Transgender in the Media - Books, TV and Films

As transsexualism is becoming increasingly understood, so is public awareness, largely helped by the interest from the media in terms of books, TV documentaries, reality shows and feature films. Have you seen something recently that has generated interest? Was it portrayed in a positive manner? Please let us know where you saw this, what your views are and how we can get to take a look ourselves!

The Transgender Explored team have recently been made aware of the following, via email from MTV. Here is the message with the link.

"I wanted to let you know about a Logo series with a transgendered star - Calpernia. It was basically like The Bachelor with a Trans star. It really opened a lot of doors in the Trans community and drew in a huge audience. Anyway, it's available now to rent on DVD and I was thinking that people on your site would probably be interested in it!"

It can be rented here: http://www.logoonline.com/netflix

Take a look and let us know what you think!

There is documentary on that website (the Logoonline one) about 3 transmen who reject the traditional female gender roles, its really cool. Think its called Gender Rebel. I strongly recommend it.
