I'm a bit behind in the recommendations that my friends have given me, but I just finished
Transamerica (2005).
I was pleased to see that the main protagonist, a transititioning Male-to-Female, was portrayed by a female actress (instead of a male actor). I don't watch Desperate Housewives (or anything, really, with any regularity), but I thought that Felicity Huffman did well in the role.
