Venture Bros & Transmisogyny
This is by no means exhaustive, well written and many people have said better & more than me
Venture Bros is weird in that it has some really bad trans coded characters who core is a shitty joke but also those said characters are also some of best trans rep I've seen in western adult animation at all
Take Dr. Girlfriend/Guild Councilwoman Shelia & Colonel Hunter Gathers.
Both their orgins are shitty joke. that's their origin and core.
Shelia is literally "haha woman has deep man voice & everyone questions if she's a woman "
HG is basically the other side of that. "haha man wit fake boobs and in dress thats so weris and funny"
But then like the joke ends. the plot continues and these characters who started out as shityy transmisogynistic caricatures become some of the undisputed coolest, smartest and most badass characters in the series
In a world of Necromancers, Super Villains, Demi Gods and Supersciense. These two regular mortal humans are the ones no one ever wants to fuck with
Shelia is loved, lusted at and sought-after by heros and villains alike. she starts as just the girlfriend/prize to villains having a dick-measuring contests.
Then goes on to become the leader of the whole organization by her own merits, intelligence, snd tenacity and is respected by all by it.
Hunter Gathers is your Nick Fury, he's literally Hunter S Thompson, he's the person who trained Brock Sampson, is a Master Spy & commands untold loyalty from his troops.
He got a sex change to infiltrate a all woman assassin group but his face was still "male" and that was the butt of many jokes.
But even after he goes back to being male he constantly laments how he misses being a woman like unironically.
He literally says at one point: "I miss my breasts! Inside me is a woman screaming to be let out!"
I guess thats what happens when a show was on for 20years and is a product of its time and was darl.and edgy but then dropped the edge and became this huge world and a show about Failure in all its forms
And in a show about Failure where everyone's a washup, has-been, burnout and a joke
Its the two trans ones that stopped being jokes and ended up top dogs
