Here’s a Mega folder with a handful of junk for you trans girls to watch

https://mega.nz/folder/g14TWJaL#u5hER7DzOJbdJbAR0mhtBQ

///TGIRL FEATURE FILMS (alphabetical order)

Adam (2019) it's about a cis boy who's mistaken for a trans boy and rolls with it. Big cast of trans characters including a tgirl played by a tgirl who everyone wants to fuck. Directed by a trans dude. Highly legit. If you're still hung up on pre release speculation based on the novel then you're the most annoying person alive.

Assassination Nation (2018) The first half is Euphoria and the second half is The Purge. ONE OF THE BEST TGIRL MOVIES OF ALL TIME.

Bit (2019) Lesbian girl power vampire movie where the main character is a tgirl played by a tgirl. It's solid. I find it frustrating that they hint at her being trans without explicitly acknowledging it (and she's passing as fuck, so it's easy to not notice), but I know that's what some of y'all want.

Boy Meets Girl (2014) Cis dude for trans girl love story. Pretty normie, but also you see her fully naked (gock out) at the end.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Extremely 60s. Cool as hell.

Lady Daddy (2010) South Korean romcom about a trans girl played by a cis girl who tries unconvincingly to back pass when she finds out she has a kid. Very cute.

Lingua Franca (2019) written directed and starring Isabel Sandoval. An undocumented trans woman immigrant in New York deals with a cis dude partner being a cis dude. Which is also the plot of The Garden Left Behind (2019).

Myra Breckinridge (1970) Raquel Welch is a trans woman and her goal is the destruction of the last vestigial traces of traditional manhood! It's Fight Club! It's Hackers! It's divisive, but it's probably my favorite movie!

So Pretty (2019) Literally the first scripted feature length (non pornographic tho it does have cock) film to feature two trans women played by trans women kissing eachother.

Something Must Break (2014) THE OTHER BEST TGIRL MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Drugs. Crimes. Gock. Slow motion pissing. Slow motion park Fucking. Genuinely the most beautiful sex scene I've seen in any movie. And she makes it to the end still alive and more sure of herself and at peace than ever.

Tangerine (2015) Groundbreaking and also a bunch of the secondary characters are real life pornstars (which I think is neat).

The Garden Left Behind (2019) This and Lingua Franca (2019) really are tgirl twin films, but (like with Antz and A Bug’s Life) the vibes and details make them distinct (I assume tho tbh I’ve never watched Antz).

///TGIRL DOCUMENTARIES

Bambi (2013) about a trans girl showgirl in 50s/60s paris

Paris is Burning (1990) basically it's Pose.

Shinjuku Boys (1995) Trans dudes working in a tokyo club that caters to tboy chasing cis girls. There's at least one trans girl in the mix too.

///FORCED FEMINIZATION

A Reflection of Fear (1972) They raised her as a girl and it made her do murders! It drags in places, but the girl in it is so ethereal and it has ageplay vibes and daddy issues.

Memory Run (1996) A very fun direct to video scifi action flick about fighting fascism by blowing up your pre transition self with a rocket launcher + it's based on a novel written by a trans woman.

She-Man A Story of Fixation (1967) Notable for being such a cliche sissy maid fantasy while also coming out so early + it was Bob Clark's first film lol.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) A more famous version of Reflection of Fear.

Surrender Dorothy (1998) A MUST WATCH. I personally bought a physical DVD and made an ISO of it for you because I was unsatisfied with the quality of the only copy that seemed to exist online. I ALSO PERSONALLY CREATED MY OWN SUBTITLES FOR IT BECAUSE EVEN THE DVD DIDN’T INCLUDE ANY! WHICH TOOK HOURS TO DO!

The Skin I Live In (2011) A rapist is kidnapped and turned into a girl by a mournful vengeful plastic surgeon. Which was also the plot of Victim (2010). I never really vibe with Pedro Almodóvar movies, but I recognize this is the preeminent forced feminization film.

///SHORT FILMS

Gender Troublemakers (1993) Some 90s Toronto trans girls fucking and discoursing. Explicit tgirl on tgirl action. This is the only one on the list that I haven’t actually watched yet. I’m hyped to watch it tho. Seems mindblowingly rad af.

Happy Birthday Marsha (2018) It's about Marsha P. Johnson.

I don't Know (1971) I'm obsessed with the trans girl in this one she just keeps popping up in all kinds of early 70s stuff. Directed by Penelope Spheeris (who is the sister of the cis gf in it).

Mesmeralda (2019) AN ABSOLUTE BANGER HOLY FUCK THE VIBES ARE OFF THE CHARTS! PLS WATCH THIS! I refuse to apologize for it being 15GB or to re encode it. It’s worth every byte and I want to ensure that this full quality copy doesn’t disappear off of the internet.

Pat Rocco's Changes (1970) It's that same girl again!

Queens at Heart (1967) I can't get over that hairdresser girl thinking she's back passing. Most adorably weak boymode ever.

Shangri-La (2021) Another Isabel Sandoval joint.

The Yellow Wallpaper (2021) Freshly post op girl with a supportive boyfriend goes unhinged.

Undress Me (2012) Jana Bringlöv Ekspong did a few short films. Give janabringlove a google after watching this.

///JUST LIKE BTW

Some of these would be tough to find elsewhere, but most of the movies are also watchable on fmovies and/or can be torrented in higher quality.

After you've worked your way through the folder then just start doing Google searches for trans films. Look at IMDB keywords and letterboxd lists. There are so many more out there. These are just like my personal picks.

to be honest, as a queer person living in a developing theocratic country, I have trouble relating to queer films that take place in the 21st century first world I find myself relating more to the ones that take place in the early to mid 20th century

I mean, I wouldn't be the person I'm today if it wasn't for "kill your darlings" and "breakfast on pluto"

Rightly so.

Don't sell your own film short, lads. It's a lovely film.

-People have compared Emerald Fennell's SALTBURN to CALL ME BY YOUR NAME and THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, so we're leaving it to Andrew Scott to close this gap with the upcoming (and long-awaited) limited series RIPLEY where Scott plays Tom Ripley, Johnny Flynn plays Dickie Greenleaf and Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood.

Serious post real quick. I just finished watching Nimona and holy fucking shit. I have never felt so.. seen in any media like that before. Yeah I've had a fair share of nonbinary characters in video games but they never touched on the EXPERIENCE of it like Nimona did. Everything they talked about going through, everything they described, and everyone being against them. All of that I have experienced before as a nonbinary individual. I am so fucking over joyed to finally have a lead character who is nonbinary to show the way it FEELS. That movie hit me so deep in my fucking soul that I sobbed. Over and over. Because it touched on something I have NEVER seen anyone else do. Finally having someone like me up front is just so.. liberating and beautiful. This is WHY representation matters in media.

Edit: thank you for the notes and reblogs, you guys are so fuckin sweet. I’m glad others can agree with what I’ve described.

(And since this is blowing up I’ll add this here too)

Hey! I also do artwork and draw some cool things so if you’d like to, feel free to follow me! I draw lots of things ranging from fandoms to original character content! :)

#wolfie speaks #text post #nimona #no spoilers #safe post #spoiler free #nonbinary #queer films #idk what else to tag this with this movie just made me really emotional #this fuckin movie hit me in my core #I don't think I will ever experience something like this again

Hollywood doesn’t make lesbian films cause they know real life lesbian relationships are dramatic (affectionate) like a fuckin movie and they’re scared they can’t top (heh) that

picturesQue -> A Queer Film Artbook Launch!!!

I'm so excited to announce the launch of my 2nd Art Book 'picturesQue': a collection of 19 full colour artworks done from 2021 to 2023 and dedicated to some of my favourite queer films!

I've been working on this for a while now, and since February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, I thought this would be the perfect time to finally put it out into the world!

The title is a play on the archaic term for films (moving pictures), the artworks themselves being pictures, and the capitalised Q is because, well, it's queer lol... (look I spent several days trying to think of something and this was the best I could do lol...)

Most pieces in this book are ones I've shared online before in pride months gone by, but there are 5 additional artworks that I made for this book (and that I won't be officially sharing until June!)

This is a hardback A5 sized book by the way (since I realised my first softcover book got battered pretty quickly, so I wanted to opt for something for substantial for this one!) & the front cover is my piece based on But I'm A Cheerleader!

If you're into queer cinema, or you just wanna support me and my art, then feel free to check out the link below and get 'picturesQue' for yourself! <3

(no pressure to get it of course, but please consider sharing this cos we know how tumblr likes to hide posts with links in them lol...)

#queer films #queer art #art book #artists on tumblr #digital art #queer cinema #lgbt+ history month #film art #movie art #lgbtq+ films #queer #lgbtq+ #i'm really nervous about launching this cos it's taken up so much of my brain power over the last 6 months or so lol...

badhaai do & filmfare and how it affects the queer movement

badhaai do won 6 filmfare awards!! and apart from that, 14 nominations. this is such a welcome surprise to me considering how much the filmfare panders to popular films and celebrities. while i'm convinced that best actor in a supporting role was robbed from gulshan devaiah (who played guru) as well as best dialogues + best director, let's not dwell on that negativity. the war to get same-sex marriage is still on. and i'd like to thank the team for dedicating their awards to the queer community. for those who have been complaining yet again that this was a profitable venture for the people involved, think again about how much it tanked in the box office. and yes, bhumi pednekar has addressed the on-going legal battle for same sex marriage here. i would ask for jaded queer individuals like me to step back and think that there are different ways of coming together to support a social cause. making an entire film is one of them. green lighting such a film is one of them. acting in such a film is one of them. considering what the extremely homophobic government is capable of, we must take all such things into account. and when queer icons like onir also come out in support of badhaai do (btw his red carpet look on filmfare >>>), we should take a page from their book to see where they are coming from. also i went and checked out the team behind badhaai do (not just the actors). apparently the director (harshavardhan kulkarni) and the editor (kirti nakhwa) are already in hot soup with the government since they returned a NATIONAL AWARD a few years back. their reason? the growing intolerance of the government. kinda iconic. and a reminder that this is the same government that routinely sends journalists, activists, historians to jail while dabbling in the same fields and falsifying facts and history. (lmao calling our trauma an "urban elite" problem is so ironic considering they are the urban elites). badhaai do getting the second highest number of filmfare awards is one of the many victories that we have secured. please remind yourself to not alienate any sort of support whatsoever just because it doesn't fit the stereotypical narrative of activism. and after all, activism in art is the most powerful of its kind, is it not?

Daniel Kwan posted this image to his Instagram today with some beautiful words talking about working with Michelle Yeoh. This image is so pure. I love this movie with my whole heart.

little kind warm queer films of my to watch then you want to have a little rest

Pure

cute video with random slice of life moments, calm music, calm visual. no plot, no words, only calm vibes

LoveLoveLove

another calm slice of life anthology, but this time it's mini stories of tender moments of 4 queer couple and one polycula. no words too (i actually rarely use words in my films) it is pride-month special film

Romance Daydreaming Collection

a little bit different thing, but it worth mentioning - collection of soundtracks for daydreaming about specific (romantic and queer, of course) scenarios. a hints with what each track about is in the tittles, in visuals of the video, and, the music itself has narrative, but instead of lyrics it uses sounds only (instruments and samples)

and the final star of the post - Heart Wish

it is also film with happy ending, with queer characters and without words but it is a little different from another ones - it has plot (not anthology), and the beginning is sad, but it has very cute happy finale

so, if you sad, you can try to watch these things. hope it will make you cheer up a little in your sad days

#queer films #queer films with good ending #good ending #happy ending #also on halloween i have a little animated gay surprise #4 days left! it will be soon here
