“[reputation] starts with the noise and how that all makes you feel and how it makes you feel when people say things about you that aren’t true and living your life in, sort of, defiance of that, in defiance of your reputation. and then, sort of in the middle of the album, you kind of realize, ‘okay, how much do I really value that?’“

///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.

I added The Garden Left Behind (2019) and The Skin I Live In (2011). Both of which were mentioned in a previous version of the post, but not included.

I also added Gender Troublemakers (1993) to the shorts folder because it looks amazing holy fuck!

I was gonna add a couple other movies, but I didn’t get around to it. Maybe another time.

Most importantly tho! Surrender Dorothy (1998) has gotten a huge update! I MADE SUBTITLES FOR IT! It was never professionally subtitled (the DVD didn’t even have subtitles), so I made my own! I’ve never done that before! It was extremely time consuming!

Next time around I might go through and add subtitles for the rest of the movies. There are several movies that like don’t have subtitle files even though professional subtitles do exist and can be easily pirated.

We can acknowledge that parts of it were poorly worded, and even rewrite it to fix that, without throwing out the whole concept of making powerful weapons hard to get.

Said it before and will say it again, but--no, gun control will never stop people with cruel intent from obtaining and using guns, including particularly powerful ones.

The idea, as I see it, is to put roadblocks in the way of the people who flirt with such intent, so that proportionately more of the people who end up with powerful weapons are people who don't have such intent and really are just a handful of weird guys with interesting hobbies geeking out.

A 2019 DiMaggio et al. study looked at mass shooting data for 1981 to 2017 and found that mass-shooting fatalities were 70% less likely to occur during the 1994 to 2004 federal ban period.

Multi-year averages help mitigate the impact of outlier years (Like 1999, for example) and make the broader trend more noticeable.

Here, I have highlighted the years the ban was in effect. The 10 years we had the ban had fewer individual events, fewer fatalities, and fewer injuries compared to the 10 years previous to the ban and 10 years after the ban. And way way way fewer than the 10 years after that.

The escalation of these events in both frequency and severity from 2014 to today should feel shocking. It is MAY 11TH and 2023 is now tied in number of events with the WORST year during the FAWB. If it feels like these events are happening way way more than they used to- you aren't imagining it.

And like, I know correlation vs causation is a thing. But I have yet to see another proposed explanation for why 1994 to 2003 saw such unusually low numbers compared to both the preceeding and following decades. (Maybe it was the beanie babies. Maybe the beanie babies just made everyone chill out)

There is some evidence that it was FAWBs prohibition of high capacity magazines that was most impactful, rather than the prohibition against specific models of firearms, and it is worth noting that a majority of mass shooting events involve handguns- but those events tend to be less deadly than the ones using semi-automatic rifles. (Which is why the difference in ban and non-ban years is more dramatic for deaths than events.)

Over 70% of firearms used in mass shootings are obtained legally, and frankly, the idea that there is nothing legislation can do to mitigate or reduce these events is pure NRA propaganda and misinformation.

Everything’s growing in our garden, you don’t have to know that it’s haunted
