Different for Girls 

Year: 1996
Country: UK
Director: Richard Spence
Starring: Rupert Graves, Steven Mackintosh, Miriam Margolyes, Saskia Reeves, Charlotte Coleman
Synopsis: Childhood friends meet more than a decade after they last saw one another and one of them has had a sex change operation. Can love survive such a challenge?
Quick review: Nearly everyone is Karl's school is convinced he's gay, and even Karl suspects that might be the case. During a bad episode of teasing, Paul steps forward to try and rescue the boy from a group of bullies. It cements a young friendship. But soon, Karl has disappeared and we fast forward into the future. Paul is a delivery boy, just the most recent in a long line of meaningless jobs in his directionless life. Karl, on the other hand has become a successful greeting card writer. Oh, and he's become Kim. Turns out he wasn't gay, just a girl trapped inside a male body. The two bump into each other and after some initial discomfort at the dramatic change, decide to meet. Slowly, a friendship builds that might advance to romance, if Paul could ever forget that Kim was once his childhood male friend. The film has some subplots that distract from the main story. We get dragged into the family problems of Kim's sister. But overall, it's a different movie and tackles the subject matter with sensitivity. I suspect for many trans women who have seen few movies outside of drag queens touch on their lives, this would be a favorite and one they could relate to.
