'''''[http://www.venusenvycomic.com/ Venus Envy]''''' is a [[TranssexualismTransgender|transgender-centered]] webcomic which is notable for portraying the subject matter more realistically than most, rather than taking the [[Transformation Comic]] route.
 
It originally started as a simple gag comic about transsexualitytransgenderism, but the nameless lead character soon developed into the comic's heroine, Zoe (neé Alex) Carter. The story itself is a [[Teen Drama|Teen]] [[Dramedy]] that centers around Zoe's life as a girl in her new town, where no one (with a couple of exceptions) knows that she was Alexander Carter just a few months ago.
 
Unfortunately, it succumbed to [[Orphaned Series]] syndrome, with no updates over a year after a cliffhanger. (Someone did get in touch with the author -- she is fine: recently married and too busy in real life to work on the webcomic.) ''[[Trans Girl Diaries]]'' did a fan followup (essentually a webcomic [[Doujinshi]]), [http://transgirldiaries.com/?p=2193 here], which mimicked the style of the original comic and was well received by the VE fandom.
Line 47:
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]
* [[Groin Attack]]
* [[Irony]]: Nina thinks [[TranssexualismTransgender|Zoe]] is [http://www.venusenvycomic.com/index.php?id=911 the perfect girl.]
** Also, the poster in the last panel of [http://www.venusenvycomic.com/index.php?id=10 this strip.]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Richie, Eric, and Larson.
Line 81:
* [[The Atoner]]: Eric
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Averted and played straight -- Zoe's new town doesn't have a specialist in her type of therapy, but her old therapist does come to visit. In addition, it's shown early in the comic that Zoe's parents kept taking her to different therapists trying to find one that ''wouldn't'' suggest Zoe visit a specialist in Gender Dysphoria (aka Transgenderism). One even suggested ''they'' get therapy to try and get over their problem with this.
* [[TranssexualismTransgender]]: Zoe (MTF) and Larson (FTM). Lisa initially assumes that Chris is as well (and even goes on a date with him), but [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|realises]] that he's just a [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdresser]].
* [[Tsundere]]: Lisa, Larson
* [[Unmoving Pattern]]{{context}}
