* The French/Belgian movie [[wikipedia:Ma vie en rose|Ma vie en rose]] ("[[My Life in Pink]]") is a very tasteful presentation of a young trans woman and her dilemmas. A possibly FtM youngster appears near the end of the movie as well.
* Noxeema from ''[[To Wong Fu Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar|To Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar]]'' gives Chi-Chi a rundown of genderqueer types, doubling as a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].<ref>Noxeema's speech is obviously one person's oversimplified and subjective take. As the trope description above suggests, one could write an entire book just attempting to accurately define even ''one'' of these terms.</ref>
{{quote|'''Noxeema''': When a straight man puts on a dress to get his [[Fetish Fuel|sexual kicks]], he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has the little operation, he is a trans man. When a gay man has waaay too much fashion sense for one gender, he is a [[Drag Queen]]. And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress.}}
* The main character in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film ''In a Year of 13 Moons'' is a male homosexual who gets a sex change to be more appealing to his lover. Somewhat subverted as the character did not consider himself a woman pre-surgery. This and the fact that {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays|he kills himself at the end]]}} has earned it the ire of critics who say it paints trans people in an [[Did Not Do the Research|inaccurate]] and [[Unfortunate Implications|unfavorable]] light.
* ''Open'', an independent film by Jake Yuzna showed a positive same-gender relationship between a gay male pair: one cisgender, one transgender. Possibly no feature-length fiction film had shown such a relationship before.
