Gender Identity in Anime

A candid discussion of crossdressing storylines, presented by transgender people in the flesh! - Gender Identity in Anime is meant to be a primer on the complexity of gender identity and presentation in anime, with special attention paid to the context of anime as a Japanese art form and cultural gender roles intrinsically linked to its production and narratives. The do’s and don'ts of offensive stereotypes, positive portrayals, and respecting your friendly neighborhood crossplayer or next-door trans person.
