Disclaimer: For many of the historical examples listed (particularly those who fought as soldiers), it can be difficult to determine whether they were truly men with (what we would now call) transsexualism, or whether they were women intentionally disguising themselves for career, adventure, or romance. Please conduct your own further research if you want to know more about any individual listed here.

Call Me Malcom (2004) FtM Transgender Minister
A documentary feature about a [female-to-male] transgender seminary student, and his struggle with love, faith, and gender identity.
From the Synopsis:
Eventually, Malcolm, while still under the name Miriam, ended up at seminary. Initially he enrolled to see if he could reconcile the conflict between his heart and the things being
taught in his home church.
Much to his surprise, Malcolm found his greatest support in his new Christian community at Iliff Theological Seminary and began the process of gender transition. The first—and in some ways biggest—of these steps was taking on his new name and repeatedly saying
to people, "From now on, call me Malcolm."
As the film begins, so does Malcolm's final year of seminary. It is a time filled with great concern and apprehension.
Before the school term begins, he steps away from his safe environment and sets out on a road trip. He travels across the country visiting with many people along the way, each of whom have a different perspective on the issues of identity, faith, and love.

Paradigm shift; assertiveness, happiness
New found sense of happiness through confidence and self-affirmation. Finding that inner peace despite confronting outside chaos. Because we all experience the world differently, I do not intend to make this seem easy; nothing worth having comes easy. I hope you all gain some positive from this, it saddens me to watch trans people suffer.

Southern Comfort (1999) - In Memory of (FtM) Robert Eads
"The heart wrenching story of a man dying of ovarian cancer in Georgia and the Dr.'s who wouldn't treat him, won top honors at the Sundance Film Festival for best documentary.
The film traces the final year in the life of Robert Eads, an unfailingly good-humored 52-year-old female-to-male transsexual from the back hills of Georgia. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer after having lived as a man for many years, Eads was refused treatment by more than two dozen doctors, who feared his presence in their offices would embarrass and offend other patients.
