Nontraditional Gender Representation in Film

Description
For many years, popular media depictions of individuals of “nontraditional” gender appearance or identity were typically played for comedic effect. But 1999’s Boys Don’t Cry was a landmark film in its portrayal of the real-life story of Brandon Teena—played by Hilary Swank—a transgendered man who was brutally victimized by a hate crime in Nebraska.
