i can only think of three canon and important transmasc characters: one of whom is ignored in his transmasculinity by a large part of the fandom despite his cousin being a trans woman from the same genderless origin and being accepted by the fandom or he's headcanoned as female all because of his gender nonconformity and isn't present in the ending scene on the cliff even though he should have been (mettaton), one of whom is almost outed by the host and has to deal with a lot of bullshit and is almost killed twice (aiden from disventure camp), and one of whom is otis from barnyard which is a wild fuckin place to find transmasc rep (his transition is confirmed in a scene where another character said she remembered watching the night sky with his sister, but then after otis reminded her he has no sister, she remembers that "oh yeah, that was you".)

What eats at me even more is how little scholarship there is on the lack of representation. You can buy entire books of media analysis written about and by trans women, but I’ve noticed a reluctance in the trans male community to even acknowledge how and why we’ve been done so dirty.

I think that just speaks to how relatively invisible trans men are. We just get viewed as butch lesbians by the larger LGBT community so our perspectives immediately are dismissed, from what I've seen. + might be infighting with the usual internet "trans women have it worse no matter what" thing that's all over Tumblr/Reddit.

Another thing I've noticed that what little transmasc representation is almost exclusively teens/children...amd hmmm don't like that it feels infantilisating like "yeah you can have rep but all will subtly enforce that transmascs are all immature/children" also very little visibly POC (even though 98% of pale anime characters are Japanese to ignorant people they don't read as Japanese) crying in transneutral black adult 😢

Most trans characters in general are the most wafer-thin, conventionally attractive white people. I can relate to none of those experiences.

i really enjoy seeing trans male characters in tv and movies so over the years ive seen almost every series with any transmasc character and my favorites have definitely been cole and aaron from the fosters trevor from shameless Buck from the OA Oberon from the end Raúl from wandel and wild joe from cowboys (2020) theres way more i can mention but these are the ones where the media is good and the character is written well and have decent screen time

i agree with the 2% gingers in the world point as someone who's genuinely actually met like at least twice as many transmascs irl than i've met gingers irl (i'm not making this up)

theres a trans boy in a movie called "a man called otto", from my memory it was really good and stuck a huge cord with me cuz i was in the closet at the time... id reccommend the movie to anyone whose not suicidal, cuz spoilers but the mc, otto tries to commit suicide and fails several times throuhout the story. thats the premise. also theres a trans guy in seasons 4+ of the dragon prince ((terry)) hes a great character and carries season 4 of the dragon prince so hard ngl... watch the dragon prince, its really good !!! not only for the trans character but in general ((besides s4 😭 what happened)) um but yeah you made so many good points !!! i wish we had more rep. im a writer and im planning on making one of my major character ((Mc's brother)) a trans man :) hes the fourth most major character in the story ((first three most important being the tritagonists))

I can name only one trans male character in fiction off the top of my head, and it's a character who wasn't even trans or a man in the original material. Sad.

Miles morales is my headcanon bc there's no "right" way to be spider-man, you just say you are and thats the cost of entry. I also say Camillo from Encanto, not just because he can transform-trope but because of the sarapa that he wears to cover his chest. Raul from Wendell & Wild is canonically trans too, but of course theres a lot of "struggle" writing in it, in that the audience doesn't know that he's trans unless hes being bullied or deadnamed. Bow from Princess of power I think is an honorable mention lol Another user mentioned, not a lot of adults, I can't think of any off the top of my head

its also an obscure comic i guess but there's an ongoing manga "villain" based on the song of the same name by teniwoha (i recommend the song btw... lyrics are pretty trans vibes but its also just a good song.) and one of the 2 main characters seems to be transmasc. like, explicitly. it's still very early on so we're not really sure how they identify, currently it seems they might be non-binary. anyway it was really cool to see for me especially because its so rare.. its sad that theres like almost nothing about transmascs
