Documentaries on transgender people.

I'm a pretty active member in PFLAG and a few other equality based organizations.  In most of these organizations, I am the only trans person there.  Often I feel left out because the main topic of discussion is gay or lesbian issues.  I have stayed for two reasons. 1 is they are very accepting and supportive. 2 is to slowly educate them on what it's like to be trans and to educate them on how things can be different for people like us. I have really opened the eyes of many, but have much work ahead of me with the rest of them.  As I sit in a meeting this Saturday watching another documentary on gay youth......I was thinking the whole time how nice it would be to watch a documentary on trans people and the troubles they face.  Does anyone out there know of any good ones?  I've added a few books to our library already, but I don't know that many people in the group check them out.  But will also take suggestions for those too. So far I have found that just being an active part of these people's lives and letting them watch me grow and deal with my own issues has been the best way of educating them, but at least for once I would like for us to watch a movie that sheds some light on what it's like to grow up trans.

This is a letter I just wrote to my mom. I did borrow some parts of a letter that was posted in the community transletters but a few small ones. I don't know if this is well written or not or how to sign it and I wonder should I write that I want her to discuss it with me when she's ready and idk. I want to come out soon to the public.
