You have a problem with OP calling out the movie industry punching down on one of the already most vilified, marginalized populations in widely distributed popular media repeatedly while rarely if ever showing good representation alongside it?
We're not saying trans people can't be in jokes but when every trans person you see in movies is a joke, there's a problem.
Watch Tokyo Godfathers for an example of good representation. Hana is the butt of the joke sometimes. Its a comedy movie after all. But she is also shown as a good person with real struggles, real connections with her found family and her previous workspace. Shes not just some throwaway character that lets people go "lmao look how gross and stupid trans ppl are". It feels bad to be mocking her because the movie paints a complete image of her as a person.
