    The new NBC show Emerald City, set in the land of Oz, features a transgender character.

    I was surprised, at least. Not every day you see a trans-masculine character on television.

    Thoughts? And also, I am curious to know if there are other good film representations of trans characters anyone knows of?

    It is somewhat surprising ( in a positive way) to see this kind of show featuring a trans character.
    I do hope that he's not just there to get "trans-bonus" , has actual character and portrays the topic well


    Besides the obviously famous ones I've only heard of "Romeos" ...it's about a gay trans guy falling in love with a cis person .....I've never seen it myself though....only heard that the writers researched the topic well...whatever you make of that...
    " itty bitty titty committee" also had a transguy but it's more about lesbians really...he's just a side character...

    The movie Boy Meets Girl. Actually cast a lovely pre-op young trans woman in the role. Also she had a full frontal scene towards the end, which hid absolutely nothing(and actually had a purpose).

    Never heard of this show, but growing up I was a massive Wizard of Oz fan (Not because of the movie).

    Tip isn't really trans to be fair, I don't know if they'll go off canon from the books in the show, but yeah.
