What are some gender recs (yaoi, yuri, or discussion on gender/identity) (also sorry if I accidentally sent this multiple times)

-Ikou Nikki (Journal with Witch): From the same author as White Notepad and has a currently airing anime that's the best thing I'm watching. It's more central in side characters but there's a lot in there about gender, sexuality and neurodivergence. It's made me cry a few times!

-Bloom into You: I don't think I've ever directly recommended it in a video but it's good! Those Regarding Saeki Sayaka light novels are also good as hell. The third one is just about a perfect coda for that character.

-Watashitachi wa Moto Joshi desu (We are Former Girls): Another magical gender sickness story that centers on a character that is effectively an AFAB trans woman navigating what being a woman means to her. It's interesting albeit occasionally crass and comes with some CWs. Saku Jirou has another canceled series that covers some similar ground that I also enjoyed but it's even more graphic to the point that I wouldn't recommend it.

-Even Though We're Adults: A more recent Takako Shimura that reflects a lot of growth she's had as a writer over her career. I don't think she could have written these characters this well around when she was writing Wanding Son.

-Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to: Pretty fun isekai that does a lot of exploring gender identity albeit via a very winding road.

That's off the dome. I'll probably include this in a video at some point and try to think of some others by then.
