Male-to-female transsexuals are commonly featured in pornography. When depicted without having undergone vaginoplasty, they are usually referred to as "shemales". While some pre-op transwomen call themselves and others like them "shemales," the term is regarded as offensive by many transsexuals.
Transsexualism is often presented in popular media as a joke. Films containing serious depictions of transgender issues include The World According to Garp and The Crying Game. The film Different for Girls is notable for a sensitive depiction of a male-to-female transsexual who meets up with, and forms a romantic relationship with, her once best friend from her all-male boarding school. 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 Boys Don't Cry (about Brandon Teena's murder).
Transsexuals have also been depicted in a more serious light in some popular television shows. In Just Shoot Me, David Spade's character meets up with his childhood male friend, 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. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation had an episode dealing with a transsexual victim, and they used transsexual actresses and extras for those parts including Marci Bowers and Calpernia Addams. Addams has appeared in numerous movies and television shows, including the 2005 comedy Transamerica.
