Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Cross-dressing vs transgender

Cross-dressing and transgender aren't the same subject at all. This list should be clearer. -Branddobbe 02:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transvestite

I disagree that Dil in the Crying Game is a transvestite. Transvestism is usually the province of fetishistic biological males, but Dil clearly identifies as a woman. "Drag queen" might be more neutral, as she is manifestly so. Jiawen 06:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connie and Carla

I've removed Connie & Carla from the list, as I have never heard of it, it has no wikipage, and the editor whom added it offered no synopsis for the film. Furthermore, checking it's IMDB page reveals that the story is about two women who pretend to be drag queens. Since they are apparently cissexual women, and not transgendered...

I agree kind of, alot of the Films listed here are not about Transgender People. Like Rocky Horror, just because there is refrence to a place called "Transexual" none of the characters are; they're simply men dressed in womens clothings for kicks aka Transvestite.

[edit] Page move?

Shouldn't this be moved to "List of transgender people in film and television"? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 02:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

This article seems to be more than a list of only people though. The largest part of the article is simply films that feature transgender themes or people; some don't really have a well-defined person. My guess is that whoever created this article was going for something like a "<blahblahblah> in film and television", with the topic of "transgender". — Wwagner 04:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That may be what they were going for, but reading the first sentence make me think this should be moved to "List of transgender-related films" or "List of transgender-related films and TV shows". -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
