Why do 'feminist' yuri fans include trannies in their yuri essays? It's a mystery.
>Yuri is a growing genre, increasingly depicting more and more varied stories about sapphic love. As yuri continues to get queerer, the existence of trans people in these stories would be one way to provide validation for trans readers in their gender and sexuality while also helping cis people understand and internalize our long standing place in the sapphic community. >Trans people are rooted in the sapphic community and have been a core part of it for as long as it could be called a community. >Trans women lesbians, non-binary lesbians, and trans men have all had their places in the wider sapphic community.>While the representation of sapphic trans women is gradually increasing in some English-language media, such as streaming series like Sense8 or teen novels like The Summer Love Strategy, trans people do not exist in most yuri works. >Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (2004) is the classic gender-changing yuri, in which a “guy” gets magically turned into a girl and ends up in a sapphic love triangle with the girl “he” has long been in love with and an old childhood friend.>Trans people who haven’t magically transitioned do exist inside of yuri. While magical transitions can offer a fantasy, it is also good to see stories about trans characters more grounded in real life. Maybe my favorite piece of trans rep in yuri is from an anthology called Mermaid Line (2008) and the story called “Ayumi and Aika.” It’s short, but the trans woman is the object of a cis women’s desire in this story, which is fairly rare. A trans girl, Aika, breaks up with her cis girlfriend, Ayumi, after coming out as trans, thinking that was best for her. When coming to pick up her stuff months later from Ayumi’s apartment, Aika admits she is a lesbian and Ayumi and Aika get together. https://www.animefeminist.com/lilies-in-transition-the-state-of-trans-representation-in-yuri/ No. 2270495
