Koi Boi is a canonically trans superhero from The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and should be added to the list 70.19.50.150 ( talk) 19:35, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
maybe add Sakura Ōgami from Danganronpa (Trigger Happy Havoc)?

I would argue that Scaramouche from the game "Genshin Impact" should be included. He is intentionally written to imply he is Female to Male, though the word "transgender" is never brought up due to the publishing location of the game and their laws. The game tells you he was created by a female goddess to act as her vessel, but was tossed aside for being overemotional. The vessel we see her use during the events of the game is female, and idenitical to her goddess form, implying he must have been created as female as well; this is especially bolstered by the fact he was created (subconciously or conciously) to imitate the goddesses deceased sister, through narrative and design implication. Many of his accessories and various clothing items we see in both animated flash backs and in-game are historically female japanese costuming. It is also stated he was "changed" in some way by a mad scientist character, "Dottore", of which we are never exactly told what underwent (besides various 'power' video game lore jargon). Another character in his written backstory says the words, "you are neither man, nor mechanism." when speaking about his nature as a puppet, which can also be read as a double entendre. Another quote from the same/related text reads: "In Inazuma's traditional theater, there is a certain character known as "Kunikuzushi." Such characters are often schemers and usurpers of nations. At the end of his wanderings, he chose this name as an act of his own will. And as for the name he had once used, even he no longer remembered it."
Personally, I believe that he is at least a transgender allegory, and at most a clear representation of a trans male/genderqueer character in a censored video game. What do you guys think? 73.36.127.156 ( talk) 00:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
I would argue that Raine from The Owl House should be included, being non-binary. 204.209.74.247 ( talk) 18:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
There's also Nocturne from Baldurs Gate 3 who is a trans woman and voiced by Abigail Thorne 147.147.25.65 ( talk) 07:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Thorn voiced Nocturne, a secondary character in the video game Baldur's Gate 3. [1] The role included motion capture. Sarah Guinevere Smit of Rock Paper Shotgun lauded Nocturne's transgender identity, characterisation and diary entries. [2] The Mary Sue's Madeline Carpou described the character as "an incredibly sweet, lovely presence". [3]
Hello! I was wondering if it was possible to add Arashi Narukami from Ensemble Stars! on this list? Extensively, throughout the source material, Arashi has various discussions regarding her gender identity in monologues or with other characters. I believe the Beasts story is to be the most popular example of this. Please scroll to 'Center of the World 7'. A character describes Arashi to "be a woman on the inside" here and notes how Arashi has a "lady-like tone", which is a descriptor that is consistently used to describe her way of speaking. There is a problem, however, in the fact that the offical translation and localization team for the English version of Ensemble Stars! uses he/him pronouns on Arashi. Though majority of the fandom uses she/her for Arashi and perceives her as a trans woman, the offical English version presents Arashi as a cis man with feminine traits. There has been a push, multiple pushes actually, to change Arashi's (and even another character's!) pronouns to she/her but it has not seen a successful change. The only reason why I'm saying this is because I don't know if it interferes with her eligibility to be on this list, despite the popular fandom belief that she is a trans woman. Anyways, I am happily able to divulge any more information or source materials if neccessary. Thank you! Matessave ( talk) 21:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
