    Are there any T.V. shows, movies, books, video games, mangas, animes (or anything else like that) that has a transgender/transsexual as the main character (or even as a supporting character?

    Off the top of my head, though anime might include Happiness! and others im forgetting.

    Chrono Trigger for 1 crossdressing boss character.

    Not sure of others atm, I'm trying to exclude crossdressing and random small things T_T

    A while ago I came across Venus Envy. Dunno if it's still being updated.

    Yeah, Max on the L Word is an FTM! (Friggin' loooove that show)

    Ahem. Anyway, funny you should ask this, 'cause I was looking around at Indigo not long ago (book store) and stumbled upon this teen novel about a female-bodied male. I don't remember much about it, but it looked pretty good. I desperately tried to find it online just now, and all I managed to find was a new book called "Almost Perfect", which has gotten amazing reviews and won some kind of award. I don't think that's the one I was checking out at the book store, but I'd give it a try! :slight_smile: I'll pop back into the book store tomorrow if I can and have a look around for ya, 'cause this is gonna drive me crazy. Hahaha.

    EDIT:

    Here's "Almost Perfect" on Amazon:

    And here's a cool review of it:
