Movies where the thematic elements revolve around a group of people banding together against an oppressive force, but not really a chosen one style story. I have Braveheart in mind but I don't know if that really hits the same notes, because so much of it is also a love revenge story.

How the fuck can you write a story about people swapping bodies and genders like used condoms and be a terf?

Eclipse Phase draws heavily on Takeshi Kovacs. It differs in being explicitly pro-trans and directly discussing how transhumanism and specifically the ability to change bodies or drasticly re-work your existing body resulted in a great deal of gender liberation. But it's a horror setting, so the psychological shock of being sleeved in to a body that doesn't fit your self-identity, or for some people the experience of sleeving in a cybernetic or entirely machine body, can be extremely distressing with serious psychological consequences. It's the only game or sci-fi setting I've ever heard of where a standard combat action is doing time-accelerated therapy with your ai psychologist so you can cope with the horrific thing you just witnessed and get back in to the firefight instead of going in to shock.
Oof that sucks. I saw Altered Carbon on Netflix a long while ago and thought it was decent story; it's hard pressed to find media about revolutionary resistance to fascist regimes or dystopias. Resistance is always individualized against "bad actors" or finding coping mechanisms of living under despotic regimes in entertainment media.
(e:Netflix's Rebellion might be more of the revolutionary taste)
