#and/or lgbt+ media

[adorawasright]

i hate media that is like

piece of media: abuse is bad!

same piece of media: anyway you end up with your abuser/bully because they didn't actually mean to abuse you, also they had a spectacular (/lie) redemption arc so they deserve to be happy too!

HEY YOU!

Yeah, you! Are you trans? Do you like reading books? Or watching movies?

Do you like media about trans men/transmasculine characters but don't know where to find it?

That's sooo crazy because I have this little spreadsheet I'm working on where I'm trying to document all media with protagonists/major characters who are FTM or transmasculine.

The spreadsheet currently has 400+ entries spread across the following categories:

Books

Manga

Memoirs and non-fiction

Movies

TV Shows

Graphic novels / Comics

Webcomics

Audio dramas

Books and movies are also sorted by:

Which character is trans (MC, love interest, antagonist, etc)

If the trans character is POC

The trans character's sexuality (Because I saw lots of transhet guys sad about only being able to find gay romances)

If the author/actor is also trans (if we know for sure)

It's free to use, and free to add to as well! Editing permissions are on, and I check on the spreadsheet every now and then to make sure everything is in order and to clean up.

If you know something that isn't on the list, please add it! You don't have to fill in every single column, but fill it to the best of your abilities.

If you don't want to use the big ass long link below, you can also use: bit.ly/FTM-protags

I made this because I want it to be a community resource. So even if you're not a trans guy or transmasculine person, please reblog!

I actually don’t mind straight actors playing gay roles. What I do mind is them playing gay roles BADLY.

enemies to lovers? and they were teammates - and roommates? men’s sports have nothing on women’s sports

and this particular guy... cry harder (imagine if women's sports had the funding, visibility and accessibility men's sports are gifted):

@degenerate-mystery-inc-whore and I watch a lot of shows together. She’s learned much from recognizing patterns in my taste in media.

Every time Entrapta showed up in the intro of She-Ra, I literally screamed “THERE’S MY BABY!”

When we reached the Marcy episodes of Amphibia I began to vibrate so hard that I shook the couch and the nearby table.

I sang along to all the Lapis songs in Steven Universe.

I have said (repeatedly) that Luz is the biggest mood I’ve ever seen in a character. The Owl House is essential for understanding me as a person.
