Media

Here are a few books, films and other media that have representations of trans people.  Unless otherwise stated, the portrayals are thought to be accurate (In the case of MtFs, I apologize for any inaccurate assessment, and will alter the posting if you suggest.)

The list of films is small, not because I don't know of many trans-related films and books, but because I don't know of many that are not exploitation or just plain bad stereotype reinforcers.

Films

"Boys Don't Cry" - Film about Brandon Teena, FtM who was raped then murdered.  This film is not a happy bit of work.

"The Crying Game"  - Film about a member of the IRA (Irish organization involved in anti-British activity, and normally considered to be terrorist) trying to leave the organization.  He falls in love with a transgendered woman, but does not realize that she is transgendered.

Books

"Sacred Country" - Rose Tremaine

"Transgender Rights" - A collection of essays about trans people and their rights

"Queers in Court" - A somewhat mindnumbing book to read all the way through, this straightforward book details a great number of courses involving queers and queer rights.  If you want to really understand the marriage debate and why it is important, read this.
