Live Poll: Here's to the "T" in LGBTQ (Complete)

List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls098982345/

Live Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/3VCxs6zDfKE/?ref_=po_ho

[Under Construction: If you notice anyone who is missing, please feel free to suggest another character. Thanks!]

Especially for Pride Month, which is celebrated every June in many countries across the globe, following is a list of some of the transgender, non-binary, and intersex* characters in TV and film. Who is your favorite?

* Intersex people are not transgendered (and the "I" in "LGBTQIA" stands for "Intersex") but since they are outside of a binary sexual identity and I know of only one intersex character in film and TV, I wanted to give credit to a compelling intersex character in a good movie ('XXY').

@mariojacobs​ Hi Mario, thanks for the comment. I haven't see The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a long time but my memory is that he is a "cross-dresser" but not transgender -- or at least not identified as so? I'll research this a bit, though. Thanks.

In your list of Pride polls, the link to 2019 Pride: Favorite LGBTQ Character From TV goes to the list, and not the poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/Z37Ox1GFVHY/

Here are some more polls, if you want to include them: 

Gay Couples on Television (Part 1)

Gay Couples on Television (Part 2)

Favorite Gay Male Couple in a Movie?

Popular LGBTQ+ Films

@Jessica​ Thanks, Jess, for catching that link to the "2019 Pride..." poll! And thank you for the four polls that weren't on my list. I've fixed the link and added the other polls. 

'What a very helpful post. : )

Since when does the "T" account for gender non-binary folks and hermaphrodites?

@jeorj_euler​ Although many non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender, under group labels like LGBTQ or LGBTQAI++, my understanding is that usually the identity is put under the "Trans" umbrella since it's different from cisgender. 

As far as including an intersex character, that's my mistake: I meant to include a note that indicated that intersex people are not transgendered (and the "I" in "LGBTQIA++" stands for "Intersex") but since there are so very few intersex characters in film and TV, I wanted to give credit to a compelling intersex character in a good movie. I'll add the note and request a re-push as soon as possible. Thanks for noticing the oversight so I can correct it.

I only recall ever seeing two movies about somebody having the intersex condition, and both of these are Agentine films: XXY and El último verano de la Boyita.

The youngest son in a traditional Pakistani family takes a job as a backup dancer in a Bollywood-style burlesque and quickly becomes infatuated with the strong-willed trans woman who runs the show.

I think you missed 'Calpernia Addams' portrayed by Lee Pace in "Soldier's Girl"

@Arbitare​ Technically, polls are maxed out at 35 options. Though I'm mildly confused that the list here (must have been edited after the poll went live) has 36 options.

You should ask @rubyfruit76 is she can make a part 2 for this poll. Or if she wouldn't mind if you try a hand at a sequel to the poll itself.
