Lesbian/bi/transgendered content
2 books by Malinda Lo, "Ash" and "Huntress" are retellings of traditional fairy tales, with an Asian bent to them.
Sarah Waters "Tipping the Velvet", both book and miniseries, show strong representations of lesbian protagonist, as well as being a darned well written story.
"Tomboy" is a great movie about, well, a tomboy...There are actually other movies and books out there that have positive representations of young women who are just coming out, or who are thinking of themselves as different in some way.... Not every lesbian book or movie involves crime/murder/treachery, etc, although it seems like it often enough...
