This plz

Even if you badly want to demonstrate how much you ~lurve trans characters for brownie points, you could at least pick characters who are actually confirmed trans in their canons (who seem to get no love or attention anywhere, hmm i wonder why) instead of imposing trans identities on characters willy nilly.

characters who are actually confirmed trans in their canons (who seem to get no love or attention anywhere, hmm i wonder why)

Because almost all canon trans characters in fiction are horrible transphobic caricatures?

Also, being more cynical, because almost all canon trans characters in fiction are female, and fandom is only interested in pretty boys, especially if there's potential for angst. (Well-adjusted, post-transition trans men? Not so much.)

... Me liking the fanon of transdude Dave doesn't mean I don't like the trans and genderqueer folk in my other fandoms!

You know, all like... um... man I can think of like three or four that are unambiguously notcis. A couple more if I go for one-off victims of violent crimes who never actually appear on-screen alive, or gag characters that only appear once or in the background.

Maybe it's because I'm mostly in scifi, comic, game, and cartoon fandoms, though. Are trans characters more common in non-fantasy live action stuff?

look, anon. not that i don't agree with you that, in the case of fanon trans characters, it sometimes comes off as cis people desperately trying to show how accepting they are and all that, because i do! but...what canon trans characters? you mean the total caricatures that exist entirely to garner laughs from the majorly cis audience? the one-note jokes with no depth whatsoever, that are very definitely not intended to be interesting or likable, and have no characterization beyond "hahaha look they're transgender ISN'T THAT FUNNY"?

because seriously, i'm drawing a blank here. the only real exceptions would be probably be in series that center around being trans - hourou musuko, for instance. honestly, the main reason i like fanon trans characters is because canon trans characters, for the most part, don't exist in a way i can relate to. simple as that.

If I may make a reccomendation? There is a really fantastic possibly-not-cis character in HUGE, Alistair/Athena. A lot of his character arc is him trying to settle into not giving a damn about what people think of him and having a non-standard gender presentation, and while he's still discovering himself at the end of the (first and only) season, he's really absolutely wonderful.

(HUGE is wonderful all over the place, though. It's also the only show I've ever seen where a character came out as asexual, and the creator is kickass as hell (http://blog.twowholecakes.com/2010/09/this-is-why-your-tv-is-fat-q-a-with-savannah-dooley/) and the main character is an angry feminist teen and just. SO GOOD. <3 )

[retraux.livejournal.com]

oh, i've heard of that! sounds really good, actually. and i knew of transfic for that particular character (from checking the trans tag on ao3 from time to time - i read even for canons i don't know, lmao), but i didn't know they were actually possibly trans in-canon.

although, if it was cancelled, i'm guessing it's never going to get a legit release outside of america :/ shame. well, whatever. i'll just try to find somewhere to watch it that doesn't lock out non-americans.
