The aim of the present study is to analyse the media representation of gender dysphoria in trans* people in two popular films – The Danish Girl and Girl . Specifically, we focus on the role of genitalia in media representation of the trans* experience through the lens of phallocentrism. In the case of Lili and Lara, the trans* female protagonists of the chosen films, their trans* experience is, as we argue, reduced to their relationship towards their genitalia. Consequently, such a portrayal fully corresponds to the prevailing paradigm of transnormativity in media representation of trans* people
