Trans Tribulations	comment	Transgender (or trans) and non-binary people face a lot of challenges in life. While a minority of the world is starting to understand and tolerate people with sexual/romantic leanings towards people of their own gender, many still scratch their heads at someone who doesn't identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. As a result, trans/non-binary characters in fiction tend to be miserable due to dealing with their own gender dysphoria and/or other people's misconceptions. Common themes include being forcibly outed to disastrous consequences, being referred to as the wrong pronoun (sometimes deliberately), having parents who Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child, being Mistaken for Gay (though some trans individuals certainly are gay, most people tend to think heterosexual trans individuals are confused gay people) or a crossdresser, and more often than not, Self-Harm, dying of suicide or being murdered due to being trans. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there are people who really like trans people but sexualize them to the point of dehumanization. Unfortunately, this is Truth in Television; however, starting from around the Turn of the Millennium, there have been slightly better attempts to deliver more uplifting narratives and more fully actualized characters. Trans Relationship Troubles is a sub-trope revolving around transgender characters having difficulty dating. See Gayngst and Bi-Wildered for the equivalent of this trope as applied to sexuality rather than gender, Intersex Tribulations for an intersex equivalent, and Gender Bender Angst for Gender Bender-related dysphoria. Often related to Forced Out of the Closet. Super-Trope of Out of the Closet, Into the Fire. Contrast Easy Sex Change, which is short on tribulations.

The band's next album, Shape Shift With Me, is more a theme album about love and sex as a trans woman, with some songs touching on themes of alienation from former partners, and insecurity about one's appearance.

She's thrilled to get a letter her parents sent and get a house from them too. Later she sings about how she's not a drag queen, and to please call her "ma'am" not "sir". When in the women's bathroom at the club, she's harassed and assaulted by a cis woman who gets outraged over her being there. She gets rescued by Maggie and Kim. Lila is later shocked to find out she's trans briefly, though she gets over it. Judy is later devastated to learn her parents got her the house not to reconcile, but to have her "go away". However, she's got close accepting friends and finds love with Frances in spite of her struggles.

The murderer was actually the random guy she flirted with to get into the party the Congressman was in, who more or less went from being mildly surprised that "she was a he" and noting how attractive she was rather than being upset to a full-on "I made the world a better place" pantomime villain after The Reveal. The Congressman also uses the "he's clearly sexually disturbed" argument when the CSIs are investigating him; they manage to compel a DNA sample and prove he was indeed a rapist.

Trans Tribulations / int_224c666d	comment	Equal: The hardships of trans and gender nonconforming people are shown in Transgender Pioneers. So-called "masquerade" laws dictated that people couldn't wear any clothing not associated traditionally with their assigned sex. Many trans and gender nonconforming people were arrested on charges of violating them, being harassed frequently as a result, while living as their gender through things such as marrying opened them to charges as well. Trans people were in danger of transphobic hate crimes as well if discovered, with murders included. Many had to keep their gender status a secret for fear of legal or extralegal consequences. Even laws that weren't aimed at gender nonconformity specifically got used this way such as one that prohibited traveling when disguised on public roads invoked to arrest trans people wearing clothing matching their gender. A few of the brave souls who defied this though are shown, paving the way for greater rights, including in a protest/riot that predated the infamous Stonewall uprising, but is far less known.

Mai, on the other hand, was able to have relatives who supported her in the form of her mother's side of the family: the Natsumes. Her birth father, however, was heavily abusive when he found out, going so far as to disown her. Said abuse factors heavily into her fears of coming out, not wanting to face the possibility of rejection.

But her estranged mother completely refuses to accept her as a woman, she has a very scary run-in with the medical establishment not treating her like a sane adult able to make her own decisions, and the trans-excluding radical feminist 'friends' of her girlfriend got pretty nasty towards her during a flashback scene.

Trans Tribulations / int_4522fd1	comment	In the Whateley Universe, the early main focus was on those characters who were gender-bent against their will — specifically, either via the Exemplar power-set, Gross Structural Dystrophy, or something even more esoteric, and who are (for the most part) learning to adapt. As the series has progressed, it's become clear that many mutants and, of course, normal folks, are still trans and don't have the benefit of an Avatar or Exemplar powerset to help things along. Some still take the mundane route, slow as the path may be. Others are desperate enough to go so far as a Deal with the Devil, either figuratively or literally, and those never turn out well. And more esoteric (and horrific) variants exist than even that. And that's to say nothing about how they're treated...

They're dressed in a Union Army uniform, so it's indicated to stem from having joined up while presenting as male but seen as a woman once found out, at a time when this wasn't allowed. Like the other patients, they have no hope of release anytime soon.

Not even his Childhood Friend knew he wasn't cis until he began middle school and his mother forced him to wear a skirt, and demanded he act more feminine and use "watashi" instead of "ore". Akari is given a Pikachu for his thirteenth birthday and is angry that he received a "cute" PokÃ©mon instead of a "cool" one. After seeing his Pikachu fight, he learns that the two aren't exclusive.

She's also partners with another woman (that would not help, of course), and her partner's suffering from cancer, so this might endanger her too as they get health insurance from Julia's work. At the end of the episode, when her boss (who is behind the plot she had helped Clarice look into) lets slip with her deadname, thus revealing he knows of her past, she's horrified, realizing he has a hold over her. She gently chastises Clarice for never speaking out to rebut the perception Buffalo Bill was trans as well (or worse, a killer because of it) since this harms them by false association with him (and they already suffer a lot of prejudice).

At least one episode deals with a transphobe who accosts Nia and her fellow transgender friend, and her sister, while shown at first to be accepting, eventually reveals herself to be transphobic upon finding out that it is Nia who inherited their family's precognitive powers (which only manifests in a girl once per generation) and not her. Nia is very pro-alien rights because she considers their struggles to gain acceptance on Earth to be similar to her own.

Even though she looked feminine, her father didn't let her have a red backpack (which all the girls had), which made her stand out from the other girls while her appearance made her shunned by the boys. She is in such despair over being unable to afford surgery to change her sex characteristics that she signs up for a Deadly Game in a last-ditch effort to pay for it. This trope is exploited by her killer. The participants in the game will die if they experience enough mental anguish, so her killer gives her a Traumatic Haircut while taunting her about her gender identity to cause her enough emotional pain for her to meet the threshold to die.

Something that contributes towards his suicide is a phone call he has with his psychologist, who tries to assure him by saying that he's a man who happened to have an imperfect body. Claude interprets this to mean that he'll never truly be a man because of the body he was born in.

Considering that Bridget is the former trope namer for Unsettling Gender-Reveal, it's a lot for her to take in. Goldlewis confides in Bridget that he followed a similar path: doing what someone else wanted, believing that things would somehow work out if there was no complaining, being proven wrong, and suffering in silence for it. Both Goldlewis and Ky urge Bridget to "take that hit" and that she should be who she feels on the inside. This finally prompts Bridget to say she's a girl during her Hard Mode story arc, and that she's not running away from who she is anymore.

Once he was adopted, his mother would always get into fights over him about his boyish behavior and explicit desire to be a man. It got to the point where she arranged a marriage for him, despite him not liking boys at the time. Tetsuo ended up killing his mom, faking his suicide, and running off as a man. Tetsuo notes that he can't get a girlfriend because they all get upset when he comes out to them. He eventually ends up the Official Couple with Taichi, who sees him as a man.

Her horrified boyfriend—who she'd just lost her virginity to—outright declared "You make me sick! You're a freak!"—and the modeling agency where she'd just gotten a contract nearly fired her. She was on the verge of suicide when her boyfriend talked her out of it, but she was still so humiliated and traumatized that she decided to leave town (the actress' poor performance and negative fan reaction killed the storyline), but her boyfriend decided to forgive her and make it work, this giving her a happy ending anyway.

Some examples: In "Camera Shy", Xan worries that she won't look feminine enough when a film crew comes to her workplace. In "Self, Self, Self", Xan realises how much she relies on validation from strangers due to her poor self-image and that due to having to wear a face mask during the pandemic, she'll be misgendered a lot more. There's a four-part story called "Dial D for Dysphoria" (parts 1 and 2, parts 3 and 4) where Xan recounts the various negative feelings she's had about being unable to understand gender dysphoria over the years.

Natani's gender identity has been the subject of intense debate over the years (the result of a mixture of the fantastical nature of soul merging, potentially unreliable early narrative, and evolving nuance towards gender identity among author and audience alike), but Natani can presently be described as being trans man suffering from dysphoria that was in part enabled from being mentally fused with a cisgender man, alongside still featuring female anatomy and a frustrating attraction to Keith. Presently following some extensive Character Development and a Relationship Upgrade with Keith, Natani has since found himself closer to peace with his fluid gender, settling on identifying himself as a guy with boobs.

Her father tried to calm her down by telling her it was natural and she had to accept she was growing up. Unfortunately, this only made her more frustrated because she was afraid she would grow up to look like her rather Gonkish father. This is, in fact, the cause of her early death; Lily was so horrified when she grew her first facial hair that, due to already being overworked and having to deal with a father/manager who seemed to care more for her as an actress than as a daughter, she experienced a fatal heart attack. As a zombie, she's happy that she doesn't have to worry about such things anymore.

Drew being outed accidentally to Jessie results in her mocking, deadnaming, and attempting to blackmail him. Thankfully, he has blackmail material on Jessie too. When the boy he likes, Blair, learns his secret, he rejects Drew at first. Later though both accept Drew. While it seemed his mom accepted him too, this was tragically averted as though she acknowledged he's a boy, his mom couldn't reconcile the fact he wasn't her daughter, leaving a note to say it's like she's now dead, and cutting off contact with him. At camp, he also hallucinates himself as a child taunting him that Drew can't hide his true self.

Both of Fang's parents are dismissive of their nonbinary identity, with their mother outright refusing to call them Fang, instead continuing to use their deadname. Naser insists to Fang that they're getting better, but Fang is unconvinced. In private conversations with Sage and Rosa, Fang also relates to their shared issues of how to "perform" as their gender and conflicting their gender with their family's culture. It isn't until the final video call before the last concert that Fang's mother refers to them as "Fang" in a tearful goodbye. Sage is a trans man who resented femininity growing up due to the pressure his parents put on him to perform the gender role. Once he transitioned, he found he could enjoy feminine things as his own choice, but this in turn made his parents dismissive about his transition. Rosa is a trans woman, and because of her family's cultural views of traditional gender norms, her parents had a hard time coming around to her transition. Even after they did, the rest of her family has not, leaving her disconnected from them.

White Chain presents as androgynous in their armour, their true form in the Void Between the Worlds looks like a human woman with wings and they claim to feel 'a little feminine' at times, something that the other angels (especially her extremely old and traditional master, 2 Michael) treat the way an intolerant family treats a trans person. It takes four books for White Chain to truly accept herself for who she truly is, and she spends a lot of time fighting both her brothers' prejudice and her own internalised idea of what an angel is supposed to be to get to that point.

A much nastier event was Rain's older sister being even more transphobic than Aiken ever was when confronted with the news, and cutting Rain's hair in her sleep when she spent a weekend at her place, in an attempt to "fix" her. Rain didn't take it kindly and disowned her.

One patient is a teenage trans boy, who wants to have top surgery (i.e. a double mastectomy), while his parents aren't on board with it (and since he's under eighteen, their consent's required). His parents do agree to have him be seen at a gender clinic about going on puberty blockers though by the end.

Trans Tribulations / int_de4c0209	comment	Wandering Son: ShÅ«ichi Nitori is a trans girl. She's always been feminine and could pass as a short-haired girl sometimes, however she didn't really start experimenting with her gender until she met Takatsuki in fifth grade. Early on, Nitori's family found it amusing when she dressed as a girl but eventually they noticed it wasn't a phase. Her sister Maho especially turned into a Big Sister Bully while her mother is confused and in denial. Nitori has to deal with the onset of puberty, puberty itself, and her wanting to be seen as a girl. At one point in middle school, she went to school in a Sailor Fuku and was promptly sent back home. She ended up being bullied for the rest of her time at the school. Her girlfriend Anna broke up with her due to the incident but eventually they got back together and by the end of high school, Anna mentions she's fine with being seen as a lesbian. In high school, Nitori has difficulty getting a job because she doesn't like working as a boy. She temporarily worked as a cafe both as a boy and a girl, but later quit and (illegally) got a job working as a waitress at a gay bar. With Yuki's (who owns a gay bar) guidance, Nitori ultimately decides to go to college and become a writer. Yoshino Takatsuki is introduced as a trans boy. They have to deal with everyone wanting them to be more feminine, their own confusion over their gender, and the onset of puberty. By high school, Takatsuki's confusion hits its peak. They ultimately decide to live as female, however Word of God is that they can be viewed as either cis or trans. Cool Big Sis Yuki Yoshida is a trans woman. In middle school, bullies forced her to wear the female uniform at school. This incident caused her to quit going to school and become a hikikomori. As a kid, her mother knew she had an interest in women's clothing however she refused to talk about it. Once Yuki came out as an adult, both of her parents became cold towards her. Makoto Ariga is a trans girl who always felt inadequate compared to Nitori. She considers herself a bland, freckle-faced dork with Nerd Glasses. Mako suffers from less physical dysphoria than Nitori, however, unlike Nitori she is attracted to men. Unluckily, every crush is straight and doesn't see her as a girl In high school Mako almost drops out when her crush Oka sees her in girl mode. He didn't even know it was her, however. Mako later comes out to her mother, who is supportive. Ebina is older than even Yuki and works as a Salary Man. She's recently been widowed and has a toddler-aged daughter. She wants to live as a woman but her situation and inability to pass causes her a lot of trouble.
