No Ordinary Man (2020)

A really different and completely fresh approach to telling a trans history. This film basically interviews only trans people in order to tell the story of Billy Tipton – a trans man who lived a life in secret, married to a woman and fathering three kids. The filmmakers try to see the story in a new light through imaginative flights of fancy, some really brilliant commentary by Stephan Pennington, Riley Snorton, and other trans theorists, and a very charming set of interactions with Tipton’s loving son, Billy Jr.
