Nimona is great LGBT representation, with a queer coded main character and an actual gay relationship. I don’t know that its specifically transgender representation, but definitely worth the watch!
Technically not transgender representation since Nimona is a shape-shifting enby creature from the outset and not someone who was assigned a gender at birth and later transitioned away from it, but she does shapeshift into a little beggar boy in one scene so I think it still counts. =3
I consider non-binary identities raised with an enforced binary socialization like myself have every reason to identify as trans. That’s not explicitly displayed in Nimona, but I can confirm that I felt represented and had an incredibly emotional reaction to the film.
Also: there is at least one trans pride flag colors not-so-hidden in the movie. 🏳️⚧️
I haven’t watched it yet… But I heard Nimona is really good! I believe it was written by someone who is nonbinary ❤️

Fair point. I think I was attributing Nimonas ability to shape shift as an allegory to transition or a gender fluid identity.
Again, I haven’t watched it yet but I think that was part of the writers purpose of creating Nimona as a way to explore his fluidity.
So no, not directly a trans character but a good message behind it I think :)

It’s SO GOOD!!! and free on YouTube currently (or was last I checked)
Unfortunately it’s not, but it’s still on Netflix or torrenting
That’s disappointing but I’m glad I watched it while it was there
