    I can imagine this strikes a chord with many. Correct me if I’m wrong here, as I’m eager to learn, but I’m under the impression most trans people just want to be who they feel like they are and then just enjoy life.

    Like… for a trans woman, the trans part becomes unimportant, but the woman part remains the whole point

      I’m talking about media, not just in fiction.

      Trans folks are all different people that learn their bodies don’t match their gender.

      I like reading media that characters and story do not tell you are trans, but they are written in such a way, that you can identify with their trans-journey/struggles. Or Show, don’t tell.

      The two characters I sampled are exemplary characters where the work shows you they are trans, without blatantly telling you they are.

        I’ve never watched any of those, so I can’t actually attest to any of those, but I’m curious to know how it shows that they’re trans characters without stating it blatantly?

        I assume one is from Yu-Gi-Oh, and the other from Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura?

          Yu-Gi-Oh, and […] Card Captor Sakura

          I want you to read/watch the manga/animé first, then reread/watch them with the lense that
