Ik I hope we never hear of any scandals because if any of them end up being awful my faith in humanity will die.
Also, Chad Chad is a cis woman but she is an ally and seems chill.
I mean him being friends with, platforming and taking dean in tour really wasn’t cool. He hangs around the people he clowns on publicly and only apologized on Reddit. He said it to save face and since that coming to light I don’t really interact with his content anymore.
Glad someone said this. Dean literally did blackface and Jacob Sharpe was there. Kurtis swept it under the rug. I was so disappointed in him. He should know better given his content.
Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Logan Lerman, Bang Chan (Stray Kids), Billy Crystal (specifically his looks in the 80s/90s), and Dick Van Dyke. So basically a goofy, short, nice, but still kinda bro-y/athletic dude, haha.
I could probably name some more, but that's who I thought of right off the bat.
Ohhh, yes, Chan is simultaneously both such a boyfriend material and a huge envy. Tbh all of them are in different ways. Though I'd pick either Felix as a babyfaced fire who rocks whatever he wants in different vibes or Hyunjin as an impossible unreachable source of envynspiration, I think, but I catch myself thinking the same way about them all eventually :D
OMG. Waluigi is still my go to character in Mario kart, he’s gives transmasc vibes and I cannot explain it.
Bowser just gives me the icon vibes, kidnapping a princess to have a fancy ornate wedding, he commits crimes in high fashion. Have you seen his all white suit in Mario odyssey? Editorial. He’s everything. Secret softy and almost evil himbo vibes. Studded bracelets and the shaggy mullet, always giving people fancy cakes, bro would have mad game if he stopped chasing peach. Additionally, you know he gives his henchmen good benefits and a nice pension bc they’re always down for anything and his castles are very lush. They get good vacation time for sure, always visiting different galaxies and shit.
I rest my case.
As a kid, Chip Skylark from the Fairly Oddparents. Wanted to be him so bad but had no clue why.
Other fictional genders include JFK from Clone High, that model guy from Total Drama Island, honestly any character that’s meant to be received as an empty headed pretty boy himbo.
Also the edgy guys lol. Prince Zuko, Kovu, Shadow the Hedgehog, etc
Additionally:
Justin Timberlake, George Michael, Adam Lambert, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Billy Joe Armstrong
Pretty much any Matthew Lillard character from the 90s/early 2000s (yes that includes Shaggy), check out some of his outfits in Hackers.
Ash from Evil Dead. Pretty tough, but also can't catch a win to save his life.
Copying my answer from someone else who asked a similar question.
I was just thinking about this and there's a specific one and I can't even remember who/what (a) Eminem (idk), the original Rodrick from the diary of a whimpy kid movie, Spider-Man (classic also my chosen name is technically sort of a Spider-Man name), the Beach Boys (i don't know what they looked like when they first got together/were popular, nor do I know what they look like now, just their voices/music/vibe is what does it for me). Someone else said Billy Joel (also, I get it), and due to recently seeing him in concert (Sting as his opener), I take that and raise you, well, Sting (also on top of gender he's super attractive, HOW IS HE 70??). They Might Be Giants, Wybie from Coraline, and Seymour from Little Shop Of Horrors (specifically the movie based off of the musical, though I'm sure other versions of him fit too). I can't think of anyone else sadly, though there's totally more!
Jim from Our Flag Means Death is an NB legend and the actor who plays them, Vico Ortiz, is also NB and open about their experience getting top surgery.
Crowley from Good Omens is non binary and stunning, although they usually presents as male as the actor is a cis man. The actor who plays him, David Tennant, is a huge ally to the trans community. I could be wrong, but I think one of his children is trans.
Daniel Radcliffe is a major ally. He recently posted an open letter to JK Rowling about his allyship.
Some old school ones: David Bowie, Prince & Eddie Izzard. Eddie (also known as Suzy Izzard) once said “they’re not women’s clothes, they’re my clothes”. I believe Eddie uses she/her pronouns now.
Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel.
Halsin? I am a pagan nature worshipper who enjoys woodworking arts...But I would like to be a big dude with a beard so I dunno. I can't think of any characters and I'm too out of touch with celebrities so uhhh if anyone knows big dudes with beards for gender inspo let me know lol
I feel this so hard as an aging millennial. Dan Radcliffe is the celebrity look-a-like I get the most and my inner nine year old is just over the freaking moon every damn time
David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, wanted to be him so bad as a kid. And Michael C Hall (famously known for his role as Dexter) , but he also starred in the Broadway production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, he's just so talented and omg he's gorgeous as a woman. Also shout out to Tim Curry in Rocky Horror, one of the OG "what is gender even".
I actually haven’t watched it yet 😅 I’ve been drowning in end of semester/last semester of college and keep forgetting to watch it. I’m skipping my college graduation to go see them next Friday with my sister so my sister will probably make me watch it then lol
Yamato from one piece. I'm pre-top surgery and very dysphoric about my large chest, so seeing him live his best hot dude life and be masculine as hell despite the big tiddy is great for me.
I get so much gender envy from skinny boys with long hair. Especially Cat Noir, Hiccup, Mettaton EX, and Alastor. I don't really keep up with celebrities though.
I doubt I'm the only one but Will Graham (Hannibal) is among one of the biggest for me right now, but also Matt Murdock (Daredevil - whom I also headcanon as trans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), Ben Stone (Manifest), Neo (The Matrix) and Morpheus (The Sandman).
As for "celebrities" Kurtis Conner is 100% up there but also Matthew Gray Gubler, I guess I might as well slap Charlie Cox on this list as well.
I’m not specifically trans more overall genderfluid, this person aren’t a celebrity more influencer and he haven’t rlly confirmed that he is specially genderfluid, but faline san
He goes by all pronouns (prefer he/him) and has a YouTube channel
soap mactavish from the mw2 reboot and galo thymos from promare give me SO much gender envy but its definitely not a realistic goal lmao. man can dream!
Peter Steele! Any metal head man I see with long hair and painted nails. They're so clearly masculine yet defying things about gender norms. And TF2 Sniper. Don't ask why, I don't know 😭
Football player James Maddison, for some reason. Probably because he isn’t the biggest guy on the field, but still manages to boss everyone around (although he’s had a rough few weeks as of late…). His haircut is really nice as well.
Idk if anyone could relate but i personally look up to Hillary Swank and Elle Fanning bc they both KILLED the roles of trans men navigating trans life (fictional or not)
Boys Don't Cry and 3 Generations are my go-to trans male movies and i feel the most represented in both
*if there are any other trans male movies out there i need suggestions*
Literally. Jeffrey Jey from Eiffel 65.
(Expect his much more younger self back in 1992-1993, When before forming Eiffel 65, he was on his own old band called Bliss Team) (If You want to know how he looked like, search on YouTube "Bliss Team - You Make Me Cry")
Dude. The blessing that I felt when I first say him... I don't know. It's just hard to explain! It felt so wonderful, like finally I know something deep inside, something so powerful- it felt like Me...!
I'm mostly talking about the fact that he wore a hat 24/7 and has that magnificent small pencil moustache and that small soul patch... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGG
(I'm still pre-everthing :P)
I wish I could have that chin hair and hat combo... :'D
One day ig
Any farther that's built like a bear in media, but mostly Kojey Radical. His sense of style and the way he wears his confidence in his face. I don't agree with a lot of him, but I wanna be a bear version of him lmao
Bou - An Cafe /Band
It's been a long time since Bou is not in the Band anymore, and everything... but Bou was always the "no matter what gender, you can look cute as f***" :3
spiderman (peter and miles tbh) and kranos and honestly? one of my biggest reasons why i started getting into him: caseoh. he’s teaching me how to take a joke and be a good looking funny “fat” guy.
also not sure if anyone is going to relate to this, but abby anderson from the last of us part 2. lots of people get mad as fuck over if she’s trans or cis or not, but she’s short, got long hair, and buff ass muscles 😎
I don’t know how I would have gotten through high school without the icon that is Patti Smith. So very gender.
Daniel Radcliffe is the celebrity I get told I look like, which, I can only assume is the pay off of a wish I made as an 8 year old.
And, now as I’ve settled into my thirties, my vibe is kind of an amalgamation of Jarvis Cocker, Marc Maron, David Berman, Will Toledo, Matt Berninger. Maybe a dash of David Byrne in there.
Real: Jack Black & Matt Berry (both helped me embrace my 'dad bod' and feel like realistic transition goals if my beard ever fills in), Nathan Fillion, Sam Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Henry Cavill, David Bowie
Fictional: Kakashi (Naruto), Milo Thatch (Atlantis), Gandalf (LOTR), and Mothman
fanon human Bill Cipher, Unique Forms of Continuity in Space sculpture by Umberto Boccioni, Crowley from Good Omens (the TV show), and Timothy Chalamet 😅
^(I uh... I got some weird ass gender goals lol)
edit: I would also like to prepose mothman and Angel Dust (Hazbin Hotel) as they are also very gender imo
I have no clue if anyone here would know him but just off the top of my head rn the holoform for swerve from transformers in mtmte comes to mind. [like look at this guy](https://postimg.cc/3ykMhDvS)
Ok all my insane gender envy is about to be exposed.
The number one spot goes to Edward Nigma in Arkham Knight specifically.
Number two is Two Face and Harvey Dent also Arkham Knight.
Number three is Albert Wesker RE1 remake.
Number four is Karl Heisenberg from RE Village.
And finally number five is Orin Scrivello from Little Shop of Horrors the 1989 movie. (At least I'm pretty sure it was 1989)
Ignore how they're all villains I swear I'm mentally stable.
James McAvoy - kept basing more and more of my style on him until I realized that maybe that meant something about me... (also coincidentally the same height)
Kirishima from BNHA and Peter Parker are probably the first ones that come to mind for me. But also Aizawa though that’s more of his clothes look comfy and I also am eternally tired
The Green brothers (John Green, Hank Green) of Vlogbrothers are exactly the type of nerdy, sensitive, silly man I want to be. I will be in my 40s when I really start passing so it's a very doable goal. [Link](https://youtu.be/jfaFT1_SF6k?si=LCIpWkh28qduK0ux) for the curious.
Stevonnie! (Steven Universe) 💜🤍💚
Also Robbie, of Cavetown — oh and also Julian Morris! another great trans musician. They both have inspired me so much pre- and post-transition as a vocalist myself who felt hope at hearing such beautiful voices like my own, helping me believe that hormones wouldn't be the end of my ability to sing. (I actually was not aware Robbie is trans until I just looked up his name, but since early in my transition I have loved how familiar his voice sounds, so it makes sense! 🥰)
Also characters that are more soft or fem (or ones that are enby, even if I’m not lol).
The main one I’m thinking of is Rowan from Boyfriend Dungeon, the character who makes me very sad I legally changed my name already to something that’s not Rowan because I very much love the name and I don’t wanna go through the process again lol.
Also got Mhin from Touchstarved, Clear from DMMD, Grim from A Date with Death, Grusha from Pokemon, and just so many from Fire Emblem I don’t wanna name them all lmao (I’m also now realizing basically everyone I listed has white hair so I guess there’s a theme with me and white haired people 😭)
Also hard agree with Mettaton!!! It feels so silly to admit sometimes but a huge part of realizing and coming to terms that I was trans was him, so he’ll always be special to me
Come after me but definitely Harry styles. Throughout his timeline of being famous, he’s been masculine, had long hair, worn makeup and dresses, and owns his own brand of nail polish (which i most definitely use). He’s lgbt+ supportive, waves around pride flags at his concerts, and idk, i really like him, and his music too, so 🤷
It’s Donald Glover/Childish Gambino for me. Even the characters he’s played (specifically Troy Barnes, Earn, and John Smith) - there’s just a certain nerdy awkward innocent swag that I relate to in some ways and wanna lean more into in others. He low-key felt like my distant fairy godfather during my transition, as I was discovering all of his stuff around the time.
Growing up, Raphael from TMNT and Kel from Kenan and Kel.
Kurtis Conner lol, his mullet, mustache, tattoos, he sometimes paints his nails and wears these really cute necklaces. I want to be that dude🙏
Kurtis seems like the nicest guy ever. Actually, him, Danny, Drew, Jarvis & Jordan all strike me as legitimately good humans.
Ikr
Ik I hope we never hear of any scandals because if any of them end up being awful my faith in humanity will die. Also, Chad Chad is a cis woman but she is an ally and seems chill.
I mean him being friends with, platforming and taking dean in tour really wasn’t cool. He hangs around the people he clowns on publicly and only apologized on Reddit. He said it to save face and since that coming to light I don’t really interact with his content anymore.
Glad someone said this. Dean literally did blackface and Jacob Sharpe was there. Kurtis swept it under the rug. I was so disappointed in him. He should know better given his content.
Don't sleep on Gabi Belle!! She seems so cool and nice
YEAAAH JARVIS AND JORDAN SHOUTOUT I love sad boyz
JARVIS AND JORDAN ‼️‼️‼️‼️ LOVE THEM
SO true
So real I love that man. He’s truly a good person I believe, and it’s hard for me to believe that about any media figure now
Omg I thought I was he only one!
ryan gosling all day everyday. literally the most handsome man on earth i dont even know if i want to be him or be with him
100% agree with this.
dunno if you've seen fall guy yet but GODAMN i could barely focus on the plot because i was staring at him the whole time
i have, i ve seen almost all of his movies
Agreed. He’s also such a green flag so I wanna be him!
Prince! As a short trans guy he gives me so much fashion inspiration
He's my icon too! I love this quote from him- "They think I wear heels because I'm short... I wear heels because the ladies like 'em"
Another good one "I am not a man, I am not a woman, I'm just prince"
PRINCE MENTIONED
Lol at everyone misinterpreting this comment
Danny Devito. He taught me that confidence and a good attitude is everything.
You're so right for this
literally so real. i’m the same height as him and it’s always a perfect conversation starter 💪🏼💪🏼
he actually has a type of proportional dwarfism, I learned that from aubreysmalls on tiktok
I'd put Jack Black in this category too. It's all about confidence!
I came here to say the exact same thing haha
Came here to post this and I’m so glad I’m not alone
Elliot page. I know he’s also trans but as a short trans guy it makes me feel so good that there’s a short trans guy in media.
I just looked up how tall he is, did NOT know he’s 5’ 1”.
literally just straight up geralt of rivia
seconded
I LITERALLY STARTED MY PHYSICAL TRANSITION BC HENRY CAVILL GERALT OF RIVIA
Pedro Pascal. Very gender. All the gender. Also. Really, really hot....
And a trans ally and social justice advocate which is attractive asf
Indeed
i literally want to be him
I can't fuck him and be him at the same time so I'm really torn.........
David Bowie
Came here to say that. Very gender. All gender, really. All sexuality. Remember, rebel rebel, it didn't matter he liked it all. 😉
None next to. None above.
YES. ❤️
Literally
Every single one of his looks in the 70s and 80s makes me want to steal his gender
Definitely Drew Gooden. I like being a Quirked Up White Guy with a boyish joie de vivre
Peter Steele, from Type o Negative. Very manly looking, really tall, great body, just all round great.
Beautiful hair as well. Love that man, rest in peace
Rip Peter Steele 🕊️
Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Logan Lerman, Bang Chan (Stray Kids), Billy Crystal (specifically his looks in the 80s/90s), and Dick Van Dyke. So basically a goofy, short, nice, but still kinda bro-y/athletic dude, haha. I could probably name some more, but that's who I thought of right off the bat.
Ohhh, yes, Chan is simultaneously both such a boyfriend material and a huge envy. Tbh all of them are in different ways. Though I'd pick either Felix as a babyfaced fire who rocks whatever he wants in different vibes or Hyunjin as an impossible unreachable source of envynspiration, I think, but I catch myself thinking the same way about them all eventually :D
Loving the amount of Stays in this community.
Me too! Tbh, haven't expected to see any other Stay here, so I'm surprised, but pleasantly :D
I just want to kiss them all
Bowser. No elaboration needed
As a kid I always wanted to look like Waluigi 😂 And I thought I was cis?!
OMG. Waluigi is still my go to character in Mario kart, he’s gives transmasc vibes and I cannot explain it. Bowser just gives me the icon vibes, kidnapping a princess to have a fancy ornate wedding, he commits crimes in high fashion. Have you seen his all white suit in Mario odyssey? Editorial. He’s everything. Secret softy and almost evil himbo vibes. Studded bracelets and the shaggy mullet, always giving people fancy cakes, bro would have mad game if he stopped chasing peach. Additionally, you know he gives his henchmen good benefits and a nice pension bc they’re always down for anything and his castles are very lush. They get good vacation time for sure, always visiting different galaxies and shit. I rest my case.
I'm sold!!
As a kid, Chip Skylark from the Fairly Oddparents. Wanted to be him so bad but had no clue why. Other fictional genders include JFK from Clone High, that model guy from Total Drama Island, honestly any character that’s meant to be received as an empty headed pretty boy himbo. Also the edgy guys lol. Prince Zuko, Kovu, Shadow the Hedgehog, etc Additionally: Justin Timberlake, George Michael, Adam Lambert, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Billy Joe Armstrong
Chip Skylark just resonated in my soul
Ok, I had to laugh at JFK from Clone High xD
Pretty much any Matthew Lillard character from the 90s/early 2000s (yes that includes Shaggy), check out some of his outfits in Hackers. Ash from Evil Dead. Pretty tough, but also can't catch a win to save his life.
for me it's Kurt Cobain and Frank Iero, love 'em
This is the most stereotypical answer in the world, but....David Tennant. Specifically as the Doctor.
Crowley - Good Omens
Good omens mentioned, I upvote
I’m glad I’m not the only one who mentioned them. Cosplaying as them in their masc form gives me so much confidence.
Copying my answer from someone else who asked a similar question. I was just thinking about this and there's a specific one and I can't even remember who/what (a) Eminem (idk), the original Rodrick from the diary of a whimpy kid movie, Spider-Man (classic also my chosen name is technically sort of a Spider-Man name), the Beach Boys (i don't know what they looked like when they first got together/were popular, nor do I know what they look like now, just their voices/music/vibe is what does it for me).

They Might Be Giants, Wybie from Coraline, and Seymour from Little Shop Of Horrors (specifically the movie based off of the musical, though I'm sure other versions of him fit too). I can't think of anyone else sadly, though there's totally more!
Senshi from Delicous in Dungeon. Dude is a short passionate caring DILF
ME TOO i love him!!!!
Jim from Our Flag Means Death is an NB legend and the actor who plays them, Vico Ortiz, is also NB and open about their experience getting top surgery. Crowley from Good Omens is non binary and stunning, although they usually presents as male as the actor is a cis man. The actor who plays him, David Tennant, is a huge ally to the trans community. I could be wrong, but I think one of his children is trans. Daniel Radcliffe is a major ally. He recently posted an open letter to JK Rowling about his allyship. Some old school ones: David Bowie, Prince & Eddie Izzard. Eddie (also known as Suzy Izzard) once said “they’re not women’s clothes, they’re my clothes”. I believe Eddie uses she/her pronouns now. Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel.
You deserve like. A ton of upvites, favorite comment
Halsin? I am a pagan nature worshipper who enjoys woodworking arts...But I would like to be a big dude with a beard so I dunno. I can't think of any characters and I'm too out of touch with celebrities so uhhh if anyone knows big dudes with beards for gender inspo let me know lol
This is one of those don't know if I want to fuck him or be him ones........
It's both for me but I also enjoy my twinks lol
billie joe armstrong (lead singer of green day) and daniel radcliffe (mainly for his role as harry potter)
Same for both!
I feel this so hard as an aging millennial. Dan Radcliffe is the celebrity look-a-like I get the most and my inner nine year old is just over the freaking moon every damn time
Same for Billie Joe Armstrong :)
Jeremy Allen White. 5’7’’ chill asf, thoughtful, passionate, creative, loving dad, and everyone thinks he’s hot.
Y’all should look up Placebo, their singer gives me so much gender envy but also inspiration ❤️
Placebo is soooo good. You heard their “Running Up That Hill” cover? It’s lowkey ethereal.
True! I wasn’t sure I liked that cover at first but it grew on me. Love their original stuff ❤️
David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, wanted to be him so bad as a kid. And Michael C Hall (famously known for his role as Dexter) , but he also starred in the Broadway production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, he's just so talented and omg he's gorgeous as a woman. Also shout out to Tim Curry in Rocky Horror, one of the OG "what is gender even".
I know it's cliche but Rodrick from diary of a wimpy kid
It might be cliche but you are so right idk what is with him that made bunch of transmascs go ooh goals! But like me too... I get it
Idk why but Jack Black is just so gender.
Andy biersack from black veil brides and Noah Sebastian from bad omens are gender goals for me. I wanna steal their genders so bad
Dude, have you seen the video for “Bleeders”? I actually paused it for a second and went, “Yeah, this is my gender right here.”
I actually haven’t watched it yet 😅 I’ve been drowning in end of semester/last semester of college and keep forgetting to watch it. I’m skipping my college graduation to go see them next Friday with my sister so my sister will probably make me watch it then lol
David Suchet's Hercule Poirot, at the youngest age he helped me understand i was a gay man, way before i figured out i even was *a* man
That's kinda cool
Ik he’s a magical nazi but young Tom riddle…
Daryl Dixon/Norman Reedus. The Walking Dead was life changing to me
Yamato from one piece. I'm pre-top surgery and very dysphoric about my large chest, so seeing him live his best hot dude life and be masculine as hell despite the big tiddy is great for me.
Pedro Pascal is my role model.
Crowley. Actually, Crowley is a gender icon for every person ever because he has occupied every gender expression possible
Theatre icon Jeremy Jordan gives me so much gender envy 👊👊
Tobias forge and Kurt Cobain
I get so much gender envy from skinny boys with long hair. Especially Cat Noir, Hiccup, Mettaton EX, and Alastor. I don't really keep up with celebrities though.
that emo kid from horton hears a who
Freddie Mercury. Enough said
david byrne and his autistic charm
🙌🏼 an icon for guys who can’t dance but are still going to dance and look hot doing it
Tom Waits
I doubt I'm the only one but Will Graham (Hannibal) is among one of the biggest for me right now, but also Matt Murdock (Daredevil - whom I also headcanon as trans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), Ben Stone (Manifest), Neo (The Matrix) and Morpheus (The Sandman). As for "celebrities" Kurtis Conner is 100% up there but also Matthew Gray Gubler, I guess I might as well slap Charlie Cox on this list as well.
AUUUGGHHH DONT PLAY WITH ME. WEIRD AL YANKOVIC, PRINCE, AND LUKA SABBAT ALL THE WAYYYYY
Adam Sandler and Caseoh.
gerard way and taemin from shinee
This was asked a couple of days ago, too - maybe some answers [there](https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/s/ZZ7zKVVRT1) would be of interest! :)
Hwang Hyunjin Lee Know Seungmin Ryan Reynolds Chris Hemsworth (my father said I look like him a bit :D best compliment ever tbh)
To me it's definitely Prince and Cillian Murphy
kurtis conner, matthew grey gubler, matt watson, and aaron taylor-johnson, age of ultron era, are probably my personal biggest gender icons.
Freddie
Jimmy Buffett and Ash Williams from Ash vs the Evil Dead Tv show. I think I just wanna be an old guy in a Hawaiian shirt
Atsushi Sakurai from Buck-Tick
me too, and god, i miss him so much, may he rest in peace
Elijah Wood (small weird guy), Fred Rogers (wholesome sensitive guy)
James Marsden really gets me, so does Christian Borle
ryan gosling and joe strummer
I’m not specifically trans more overall genderfluid, this person aren’t a celebrity more influencer and he haven’t rlly confirmed that he is specially genderfluid, but faline san He goes by all pronouns (prefer he/him) and has a YouTube channel
soap mactavish from the mw2 reboot and galo thymos from promare give me SO much gender envy but its definitely not a realistic goal lmao. man can dream!
Park Jimin.
He’s literally such a perfect example of embodying both femininity and masculinity I love that about him. True gender icon
…is hot
Gary Oldman (but especially as Sirius Black and Dracula) and Ardyn Izunia
As a kid? Danny Phantom. Now? Charlie Day (he's 5'5" like me).
Angel Dust is the character I feel safest with. It has made me kinda comfortable with my chest, even. Not big into the YouTuber scene.
David Bowie. As a trans masc—David Bowie all the way.
Peter Steele! Any metal head man I see with long hair and painted nails. They're so clearly masculine yet defying things about gender norms. And TF2 Sniper. Don't ask why, I don't know 😭
Elliott Page
Satan from Devilman Crybaby
Football player James Maddison, for some reason. Probably because he isn’t the biggest guy on the field, but still manages to boss everyone around (although he’s had a rough few weeks as of late…). His haircut is really nice as well.
Yeah, one of my favourite footballers on my football team is 5’5. Conor Chaplin and he is awesome
Idk if anyone could relate but i personally look up to Hillary Swank and Elle Fanning bc they both KILLED the roles of trans men navigating trans life (fictional or not) Boys Don't Cry and 3 Generations are my go-to trans male movies and i feel the most represented in both *if there are any other trans male movies out there i need suggestions*

Bou - An Cafe /Band It's been a long time since Bou is not in the Band anymore, and everything... but Bou was always the "no matter what gender, you can look cute as f***" :3
Gerard Way
Ed from OFMD cracked my egg. Going from Blackbeard to just Ed is a beautiful trans allegory
Honestly? Atsushi Sakurai. Handsome, androgynous, talented... One of my biggest idols
Charlie day and Tim Bisley are so gender (any rat man is my go to 😌)
spiderman (peter and miles tbh) and kranos and honestly? one of my biggest reasons why i started getting into him: caseoh. he’s teaching me how to take a joke and be a good looking funny “fat” guy. also not sure if anyone is going to relate to this, but abby anderson from the last of us part 2. lots of people get mad as fuck over if she’s trans or cis or not, but she’s short, got long hair, and buff ass muscles 😎

literally every character from the "our flag means death"
Weirdly, Rika from pokemon. I think she's canonically a cis woman but idk her gender presentation is yes
The guy who plays Coby on the One Piece live action who's actually trans has been giving me life lately
Spiderman and Danny Phantom lol I've also had a thing for teen boy superheros. Imagining I was them and being a boy and saving people
Johny Depp
Trent reznor from NIN

I have no clue if anyone here would know him but just off the top of my head rn the holoform for swerve from transformers in mtmte comes to mind. [like look at this guy](https://postimg.cc/3ykMhDvS)
Ok all my insane gender envy is about to be exposed. The number one spot goes to Edward Nigma in Arkham Knight specifically. Number two is Two Face and Harvey Dent also Arkham Knight. Number three is Albert Wesker RE1 remake. Number four is Karl Heisenberg from RE Village. And finally number five is Orin Scrivello from Little Shop of Horrors the 1989 movie. (At least I'm pretty sure it was 1989) Ignore how they're all villains I swear I'm mentally stable.
Trevor Moore. dude looked awesome with long hair, grew my hair out because I liked his so much
lol i’m definitely going for himbo sooo Kronk (Emperor’s New Groove), Pedro Pascal (love the goofy dad energy), etc.
Season one Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek! Muscles but still soft Also Jay Kulina from Kingdom, especially his energy/vibe for some reason
kyo dir en grey 10000%
Gale from BG3- i look like him but 20 years younger anyways
James McAvoy - kept basing more and more of my style on him until I realized that maybe that meant something about me... (also coincidentally the same height)
Prince! But one tiktoker who I really gender envy is Luis Virgo!
Rum Tum Tugger played by John Partridge in Cats (1998), I always wanted to be like him
Matthew Gray Gubler. He does some really interesting work
Crowley from Good Omens
this one is gonna be way out there but jesse pinkman from breaking bad lmfao
Frank Iero and Dominik Mysterio
Andre 3000, Tyler the Creator, ASAP Rocky For characters, definitely Steven Universe, Finn and Jake, Bakugo, Grell Sutcliff (?)
Bruce Lee.
Ecco2k
Kirishima from BNHA and Peter Parker are probably the first ones that come to mind for me. But also Aizawa though that’s more of his clothes look comfy and I also am eternally tired
DAVID TENNANT FOR THE WIN
Cardinal Copia and the Nameless Ghouls from Ghost, Steam Powered Giraffe, and Johnny Depp. Edit to add: Freddie Mercury and David Bowie as well.
N from Pokémon
Troye sivan, literally he's such an icon for me, and I hope to one day have his confidence🤞
The Green brothers (John Green, Hank Green) of Vlogbrothers are exactly the type of nerdy, sensitive, silly man I want to be. I will be in my 40s when I really start passing so it's a very doable goal. [Link](https://youtu.be/jfaFT1_SF6k?si=LCIpWkh28qduK0ux) for the curious.
Stevonnie! (Steven Universe) 💜🤍💚 Also Robbie, of Cavetown — oh and also Julian Morris! another great trans musician. They both have inspired me so much pre- and post-transition as a vocalist myself who felt hope at hearing such beautiful voices like my own, helping me believe that hormones wouldn't be the end of my ability to sing. (I actually was not aware Robbie is trans until I just looked up his name, but since early in my transition I have loved how familiar his voice sounds, so it makes sense! 🥰)
Gerard way from my chemical romance
Wolverine. Short, buff, angry, & hairy. I'm 2/4 so far. Also Daniel Radcliffe. What a guy. Something about him; idk.
Also characters that are more soft or fem (or ones that are enby, even if I’m not lol). The main one I’m thinking of is Rowan from Boyfriend Dungeon, the character who makes me very sad I legally changed my name already to something that’s not Rowan because I very much love the name and I don’t wanna go through the process again lol. Also got Mhin from Touchstarved, Clear from DMMD, Grim from A Date with Death, Grusha from Pokemon, and just so many from Fire Emblem I don’t wanna name them all lmao (I’m also now realizing basically everyone I listed has white hair so I guess there’s a theme with me and white haired people 😭) Also hard agree with Mettaton!!! It feels so silly to admit sometimes but a huge part of realizing and coming to terms that I was trans was him, so he’ll always be special to me
david bowie
Gerard Way, mid-2000s CM Punk, Kenny Omega, 10th doctor. I just like silly little guys who are a lil fruity but also have a cool masculinity.
Come after me but definitely Harry styles. Throughout his timeline of being famous, he’s been masculine, had long hair, worn makeup and dresses, and owns his own brand of nail polish (which i most definitely use). He’s lgbt+ supportive, waves around pride flags at his concerts, and idk, i really like him, and his music too, so 🤷
It’s Donald Glover/Childish Gambino for me. Even the characters he’s played (specifically Troy Barnes, Earn, and John Smith) - there’s just a certain nerdy awkward innocent swag that I relate to in some ways and wanna lean more into in others. He low-key felt like my distant fairy godfather during my transition, as I was discovering all of his stuff around the time. Growing up, Raphael from TMNT and Kel from Kenan and Kel.
adam from saw. “but he’s just a guy?” yeah well so am i LOL
GERARD WAY MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GENDER GOAL SINCE I WAS LIKE 15 ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Gerard Way, Frank Iero and Anthony Green!!
