"Transgender Cinema gives readers the big picture of how trans people have been depicted
on screen. Beginning with a history of trans tropes in classic Hollywood cinema, from
comic drag scenes in Chaplin's The Masquerader to Garbo's androgynous Queen Christina,
and from psycho killer queers to The Rocky Horror Picture Show's outrageous queen,
it examines a plethora of trans portrayals that subsequently emerged from varied media
outlets, including documentary films, television serials, and world cinema. Along
the way, it analyzes milestones in trans representation, like The Crying Game, Boys
Don't Cry, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and A Fantastic Woman. As it traces the evolution
of trans people onscreen, Transgender Cinema also considers the ongoing controversies
sparked by these movies and series both within LGBTQ communities and beyond. Ultimately
it reveals how film and television have shaped not only how the general public sees
trans people, but also how trans people see themselves."
