Ma Vie en Rose is a sensitive portrayal of a six-year-old child who is gender variant. Two notable films depict transphobic violence based on real events: Soldier's Girl (about the relationship between Barry Winchell and Calpernia Addams, and his subsequent murder) and high heels Boys Don't Cry (about Brandon Teena's murder). Transsexuals have also been depicted in a more serious light high heels in some popular television shows. In Just Shoot Me, David Spade's character meets up with his childhood male friend, high heels who has gone MtF. After initially being frightened, he eventually becomes sexually attracted to his friend, but is scorned as he is 'not her type'. The series Law & Order and Nip/Tuck, have had transsexual characters, but they were played by non-transsexual women, or professional cross-dressers.
