OP

[(Anonymous)]

Then please, show me all these awesome webcomics with trans men as the main characters! (And isn't "trans 101" please, I'm tired of reading the same trans 101 crap, give me trans male princes and

I mean it, seriously. I honestly don't give a shit ultimately where the thing comes from, even if I feel there's a particular dearth of them in Japanese media.

But here's the thing. Even though he's annoyingly fetishized at times for his pre-hormone body, Tetsuo is the main character in his story. He's explicitly trans. He's explicitly bisexual.

The male character who gets a crush on him and spends a lot of the manga playing a "doth protest too much" about being bisexual (he claims he's not attracted to men) eventually has to admit he fell for Tetsuo because Tetsuo is a man.

There is a huge lack of these sorts of stories. EVERYWHERE. But especially within Japan.

Also, lol there is heaps of trans female and trans feminine representation in Japanese media compared to trans men. So that's not an excuse. If you want to bring up Japan's misogyny which affects trans men uniquely in our portrayals ("oh you're just afraid of men, that's why you wanna BE ONE", "you just need some hot cis dick to remember it's okay to be a feminine layyydeeee" etc etc) I'd give you a point, but acting like Japan doesn't have a bit of a thing for gender bending portayals and transgenderism--as long as it's AMAB, is ridiculous.

My sentence cut off. It was supposed to read:

"Give me trans male princes and cyborgs and detectives and superheroes and basically anything but 'hi, I'm yet another Average Trans Guy, here to tell you about Average Trans Male Things'. I want what anybody else wants when they want to see representation in their escapism."

Uh, I hate to burst your bubble, but most people don't like/give a shit about trans people, that's why the only stories with trans characters are stories revolving around their transition. No one wants to read about a trans detective doing detective things or a trans superheroes saving the world. Your kind are only good for stories about their abnormality (no offense here).

Look at homosexuals. Most people don't mind them, that's why we have stories about lesbians saving the world, gay skaters doing skating things or lesbian women surviving in the Zombie Apocalypse. But with trans folks? It ain't gonna happen.

Wow, it's almost as if transgenderism isn't the exact same western-centric issue in every culture in the world.

OP

Except your comment makes very little sense, because as a first world country with emerging transgender rights Japan has an awful lot of similarity with the Western worldview, it's about 10 years behind sure, but it's pretty comparable.

Gee golly gosh!
