Koi Boi

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)[reply]

Ok. Do you have a reliable source to show that is the case? Historyday01 (talk) 20:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

sakura ōgami?

maybe add Sakura Ōgami from Danganronpa (Trigger Happy Havoc)?

I'm not particularly familiar with the source material but as far as I can tell she's just an extremely muscular cis woman? --Pokelova (talk) 09:06, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scaramouche?

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)[reply]
