Y: The Last Man Show 2021 United States of America Sam Jordan, a trans man played by American trans male actor Elliot Fletcher, inhabits a post-apocalyptic world where all individuals with a Y chromosome have died, except for one cis man. Silas, a trans man played by Canadian trans male actor Harrison Brown, has a brief appearance. Trailer. Available Summary: Y: The Last Man takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious cataclysmic event simultaneously killed every mammal with a Y chromosome but for one man; Yorick Brown and his male pet monkey Ampersand. The series follows Yorick as he traverses the new world, as its survivors struggle with their losses and attempt to restore world society... In the original comic book series, every animal with a Y chromosome instantaneously dies at the same time, including most mammals... While trans people did not feature heavily in the original comic, it was mentioned that trans men survived due to not having Y chromosomes... The producers aimed to update and expand on the ramifications of this, to reflect changing societal attitudes in the West toward gender in the almost two decades since the comic began. The showrunners specified that trans women with Y chromosomes also died, as well as women with androgen insensitivity who were unaware they possessed Y chromosomes. The showrunners also added a trans male character to the regular cast (Sam Jordan, played by Elliot Fletcher), who does not have a direct counterpart in the original comic, to expand on this world-building. -Wikipedia.

Adam, a trans boy played by Canadian actress Jordan Todosey, experiences discrimination and violence as he tries to be himself at school. Degrassi Show 2010 United States of America Adam, a trans boy played by Canadian actress Jordan Todosey, experiences discrimination and violence as he tries to be himself at school. Jack's Summary: Degrassi previously had a trans male character named Adam, played by Canadian actress Jordan Todosey. This storyline was praised as being very progressive when it originally aired, but I'm pretty confident in saying we've come a long way since then, judging by the character's use of bandages to bind his chest . All of the scenes I've seen are very cliché and one-dimensional, although that is not limited to Adam’s depiction alone. You can watch some scenes here and here , but prepare yourself for unsafe chest binding, self harm, transphobia, deadnaming, misgendering, physical assault, and bullying. Chaz Bono, a trans male celebrity and actor, has a brief role in the show, where he provides advice to the trans boy character. You can read a blow-by-blow account of Adam’s storyline on his wiki page , if you are interested. Originally, Todosey signed up to play an “androgynous lesbian character”, but after being hired was told that she’d actually be playing a trans boy. Reportedly, she was incredibly uncomfortable presenting masculinely for the role, and said that wearing “guy clothes” while watching “the other girls [get] dressed up and get their hair and makeup done” made her relate to “how a transgender male-to-female might feel”. In the same interview where she discussed those discomforts, she also mentioned wanting to make Adam “likeable and fun” so that teenage viewers of Degrassi wouldn’t be intimidated when meeting trans classmates. She also said that her dream storyline for Adam would be an "A Plot" (meaning a main plot) which involves him, but does not focus on his gender. “I really want him to just be a guy and do something fun and daring with his guy friends… for him to finally get the girl and have a great relationship with her”. She also referenced feeling a “huge responsibility” to portray him properly. Based on what I have seen, this was a very flawed depiction of a trans boy, played by a young actress with genuinely good intentions. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026

This documentary focuses on the rape and murder of American trans man Brandon Teena, which occurred five years prior. Beyond the interviewees who misgender and deadname Brandon, and disbelieve his male identity even in death, his rapists and murderers are also interviewed. The Brandon Teena Story Documentary 1998 United States of America This documentary focuses on the rape and murder of American trans man Brandon Teena, which occurred five years prior. Beyond the interviewees who misgender and deadname Brandon, and disbelieve his male identity even in death, his rapists and murderers are also interviewed. Watch. Jack's Summary: Brandon Teena was a non-disclosing American trans man who, at the age of twenty-one, was outed as trans by a newspaper. Two of his acquaintances, in response to this information, raped him. When he reported the assaults to the police, they were more interested in his trans identity than the crime, and did not charge the rapists. Following this, the pair tracked Brandon down and murdered him, along with two other people. From what I remember of this documentary, it was distressing and allowed far too many people to go unchallenged as they degraded, humiliated, misgendered, and deadnamed Brandon, laughing at his masculinity. The men who raped and murdered him are among the cast. Would I recommend watching this? If you want a raw, confronting, horrific picture of transphobia and violence against trans men... yes, absolutely. If you're wanting anything else... no way. Entry last updated: 7 Mar 2026

Cremisius Aclassi, also known as Krem, is a trans male mercenary and a supporting character in this fantasy game. He is voiced by Canadian-American voice actress Jennifer Hale. Dragon Age: Inquisition Game 2014 Fictional Location, Canada, United States of America Cremisius Aclassi, also known as Krem, is a trans male mercenary and a supporting character in this fantasy game. He is voiced by Canadian-American voice actress Jennifer Hale. Available Summary: When the sky opens up and rains down chaos, the world needs heroes. Become the savior of Thedas in Dragon Age: Inquisition . You are the Inquisitor, tasked with saving the world from itself. But the road ahead is paved with difficult decisions. Thedas is a land of strife. Factions constantly war with each other even as a larger demonic invasion has begun. And you? You and your band of champions are the only ones who can hold it together. It’s your job to lead them...or fall. -Steam. Jack's Summary: Cremisius Aclassi, also known as Krem, is a trans male mercenary whose inclusion in this game I really appreciated when I originally played it. Throughout the game, he discusses being raised by a father who was willing to treat him like a boy, then growing up and serving as a soldier for Tevinter. Tevinter is a magocracy where those without magical abilities are subjugated and often forced into slavery. The Aclassi family were not mages. After watching his own father sell himself into servitude when his tailoring business was unable to compete with cheap clothes produced through slave labour, Krem enlisted in the army as a man. When the player asks why he decided to live as a man, Krem replies, "I didn’t decide anything. I’ve been like this my whole life." If the player asks how his family reacted when he came out as a trans man, Krem says, "My mother wanted to throw me out. She said, if I didn’t marry well, I was dooming the family to slavery. She was happy to take the money I sent as a soldier, though. Not that it mattered, in the end. My father… when I was little, he’d angle his mirror down so I could pretend to shave, just like him. He never said anything, but I think he knew." Regarding his military service and how he met his company's mercenary leader, The Iron Bull, Krem explains, "Women are allowed to serve, but only in certain ranks and disciplines... The healer I’d bribed to sign off on my physical had to tend a sick magister. When the replacement healer saw what was, or wasn’t, in my pants, he made threats. It was slavery or death, so I knocked him out and ran... A tribune and his men caught me in a border town tavern. They meant to make an example of me. Bull killed them. Gave up his eye doing it. He patched me up and asked if I was looking for work. I’ve been putting up with his jokes ever since." The Iron Bull will defend Krem's identity if the player asks questions, unwavering in his insistence that Krem is a real man. Depending on the player's choices, Krem has three possible endings; he continues working as a mercenary with Bull, he begins a relationship with a singer named Maryden Halewell and travels with her, or he dies as part of a military operation when the player is forced to choose the lesser evil. While I could understand people being angry that BioWare's first trans character can be killed off by the player, his death has huge consequences. If Krem and the other mercenaries are killed, Bull will turn on the player later in the game, even if he loves the player and has pledged himself to them in a tradition which is comparable to marriage. This is a game where romances are monogamous. Even if you have committed to Bull, if you have devoted your entire run to that romance, it doesn't matter. If you kill Krem and the others, you will have no choice but to murder Bull, or he will murder you. Honestly, I still treasure Krem, and there are only two aspects of his character that I would criticise. Firstly, it would have been fantastic if he were voiced by a trans male voice actor. Secondly, the player is able to ask very personal questions about Krem pretty quickly, including the following: PLAYER: If you had the chance to use magic, would you change all the way? KREM: What? No. I don’t want any magic like that within ten yards of my body. When I was younger… I don’t know. Everyone has silly dreams. In Tevinter, dreams like that get you killed. Bull helped me make a good life. Nice armor and a well-placed sock, and I’m happy. That dialogue feels realistic to questions I have also been asked, even by acquaintances, brand new friends, and friends who have not seen me for a long time. Wanting to know whether I will "change all the way," or whether I am "fully a man," is very typical of people whose curiosity about trans bodies overrides the restraint they would otherwise show when asking people about their genitalia. Having Krem respond by saying, "None of your business," would've been better. While BioWare did consult the trans community when developing Krem, it's clear that they had more to learn. And they did, in fact, learn; while Dragon Age: The Veilguard has flaws, and is arguably an inferior game in terms of varied endings and roleplay outcomes, its trans representation is far better.

Tosiek, a trans man played by Polish non-binary actor Alin Szewczyk, navigates school, romance, mental illness, and harassment as he figures out his identity. Fanfik (Fanfic) Film 2023 Poland Tosiek, a trans man played by Polish non-binary actor Alin Szewczyk, navigates school, romance, mental illness, and harassment as he figures out his identity. Trailer. Available Summary: Two high school students form an intense connection as they navigate the challenges of discovering and expressing their truest selves. -Netflix. Jack's Review: When I found out that the protagonist of this film (Tosiek) is played by a model, I wasn’t surprised. I’ve got nothing against Alin Szewczyk, who themself is non-binary, but too much of this movie is a cross between a film clip and a modelling reel. It has almost no substance beyond looking pretty, and it's all over the place. One scene is simply the thin, androgynous protagonist scrolling through Instagram and looking at thin, androgynous models while his thin peers take selfies at their lockers. It's very boring very quickly. There is no body diversity or alternative expressions of androgyny. Too many scenes look like they were filmed on a runway, or as part of a fashion line promotion. It’s hard to believe that the characters are average school kids when they’re so professionally styled. A bigger issue is the fact that Tosiek is utterly unlikeable, and much of the story involves him reaping what he sows, though he ultimately is spared any real consequence. Not all trans characters have to be likeable, but with Tosiek being thoroughly dissatisfying and the writing equally so, it's hard to find a reason to watch Fanfic at all. The film opens with him vomiting in a school toilet (a particularly gross scene), after which viewers find out that he has been stealing and irregularly taking antidepressants, yet he somehow doesn't connect his symptoms with the fact that he has been abusing someone else's prescription medication and exceeding dosage limits. His nausea and mood swings must be everyone else's fault, not his own. Drug use can be depicted sensitively and with nuance, encouraging viewers to sympathise with people who abuse prescription medications, but Fanfic is not capable of that. He is cruel and dismissive towards a classmate who is openly supportive of both his gender identity and his fanfiction, causing her to abandon and bully him. He wilfully mistakes occasional flirting for consent, and abruptly kisses (assaults) a cis boy without asking first. He steals a classmate's bike, causing the classmate's abusive father to become angry. Determined to demonise a cis gay boy, he physically assaults him and hurts him a great deal... particularly when you consider that the attack was entirely unprovoked. Not that Tosiek has the maturity to process that before getting violent. In all things, he is forgiven. His conflicts are magically resolved without the need for humility, certainly from his end. He never fully realises the role he has played in his own misery or (equally importantly) other people's distress. At least in Romeos (a film which also features a very flawed trans man), all of the main characters are equally flawed and are held to the same standard. What really annoys me about Fanfic is the bratty hypocrisy. Tosiek watches video tutorials on open chest binding, rather than using bandages. I liked five things about this film. One, the casting of a trans actor, despite the overall quality of the movie. Two, the dad's involvement, particularly a scene where he shows Tosiek footage from his childhood and finally becomes supportive. Three, a scene where Tosiek affirms himself through open chest binding, which is a huge step forward from bandage binding in films . Four, a scene where Tosiek and a classmate lay together, comprising the only convincing manifestation of the film's promised "intense connection" between them. Five, Tosiek's gender euphoria when putting on a boy's clothes, which is similar to what happened to me. Therein ends my positive experience with this movie. I'm not even sure why this film is called Fanfic . The film is at its best when it is trying (not always successfully) to flesh out Tosiek beyond the limits of his fanfiction imaginings. I get it, Tosiek affirms himself through fantasies, where he can be as androgynous and masculine as he wishes... But most of the movie isn't about fanfiction. It certainly doesn't warrant occupying the film's title. Tosiek, leaning toward his food while getting a haircut. The scene which sums up this movie's issues features Tosiek eating a bowl of noodles while a boy cuts his hair. Oh-so-aesthetically pleasing, I guess, but he was definitely munching on noodles with a side of hair clippings. Yum. This film is more concerned with looking pretty than being real, which might be tolerable if it was also well-written. Unfortunately, it is not. This is ultimately just one trans bloke's review, and I'm sure many people enjoy this movie, so take my opinions with as big a grain of salt as you wish. All in all, I'm glad this film was made. I'm glad any time a trans actor gets to play a trans role, even if I don't like the movie itself... for example, Relish ... which is definitely inferior to Fanfic , given the fact that it features bandage binding.

Steve, an English trans man, is interviewed about his transition alongside trans women at different stages in their journeys. What Am I? Documentary 1980 England Steve, an English trans man, is interviewed about his transition alongside trans women at different stages in their journeys. Watch. Available Summary: Years before the Gender Recognition Act of 2004 enabled transgender people to obtain some basic rights, the practical difficulties faced by those wishing to change the sex assigned to them at birth were explored in this film... Touching and sometimes frank, the film looks at issues around acceptance. There are also moments of humour, such as Steve's bad luck when bumping into his mother on his first night out presenting as male. April Ashley, who features in the film while living in Hay on Wye in Herefordshire, was at the centre of a newspaper storm in the early sixties when she married Arthur Corbett, 3rd Baron Rowallan. Their marriage was annulled in 1970 on the grounds that Ashley was born male, despite Corbett knowing this when they were wed. Another significant figure to appear in the film is Judy Cousins, who was running a self-help organisation called SHAFT in 1980. She was a noted sculptor and served with the British Army in India. - BFI Player . Jack's Summary: Part One: This documentary is, naturally, the product of its time. The language and beliefs around transsexual men and women might be very different to what you have encountered in modern-day dialogue. It certainly has value though, as it addresses employment, religious, neighbourhood, and marriage discrimination against transsexuals, and explores the medical needs of such people. It's something of a time capsule. Discussion of struggles faced by trans people. The narrator, and several of the professionals interviewed, pair judgement of transsexuals with genuine compassion for the struggle which gender dysphoric individuals face, which is quite a fascinating balance. "To be eligible for an operation, you must fulfil at least three conditions," the narrator explains, "You must crossdress, wear the clothes, and play the opposite sex for at least two years, get divorced if previously married, and convince specialist assessors during long and harrowing consultations that you really mean what you say." An unnamed practitioner. One of the doctors, while she provides now-outdated information about trans men being unable to have intercourse post-op, advocates for bottom surgery if it will allow trans men to feel more comfortable. She recommends that bottom surgeries be accessible through the health system. This same doctor notes with some sadness that transsexuals seeking medical care are often "sent straight into the local mental hospital, unfortunately". Referring to a trans woman named Judy Cousins, who transitioned at an older age, the doctor shows great affection, saying, "Certainly, Judy herself impresses me very much. She made a very late change of role. She has the three things that people need in this situation; she has courage, integrity, and a sense of humour." Steve. Steve, the only trans man interviewed by the filmmakers, briefly references unsafe chest binding and bottom surgery which he cannot afford, and recalls a lovely experience from his early transition. Speaking about his job as a technician, Steve says, "It was in that job that I changed over and started living full-time as a man, in the middle of the job. It was quite amusing. I basically left work and had a fortnight's holiday, and the first day I was away, it was explained to everybody else by my boss that Jackie was going to come back as Steven! And they had a fortnight in which to practice, "Hi, Steve!" And he collected me for work when I was coming back, because he knew damn well otherwise I'd be so frightened, I just simply wouldn't make it." Steve also talks about the first time he presented as a man in public. "When I first went out crossdressed... It was in the days when I'd been on the gay scene. I was a lesbian," Steve clarifies, "I explained to a lot of my lesbian friends that, really, I didn't fit in, and the truth of the matter is that I wanted to be a bloke. Some were quite hostile to it... But a few sort of said, well, you must do what you want to do, and they raided their own wardrobes for various bits of clothing from their old old butch days... I went out into Manchester wearing a jacket and a tie... I walked into this pub... up to the bar, and was about to drink my drink when I looked back, and there was a lady perusing me quite closely, who happened to be my mother, who'd gone out that evening with some friends! At which point, I left the drink and vanished up the back stairs." Steve laughs about this, but then his smile dims as he seriously explains, "I don't know how one could describe the feeing of absolute terror in oneself. It's a feeling that all transsexuals go through." All in all, I found the first part of this documentary to be a very valuable piece of history, though I wish more than one trans man had been included. Part Two: The second part of this documentary opens with a discussion of intersex babies. If you are intersex, and discussion about phallus size could distress you, proceed with caution. While neither the doctor nor the narrator advocate for medically unnecessary surgeries to "fix" atypical genitalia, genital variations are still judged to be abnormal and unfortunate, and these are precisely the mindsets which have caused so much pain to intersex people. Moving on, while the language the narrator uses is undoubtedly stigmatising of sex diversity, the point is successfully made that trans identification is not the same as being born with innate sex variations... which is an important difference to be aware of, even nowadays, when far too many LGBT+ individuals lack a basic understanding of the experiences, human rights, and struggles of intersex people. Learn more here. Following this, the narrator references new research in Germany, which apparently showed that transsexuals may have a "chemical imbalance," which might allow for "treatment without an operation". I have absolutely no idea what this is referring to. The documentary then discusses clinics where trans men and women can receive medical care, including hormonal and surgical treatments. In a further example of stigmatising diverse sex characteristics, an interviewer asks a doctor, "Does it ever worry you, as a surgeon, that you are creating something that is neither totally male nor totally female?" The surgeon replies, "No. The criteria is that you want a happier patient after surgery than you had before... I think, if you achieve that, that's about as much as you can ask." April Ashley. Another doctor offers a different view, suggesting that surgeries might not be best practice in the treatment of transsexuals. This view is supported by a trans woman named Elaine, who apparently ran an organisation called the Genetic Research Foundation, which investigated "other means to treat transsexuals". April Ashley, a well-known trans woman, criticises the medical establishment for being "indiscriminate" in approving trans surgeries, which she believed was motivated by a "tremendous thirst for medical knowledge".

Joe, a trans boy played by American trans actor Sasha Knight, is accompanied by his accepting father as he runs away from his transphobic mother. Cowboys Film 2020 United States of America Joe, a trans boy played by American trans actor Sasha Knight, is accompanied by his accepting father as he runs away from his transphobic mother. Trailer. Available Summary: A troubled but well-intentioned father who has recently separated from his wife runs off with his trans son into the Montana wilderness after his ex-wife's refusal to let their son live as his authentic self. -IMDb. Jack's Summary: This is a sweet coming-of-age film, featuring a young trans actor (Sasha Knight) in the role of a trans boy. It's wonderful, and a recommended watch for anyone who has felt disappointed by mainstream representations of trans maleness and transmasculinity during youth. I wish I had been able to watch this film growing up. I particularly loved the film’s depiction of a cis father who, despite being uneducated about trans people, is desperate to support his son, to the extent that he runs away with Joe when the boy insists on it. He also struggles to manage his bipolar disorder, which is an arc depicted with great sensitivity. You can read more about that here , where the author writes the following: In addition to being a compelling portrait of U.S. trans identity, Cowboys presents a rare and sympathetic depiction of bipolar I disorder. As someone familiar with bipolar, I’m often disappointed with how film and television harshly depict the ways their bipolar characters interact socially (I was particularly disturbed by the opening of Midsommar in this regard). Because of this, I’m always looking for media texts that offer a complex representation of the illness that isn’t used as a vehicle for shock or suspense. Because Cowboys advertises itself as a film about trans identity, I was not at all expecting it to cover bipolar with such depth and sensitivity. Even as the film illustrates some of the possible painful struggles of bipolar and the social repercussions they can cause, it never demonises the person as inherently bad or undeserving of love. This film has the best representation of bipolar I’ve ever seen, and I was very moved by the empathetic care Kerrigan put into her script and the excellent, soulful performance she helped craft with the performer who plays this role. Joe, the trans boy, is called a lesbophobic slur by a cis boy who harasses him for trying on boy's clothes in a store. Beyond that, there are no scenes of transphobic violence or assault. Joe's mother isn't accepting of her son, and her mindset is very realistic to how many real-life mothers treat their trans sons. One of my favourite scenes in this movie is when Joe simply watches his father, and other adult men, bowling together. He's spellbound and delighted by their masculinity. I adored seeing average-looking, average-bodied men being depicted as the object of a trans boy's fascination and gender euphoria, because I have felt that way too, and it's healthy to see normal bodies adored in an age of perfectly-sculpted celebrities and high standards. It felt like a celebration of typical men, finding the beauty in masculinity. I really cherished that scene. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026

The Whistle Documentary 2021 United States of America, Mexico StormMiguel Florez, a Xicane trans man, returns to his hometown to interview the lesbians who grew up in his community. Watch. Available Summary: A 45 year old Xicane trans man returns to his hometown, Albuquerque, New Mexico in search of the origin of a secret code he learned when he identified as a young dyke in the 1980s. The Whistle tells the story of a secret code created by and shared among young lesbians in 1970s & 80s Albuquerque, New Mexico as a means of self-identification and finding community. -Vimeo. Jack's Summary: This is an absolutely gorgeous documentary. I highly recommend watching it. I adore the solidarity between StormMiguel Florez, the trans male director and interviewee seen throughout the film, and older lesbian women. I love the fact that the women seem to completely accept his identity, happily sharing memories with him and acknowledging his trans male adulthood alongside his lesbian-identified youth. This documentary is a beautiful, touching example of LGBT+ solidarity. Photographs, yearbooks, stories, and nostalgia is shared among the interviewees as they recall their teenhoods. While there are discussions of bigotry, harassment, and anti-LGBT+ violence, this is an utterly beautiful and wholesome film that still left me feeling hopeful. Entry last updated: 25 Feb 2026

Trailer. Available Summary: Enraged by the world and hardened by grief, a cranky retiree plots his own demise, but is foiled when a lively young family bursts into his life. -Netflix. Note from Jack: Mack Bayda, a trans actor, plays a young trans man named Malcolm. After being kicked out of his home by his father, he is taken in by Otto (the protagonist, played by Tom Hanks). This movie that features a trans man as a side character, rather than trans experiences being the main plot. This film tackles themes including suicide, depression, and death, so you should proceed with caution. But it seems to be well-received by most viewers. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026

Available Summary: Meet Lewis, a trans man who lives in South Wales who was visiting Sparkle for the first time this year. -YouTube. Jack's Summary: This is a very sweet, short interview with a 54-year-old trans man named Lewis, who comes from South Wales. He talks about coming out at 16 as a gay woman, and having no opportunity to learn about any alternative identities due to living in a small community. He credits the series My Transsexual Summer for helping him realise who he is. Without it, he says, "I might not be here today." Referring to a trans male participant in that series, he says, "I can't thank him and the other people enough, for doing the program." Another profound confirmation that trans male representation matters, and that it's never too late to be your most authentic self. Entry last updated: 8 Feb 2026
