{{examples|Portrayals of trans people and trans issues in fiction include:}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In the manga adaption of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'', Yamazaki befriends a pre-op trans, and even gets a job to pay for her operation. Unfortunately, this charity offends her, and she ends the friendship.{{context}}<!--Why specifically would this charity offend her?-->
Line 99 ⟶ 98:
* The ''Highland Laddie'' arc of ''[[The Boys]]'' had a secondary character known as Big Bobby, first met in a pub wearing heels, a frock, makeup and a wig, the 6+ foot [[Big Guy]] self-identifies as a lesbian, although he was pre-op at the time. The storyline sees him emasculated by a fat psychotic lady with a pair of hedgeclippers. Bobby takes this in stride, and asks the doctors not to sew the severed genitalia back on, but to treat it as the first stage in gender-reassignment surgery. Played very sympathetically, with nary a Bridget joke in sight (initial surprise on the part of Wee Hughie, who hadn't seen Bobby for several years; Bobby is referred to by male pronouns, although not when present. There is one genital mutilation gag near the end, but one that is only slightly insensitive).
== Fan Works ==
* It will probably come as no surprise that ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fandom has spawned some well-written and insightful fanfics approaching the effects of Ranma's [[Gender Bender]] curse on his gender identity. One of the best examples of such would be ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5397947/1/Clothes-Make-The Clothes Make The...]'' by "Nightelf", "Ichinohei Hitomi" and Katrina Lee Halberd. Of the authors, "Nightelf" discovered (and accepted) their own gender dysphoria during the course of writing it.
* "Nightelf" later wrote a [[Self Insert Fic]] as part of the ''[https://shifti.org/wiki/Xanadu_%28setting%29 Xanadu Universe]'' [[Shared World]] project which explored some those issues. Entitled ''[https://shifti.org/wiki/Ami's_Song Ami's Song]'', it chronicled the unexpected transformation of Nightelf's [[Author Avatar]] into Mizuno Ami from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' during the Xanadu event; one subplot deals explicitly with his mental adjustments to what was essentially [[Wish Fulfillment]] for a young transgender man.
