5. Freak Show (2017)

Director: Trudie Styler | Stars: Alex Lawther, Ian Nelson, AnnaSophia Robb, Celia Weston

No where near as great as the rest of the films in this list, but this movie about a transgender kid (a teenage transvestite who loves to dress up in glamorous women's clothing, like his over-dramatic mother) and his close friendship with his SBF (Straight Best Friend), is a pretty good movie about acceptance.
7/10 !!!!
