Are there any T.V. shows, movies, books, video games, mangas, animes (or anything else like that) that has a transgender/transsexual as the main character (or even as a supporting character?

Manga:

No Bra
Hourou Musuko
Prunus Girl

Off the top of my head, though anime might include Happiness! and others im forgetting.

Chrono Trigger for 1 crossdressing boss character.

Not sure of others atm, I'm trying to exclude crossdressing and random small things T_T

Movies:

Breakfast on Pluto (2005) - one of my favourites

these two are sad:
Boys Don't Cry (1999)
The Crying Game (1992)

RENT - if you're into musicals

There's also this cute web comic The Princess.

A while ago I came across Venus Envy. Dunno if it's still being updated.

American Virgin has a trans character.

TransGeneration. It's a documentary about 4 transitioning college students.

wasn't max on the l. word trans?

Homo Novus · 20th Dec 2011, 10:27 PM

Yeah, Max on the L Word is an FTM! (Friggin' loooove that show)

Ahem. Anyway, funny you should ask this, 'cause I was looking around at Indigo not long ago (book store) and stumbled upon this teen novel about a female-bodied male. I don't remember much about it, but it looked pretty good. I desperately tried to find it online just now, and all I managed to find was a new book called "Almost Perfect", which has gotten amazing reviews and won some kind of award. I don't think that's the one I was checking out at the book store, but I'd give it a try!

I'll pop back into the book store tomorrow if I can and have a look around for ya, 'cause this is gonna drive me crazy. Hahaha.

EDIT:

Here's "Almost Perfect" on Amazon:
