's distracted. ...And that's it. That's the ending of season 1. Utterly unsatisfying, and a trivialisation of school shootings. Any satisfaction could only come from watching season 2 to get some answers, which is not worth it in the slightest, unless you want to learn how truly over-complicated a show could possibly make itself. Homer being touched for the first time in years. In episode 5 of season 1, Homer (a man who has been tortured and kept in physical isolation for years) is mentally unstable and increasingly confused when flown by his abductor to Cuba. In a state where he cannot possibly consent to any sexual activity (he does not even know how old he is), he is forced by his captor into a room with a woman that wishes to have sex with him. He pleads with her to leave him alone, saying, "please go," and hyperventilating. She does not do as asked, proceeding to touch and kiss him. The pair have sex. Despite the fact that Homer was clearly unable to give mentally-coherent consent, the show prioritises the protagonist's jealousy and anger, framing the rape as an act of being unfaithful rather than an extremely traumatic experience for Homer. It all feels very victim-blaming and gross. In season 2, Prairie (after being shot) inhabits a different version of herself in another reality, transferring to that body after her death in the original reality. In this dimension, Buck's alternate self is still going by the name Michelle, and has not transitioned. Buck aside, season 2 gets very, very stupid, and I don't have any deep insights to offer about this self-indulgent mess which involves a giant octopus, a talking tree, and brain seeds. There are many, many analyses authored by people who liked this show, so I encourage you to read those, if you are actually interested. Or just watch it. Eventually, the dimension-hopping drama escalates to the fictional characters entering the "real world" and being addressed by the real actors' names. Michelle even finds herself in the body of Ian Alexander (the actor), which Alexander discusses in this interview , also admitting that the show's confusing plot affected filming due to actors and staff being unsure what was going on. Would I recommend watching this show for the trans male representation? Absolutely not. But I hated The OA , so of course I wouldn't. If you love this show, more power to you.
