Trans anime characters are more prominent than people might realize, between recurring characters in popular anime who have their own compelling arcs and shows that portray thoughtful and insightful explorations of gender. In the spirit of Transgender Awareness Month, we’re taking a look at some of the positive representation of trans people in our favorite anime. All in all, we bring a spotlight to trans culture in all shapes and forms throughout the month of November. During this time, we take a moment to mourn trans lives past and present who were lost to violence and oppression, but we also celebrate the amazing strides that we continue to make around the world. As we come to the end of Transgender Awareness Month, there’s a lot to account for within the community.
