Both are characters who have to decide if they want to be who they want to be or who they are.
Hello fellow closet resident! Umm… I have been watching a lot of Americas top model because I like to learn beauty stuff and practice poses that are more feminine.
I saw the TV Glow is my recommendation.
YES THIS!! I just introduced some friends to it the other night. Sparked a lot of feelings!
For me, there wasn't much available in the vein of live action media that I found to be affirming. I didn't care for RuPaul before hearing about his less than ideal thoughts of our community, so there isn't much.
I would say though, there is so much trans-esq/directly trans storylines to be found among Anime of all genres. I also found the dark(er) than real life focus that is most media of today to be a real negative part of my content. Once I stopped consuming dark fictional content, combined with limiting my video-based news, I found that I had sooooo much more room to both examine/appreciate/dream about a positive future for myself, especially my tolerance to withstand dysphoria.
One anime I really found myself relating to almost all of the characters in some aspect, including the very clearl gender-rebel or sorts, was Netflix's The Seven Deadly Sins (the show). If you like fun fantasy with the right amount of camp and silly tropes, Its a great watch.
Latest doctor who season gave me life. Start from 2023's holiday special with David Tenant. Some good commentary on overcoming decades (for them, centuries) of trauma and has some darn decent representation without feeling awkward while doing it. Yes, there's a fairly significant MTF character who's actually MTF in real life Yasmin Finney. I think what helps me, is everything is far more about happy endings and acceptance while not denying prior history by sweeping it under the rug. Healing, in my opinion.
Not explicitly a trans story, but “The Free People’s Village” is a book that gave me a lot of hope in the end. It is often way to real and parallels waves events scarily well, but the story is one of persistence.
Do you know Margaret Killjoy? She is a brilliant author, podcaster, musician... probably even more things I don't know about yet. I can highly recommend her book "The sapling cage".
