Hi everyone!
Wasn't sure how to title this, but basically since this is a group dedicated to trans/gnc people (and those who are questioning as well!) who also enjoy BL, I'd be curious to know if there are any BL characters you relate to, that you headcanon as trans, or think are trans-coded in some way or another. Or just what impact, if any, has BL had on your queer identity and journey ?

As a transmasc person, BL really did play a part in me starting to question my gender identity in the first place, and once I realized I was trans, it really did change my perspective on some characters and storylines. I don't think the vast majority of these were meant to be trans-coded in any way, but that's how they read to me, and I feel like I'm noticing it a lot more now.

This is probably a very obvious example, but (SPOILERS forDNA Says Love You!!!) Amber from DNA Says Love You is the most trans-coded character I've ever seen in a BL. It's been a while since I've re-watched it, so I don't exactly remember how they explain it away, but I think he is canonically intersex, right? Regardless, his story is SO trans-coded, I was convinced they would actually make him a trans man, but wasn't at all surprised when they didn't go through with it. Still, he's definitely the closest I've come to seeing a trans male character in a main role in a BL.
I really should give it a proper re-watch, since the last time I saw it, I still identified as cis, haha...If anyone else has watched this BL, I'd love to know your thoughts on it, especially when it comes to Amber!

So I was curious if anyone has had any similar experiences? I'd love to hear your guys' opinions on this :)
