Transamerica didn't have any trans people involved in making it (and it shows) and by many it's not considered to be either a realistic or positive representation of trans women.

yeah....bet yer right... knew a pre-op trans in SF that was waaay kookier....after the op though, made a way better lookin' girl than a guy-

i didn't realise movies had a responsibility to be either realistic or positive, but i take your point.

It's not about responsibility - I'd also question the validity of a film that was about being left handed but had been written, produced, directed and acted entirely by right handed people - but then I suppose if mainly right handed people watched that film then the stereotypes that would inevitably be presented would go unquestioned and be believed to be true to life and a fair representation of left handed peoples lives.

i actually agree with you, but while transamerica may not be accurate or fair, i still think it's a good movie.
