This was originally going to be a comment, however I'm very autistic over my guys, and I want to ramble.
I'm a trans guy, but I have very few trans people in my story. 4 trans guys, 2 trans women, and one enby. One of the trans guys is dead (he's killed), two are villains but one stops being a villain, and one comes out much later in the story (and is the dad of the ex-villain). They're also all very mentally unwell, and the one that was doing the best is the dead one. Meanwhile my two trans women are thriving.
me and my million fucking brushes that I use
One of them is the younger adoptive sister of the currently villain trans guy, and he was absolutely fucking awful to her. But she's doing better now. They're not infallible, the other one is a little bit of a freak (but we love her), but they're significantly better people than the guys. And they've both been through shit, but they're doing so much better than my boys.
The enby is the older sibling of one of the main cast, and is very much a background character. But they had a really huge positive impact on their sister's development, and are the reason she is the way she is in present day.
They are punk, their sister is goth.
Here's another one of my trans guys that means so much to me dearly. He's in another story, but it's lowkey in the same universe as the one I was just talking about. (Side note, Lucifer and Satan are not in a relationship.)
He used to be an angel known as Anael.
Anael was the Archangel of Joy and/or Love. She loved so deeply. She was incredibly powerful, but also incredibly young. Out of The 7 Archangels (there are others, but they were the 7 most powerful), she was the second youngest at 6k years old prior to her fall. Sachiel (the one with her in the picture above), her older sibling, was the third youngest at 190k years old.
However, a horrific incident happened that hurt her so deeply that it changed her completely. Anael went from a sweet, loving, and joyous angel to a bitter, angry, ans spiteful one.
Nowadays, Lucifer is the King of Hell. He is the Prince of Wrath, whereas Satan is the Prince of Pride. He realised he was trans prior to the incident, but was deeling with a lot of emotional turmoil prior to it because, in his mind, it "went against God".
I'm personally a lot more inclined to absolutely fucking up my boys then my girls because I'm a trans guy myself. I also just tend to make trans men farrr more than trans women (which I think is fine for many reasons. Media has a heavy focus on trans women, with trans men often being completely shafted or just left in the dust. Trans men are basically completely invisible. And, also, I AM a trans man. It's my own lived experience.). I don't have a lot of trans characters in general, most of mine are cis because I only make a character trans if I feel it's right, but when I do make them, they're usually trans guys, and they're usually the most grumpy fuckers you will ever meet. And they're, more often than not, assholes because they've been hurt so deeply that their natural disposition leans towards prickly/sour/abrasive. They don't trust people very easily, and they can see through bullshit very very easily too. And it doesn't come out of nowhere, it's from my own lived experience.
Lucifer is probably the one that embodies my whole "my trans men are usually mentally ill fucked up lil guys that are sour balls of spite who are increidbly distrusting of others, and experienced a deep pain that resulted in this behaviour" the most, and I think he really started it. I am not a sour guy full of spite and trust issues... but I have projected, at least, a part of myself very deeply onto these guys. But it's not just me, it is also other trans guys I know or have known. In my own personal life, I have known far more trans men than women.
