I haven't watched it yet... But I heard Nimona is really good! I believe it was written by someone who is nonbinary ❤️

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

It's SO GOOD!!! and free on YouTube currently (or was last I checked)

Nimona is great LGBT representation, with a queer coded main character and an actual gay relationship. I don't know that its specifically transgender representation, but definitely worth the watch!

[–] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 10 months ago

Technically not transgender representation since Nimona is a shape-shifting enby creature from the outset and not someone who was assigned a gender at birth and later transitioned away from it, but she does shapeshift into a little beggar boy in one scene so I think it still counts. =3

The original Alien - 1979

Lambert, played by Veronica Cartwright, is trans.

They don't mention it, or make a big deal out of it, but it's in the background bios of the crew in Aliens - 1986.

this is so rad. thanks for making one of my favorite movies even better

Doom Patrol has several episodes that feature a sentient, genderfluid street that teleports around and acts as a Brigadoon-esque haven for LGBTQ folks who are outcast from polite society, so that's a fun thing.

The sex-ghosts episode is also a trip lol

Hell the whole show is. The phrase "disembodied ChumbaWumba" will never leave my brain

I really enjoyed Sense8 (Nomi) before it was cancelled. 😒

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Watched it before my egg cracked. Completely forgot how hard I related with Nomi.

Was also seriously bummed when it got canceled because I felt like they were just getting into their stride!

My Life As A Teenage Robot. People believe the main character relates to a lot of transgender folks, along with the creator of the show supporting the idea and happy that there are people who relate to the main character.

Haven't watched it but my friend's really into Umbrella Academy. In season three Elliot Page's character transitions to male and I've heard it was handled well.
