Boys Don't Cry (1999)
Brandon Teena, ein junger Transsexueller, geboren als Teena Renae Brandon, ist äußerlich eine junge Frau. Seinem Geschlechts- und Körperempfinden als Mann folgend, kleidet er sich männlich, um die gefühlte Identität auszuleben. Unter männlichem Namen verlässt er seinen Heimatort, um in der US-amerikanischen Provinz ein neues Leben zu beginnen. In einem kleinen Ort freundet er sich mit einer jugendlichen Clique an, John, Tom, Candace, Kate und Lana. Bald darauf ist er in der Clique akzeptiert und verliebt sich in Lana.
