"The boy in a dress" was on UK TV BBC yesterday early evening. Aimed primarily at pre-teens and early teens, it was suitable for people of all ages.
A light-hearted tale of the adventures of a boy who loved wearing a dress, and got expelled for wearing one to school. I won't give away the ending as many will want to watch on catch up.
It really demonstrated there's nothing wrong in cross-dressing. Maybe, many children will feel far better about their desires - some may even do as the boy did. But inevitably, the minds of everyone who watched it will be slightly more open today.
If you didn't see it, it's well worth viewing on BBC Iplayer. Unfortunately, this is restricted by performing rights so many people in other countries won't be able to view it.

Totally Agree
This story was a breath of fresh air one of the best things on the TV over the festive season.
Great story and really good dialogue I would recommend watching if this is possible where you live.

As it was aimed at children
I'll forgive it, but otherwise I found it dire and clichéd. It seems humans are either good at football or can act, not do both. Little Britain for children.

When you need to get a message across...
...you need to use the right kind of language. The Guardian may be a worthy newspaper, but it doesn't communicate to the masses. This did, and it gave a message which needs to be stated over and over. Hopefully, we'll see other dire and cliched programmes giving the same message.
Or they could
just read Bike, that's dire and clichéd.

Dire AND cliched!
I think you should be heading to those nice people at the BBC with an everyday story of TG folk.
From what I read ...
... footballers are great actors - particularly when in the penalty area :)
