The life and death of jazz musician Billy Tipton was immortalized in Suits Me, a scandalizing tell-all by Diane Wood Middlebrook that describes Billy as a woman who tricked “her” family and fans into believing “she” was a man. 
 
The 2020 genre-defying documentary No Ordinary Man seeks to correct that misrepresentation with transgender artists collectively celebrating Tipton’s story as a musician living his life according to his own terms, painting a portrait of a trans culture icon. 
 
No Ordinary Man: The Billy Tipton Documentary will be shown at the Main Library on Monday, November 24, at 6:00pm. The film has a running time of 1 hour and 24 minutes and features leading voices and breakout stars in the trans community, including Marquise Vilsón, Amos Mac, Scott Turner Schofield, Susan Stryker, and C. Riley Snorton.
