Heads-up again that this forum will probably be closed like the other one. Scratch Team considers LGBT+ (on the forums, anyway) to be a controversial topic likely to induce a lot of flaming and the link with media most likely isn't going to save it.

That being said, I'm really happy that this was even an idea for someone to talk about at all. I'd love it if we had a studio for this actually.

Firstly, I think if we keep ourselves civil and serious, mods won't have much of a problem with this. Secondly, if this topic does get axed, I totally second the idea of having a studio.

Why is it so hard for us westerners to write trans characters like they're, I dunno, actual trans people? Discuss.

IDK if that was meant as a rhetorical question, but my safe guess is that it's cis writers passing on any readily available feedback from the trans community on how they want to be represented in favour of quick brownie points for a nice publicity boost (or laughs, depending on how vapid the writer's humour is).
I find the specificity of Western media interesting though; are there any Eastern countries with TV shows/movies/etc. that portray trans people positively? Not an accusation, just curious.

The main reason I veered toward bringing up western media is because I feel the culture and characterizations depicted in it is more relevant to me and the culture I live in, not due to an extensive knowledge of eastern media with good trans representation. However, I know a few solely by virtue of friends telling me about them.
There's a character named Felix in an action/adventure anime series called Re:Zero, who is made canonically trans in a plus-canon novel. It's only mentioned briefly, but throughout the book she insists upon using female pronouns and changes her name to Ferris. I've been told by friends that her characterization is very accurate to the trans experience, while still allowing her to have other traits.
Additionally, the currently running idol anime Zombie Land Saga features a girl named Lily in the main cast. Although the series is a comedy, Lily's process of coming out and her identity aren't played for laughs. Her character isn't too impacted by being trans, however, as the comedy (thankfully) veers away from that.
All of this might not be 100% accurate, as it's only word-of-mouth from my trans friends. If any weebs in the audience want to correct me, please do. I'd rather be educated than incorrect.
