So this spawned from a discussion in the tracha matrix chat. We're trying to come up with a list of any anime/manga that has trans representation, whether that's good, bad, or meh. Here are the rules of what to include:

  1. Format (anime, manga, or both)
  2. Genre
  3. Title and brief description of the plot, major trans characters, and how well they are represented as trans.
  4. A simple rating of good, bad, or meh. This is so people can find good ones or avoid ones that are bad/problematic representations.

Hopefully these requirements make sense, but let me know if I should make any adjustments here.

  1. Manga
  2. Autobiographical
  3. The Bride Was a Boy - This is a true life story about the author's journey to transitioning, from childhood to getting happily married. It covers a lot of issues trans people face and has informative sections covering topics that may be new to some readers, like explaining what LGBT means, what gender dysphoria is, and how Japan's marriage and family laws hurt trans people. It focuses a little bit on Japan specifically of course, but the majority of it concerns things that could apply just as well in a lot of other places. Overall, it's a pretty great intro guide to trans issues (though focuses primarily on the transfem side) and would be perfect for someone who is questioning, or even friends/family of someone who is trans and know little about the topic. It's also extremely cute.
  4. Rating: GOOD
