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. Multimedia (but the character is manga exclusive)

  2. Shonen (I think)?

3.How I became a Pokemon Card - It’s a manga that’s all about exploring some of the context behind Pokemon in some of our favorite trading cards. It has an FTM trans character Akari.

  1. I’d put it as meh-good. Some good things is there’s no fetishization nor infantilization. But what makes it meh is that his trans identity is “revealed” to others when he has to wear a skirt in middle school. However, he’s still a likeable character and his whole thing is wanting to be a “cool” Pokemon trainer.
