10 Best Transgender Movies You Can Stream Right Now

Although the volume of films about transgender and nonbinary characters is not nearly as vast or far-reaching as it should be in Hollywood 2022, there has been some progress in recent years. The more we amplify the films that positively and poignantly portray the trans experience, the more we can hope to see their quantity increase. And as anti-trans laws and threats against LGBTQ+ people intensify nationwide, it’s incredibly important that we celebrate the trans community and continue to share their stories.

With groundbreaking documentaries and emotional dramas in the mix, we’ve created a list of the best transgender movies that thoughtfully depict the feelings, hardships, and joy that encapsulates transitioning and the transgender experience. Of course, these films do not illustrate the lives of all trans people, and some are controversial in the sense that they feature cisgender actors playing transgender people. But they all tell absolutely crucial stories.

Here, find all the best transgender movies to stream on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and beyond.
