kaigou: this is what I do, darling (1 | Korra and Naga)
From: [personal profile] kaigou
I can only think of one story in which entitlement/privilege (the change in it, I mean) became part of the change-process. It's a manhwa called Click, in which a boy -- a rather sexist, misogynist boy, at that -- learns his family changes sex at puberty. So, suddenly a girl. And he does struggle mightily with the "but I always could before!" (especially given how much modern Korean society still has such huge privilege-gap between men and women). Along with dislike for his own body, and a sense that things don't work or fit right, but the driving issue is really the understanding of how he'd always expected to be treated (as male) versus how he's treated now, that he's (seen as) female. It's actually pretty gut-wrenching in places, and remarkably honest, given that it's a trope so frequently miswritten and outright abused for laughs, in other stories.
