Other Text: Ed Wood (1994)
In this biographical film of the life of director Ed Wood, Johnny Depp plays the protagonist: a film-maker and transvestite. I thought this film would be really good because I really like all the other Burton/Depp films. I didn't really like this though- maybe I should watch it again. Still, it shows a slightly more serious depiction of transvestism in that it portrays the ridicule Wood endures, although it still uses elements of humour. Once again the masculine features are not concealed by the cross-dressing but seemingly emphasised. Depp has a moustache whilst wearing a blond wig and angora jumper.

You've got loads of work on your blog and a lot of detail has gone into your research of 'other texts'. There is loads of info of cross-dressing too.
