The unprecedented growth of trans characters on TV and in movies this decade means that there have been more opportunities than ever to showcase what relationships look like for trans people, and the different ways gender identity and sexuality play in these characters' love lives. On Netflix's reboot of the beloved Tales of the City franchise, we watch the romantic development of Jake (García) as he grows away from his girlfriend (Margot Hong) — whom he was in a lesbian relationship with before his transition — and discovers his attraction to men. Flaco (Juan Castano) becomes Jake's first gay experience, and the scene where Jake discloses his identity highlights the pitfalls that many trans people face in relationships, where transness is often a disqualifying factor for many cis people regardless of sexuality. Flaco embraces Jake for all that he is and later tells him "it feels incredible to be desired by you," which is just one of the many ways that Tales of the City beautifully portrays a healthy, loving queer relationship.
