wholelottadicks:

• Charlie and Tom from Khaos Komix (webcomic)
• Wanda from Sandman (graphic novel)
• Kyisha Lynn from Shadow Eyes (webcomic, but published too i think?)
• many characters* in Hourou Musuko (manga)
• Kitten Braden from Breakfast on Pluto (film)
• Grace in Fragile (comic?)
• Adam from Degrassi (tv show)
• Grady from Parrotfish? (?)
• Okha from Bloodhound (?)
• Maho from Double House (manga)
• Sgt. Aoi Futaba from You’re Under Arrest (manga)

if you would like to help expand this list or have any recommendations please leave me a message or reblog or something

*description from jamieofsealand:

Shuichi Nitori, the main, a young transwoman
Yoshino Takatsuki the other main, a young transman, the same age as nitori
Makoto Ariga young transwoman
Chizuru Sarashina crossdressing, genderfluid girl
Hiroyuki Yoshida

I have heard awful things about Parrotfish… (Parrotfish and Bloodhound are both books)

If being played by an actor of a different gender than the character takes someone off the list (as I saw you said with Adam from Degrassi) then Kitten should be off too as she’s played by Cillian Murphy.

Another book example which I can’t believe I forgot, I was just talking about it this afternoon: Jackrum, from Monstrous Regiment.

I’ve heard Wanda was pretty bad, actually.  I don’t remember exactly why or even where I read that, but I know I have heard trans women raise issue with that portrayal.
