I think that there really aren’t a whole lot of shows that portray trans characters I can only remember one from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
I wish there were more good trans characters shown in TV and in movies

Yeah, enby people count as trans! Yael was an important character for me because they were one of the first enby characters I’ve seen who binds.

Aww and that canadian representation
But I found it really interesting to have them as a character, they helped me learn and empathize with enbys a lot more.
