Finding good depictions of trans folk on tv is suuuuper hard, but y’all know that. I recently came across this finalist for TVNZ funding, and have been catching up on Orange is the New Black. I was really sad about both Dick (for obvious reasons) and Sophia Burset in OITNB being so removed from the show in the last few seasons. So those were the inspirations for this comic.
I also binge watched the Switch though, well worth watching for some farcical hijinks with lots and lots of trans characters.
PS If you can guess the movies/tv shows referenced in the panels you get a cookie. The 3rd panel isn’t really from any media though, i just couldn’t be bothered trying to choose through the myriad of trans killers in real media.
OH! And it’s my birthday this month, and I’m a bit strapped for cash this week so I’m having a birthday sale – 33% off for my 33rd birthday (and more if you’re a supporter on patreon) if you wanna get me a present, then buy something from my site:
Or… you can always just donate if you’re feeling generous:
Sense8 (written by the Wachowskis, two trans women) has a lovely trans character, Nomi Marks, played by an actual trans woman, Jamie Clayton.
It’s a super great show with a diverse cast in general (There’s a German! They’re name dropping my hometown of Wuppertal! I’m fucking delighted).
was just coming here to recommend this!
I gotta catch up! I really liked season one, but it’s so intense I had to give myself a break before the xmas specials and season 2
Have you seen “The Fosters”? It has a couple of transmasculine characters in later seasons.
