HEY YOU!

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Do you like reading books? Or watching movies?

Do you like media about trans men/transmasculine characters but don't know where to find it?

That's sooo crazy because I have this little spreadsheet I'm working on where I'm trying to document all media with protagonists/major characters who are FTM or transmasculine.

The spreadsheet currently has 400+ entries spread across the following categories:

Books

Manga

Memoirs and non-fiction

Movies

TV Shows

Graphic novels / Comics

Webcomics

Audio dramas

Books and movies are also sorted by:

Which character is trans (MC, love interest, antagonist, etc)

If the trans character is POC

The trans character's sexuality (Because I saw lots of transhet guys sad about only being able to find gay romances)

If the author/actor is also trans (if we know for sure)

It's free to use, and free to add to as well! Editing permissions are on, and I check on the spreadsheet every now and then to make sure everything is in order and to clean up.

If you know something that isn't on the list, please add it! You don't have to fill in every single column, but fill it to the best of your abilities.

If you don't want to use the big ass long link below, you can also use: bit.ly/FTM-protags

I made this because I want it to be a community resource. So even if you're not a trans guy or transmasculine person, please reblog!

GENDER TROUBLEMAKERS (1993) dir. Mirha-Soleil Ross & Xanthra Mackay What happens when two Transdykes get sick of non-transsexual's uninformed representation of their sexualities and their lives? They grab their 8 millimeter home video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other trans women.

We have to be really clear on the fact that the rigidity that we face in present times, from relationship to gender, is a modern construct that comes very much from the colonial forces primarily through religion. That rigidity reflects more so that colonial imprint than it does any historical accuracy, because historically many indigenous cultures left room for much more than the binary.

-Saul Williams, director of Rwandan sci-fi musical Neptune Frost

We had such a wonderful and illuminating time this week watching and talking about the Afro-futurist movie Neptune Frost, which explores the journey of genderqueer Neptune and coltan miner Matalusa, and their blossoming relationships amongst a Rwandan hacker commune.

If you're keen to watch more sci-fi, or more African cinema, I'd definitely recommend it. We were able to get it free on Kanopy through our local library!

Check out our podcast on the film if you'd like to hear some more in-depth background on its creation.

Nimona said here’s this little girl who just wants to be herself in every form, who just wants to belong. Here’s her giving an apple to her only friend, nervous and desperate for acceptance. Here’s her friend accepting her up until peer pressure changes her mind. Here’s this small little girl, who just wanted to be herself and have someone love her and accept her as she is, in every form she is, seeing the one person whom she thought was ok and accepting turn on her, rejecting her. Here’s this bitter girl who’s whole experience has been rejection, has been villainized by people because she is different because she is herself. Here’s an institution that focuses on differences and how bad and monstrous they can be, that instills hate and fear into the citizens it swears to protect and yet will tear them down to get to whatever it wants to destroy. Here is someone who grew up in this institution, was molded by it and then turned away, villainized by the people he swore to protect, the people he loved. Here are these two people who are so different, who come from different backgrounds, have different motives, and yet they are the same, but not quite. Here are two similar individuals but one is not quite a monster, one does not have to chose between being themself or fitting in.

Nimona is so many things but it is a trans story through and through. It is so unapologetically queer, so unapologetically trans, so very important especially for today’s society. I’m so happy to see this iteration get the love it deserves <3

SEAHORSE (2019) dir. Jeanie Finlay Freddy is a 30-years-old gay transgender man who yearns to start a family, but for him this ordinary desire comes with unique challenges. Deciding to carry his own baby took years of soul searching, but nothing could prepare him for the reality of pregnancy, as both a physical experience and one that challenges society's fundamental understanding of gender, parenthood and family.

Rewatching "I Saw the TV Glow" and then immediately after, "Nimona".

It's a trans allegory kinda night.

 “...we tell the story of this character assigned male at birth, the transformation, and all of this. And she [actor Kaya Free's mother] goes, "Oh, that old story, that's a Burundian folk tale. Kaya, don't you remember, we've always told this story. This is an old story.""

-Director Saul Williams, speaking about his experiences with the Burundian community on the set of queer Afrofuturist film Neptune Frost.

Check out our podcast if you'd like to learn more about the film.
