A "tomboy" tries to join the Jets but is treated like a girl all the time. This character is not officially trans male but his dealing with misgendering is close to what can happen to trans folks

Spoiler*
Tony (the lead) is shot and killed at the end of the movie, plus many scenes contain careless handling of a gun.
