Transsexual fiction (or TSF) is a genre of fiction in which in which the sex of a central character is physically transformed typically in ways characteristic of science fiction and fantasy, making it distinct from transgender literature in which memoirs and realistic representation are common.


Terminology

One early use of the term “transsexual fiction” was by American academic Karen Nakamura in 1997 with reference to stories shared by users of the online service CompuServe.[1]. “Transsexual fiction” has been commonly abbreviated TSF particularly with respect to manga even to the extent of those English letters being used as the descriptor of the genre in Japan,[2] where the acronym is also interpreted as standing for "transsexual fantasy" as well.[3]

Other terms have been used as well, including gender bender[4] or gender bending[5], genderswap[6] (itself sometimes identified as a subgenre of genderfuck[7]), gender-change[8], gender transformation/Geschlechtertausch[9], transformation[10], trans-body[11] and transgender (or TG) fiction.[12] Issues have been raised regarding some of these terms for various reasons.

Terminology incorporating the word "gender" has been seen by some as problematic for failing to observe the sex–gender distinction.[13] "Genderswap" (or gender flip) is also used to refer to fan fiction and published works in which the sex of an established character is changed by an artist or author external to the work itself, i.e. there is no transformation within the work[14]; related concepts are Rule 63 and Crossplay. "Gender bender" has also been used as a non-binary term of gender identity by some people.

History

Folklore and Mythology

There is a history in a number of cultures of superstitions and folk beliefs[15] as well as mythology[16] concerning sex being changed in supernatural ways, e.g. some instances of rainbows in mythology having that effect.

Transvestite Literature

Several authors who looked at transsexual fiction had also noted earlier studies done by specialists in sexology reviewing “transvestite literature.”[17].

“Transvestite literature” was described as encompassing “straight prose, cartoon strips, photos, a combination of prose with cartoons or photos, and short poems,” both published and unpublished.[18] Those studying it observed the common elements of cross-dressing and forced feminization.[19]

While Ray Blanchard, in briefly touching on the subject, had used the term “transvestite fiction” interchangeably with “transgender fiction,”[20] in contrast, a dissertation that focused on the topic in detail observed, “‘TG’ media is actively disinterested in cross-dressing, instead telling stories about characters whose physical bodies are transformed”.[21]

Media

The genre has particularly been examined with respect to captioned images ("TG captions")[22], digital comics[23], online erotic literature[24],and manga and anime[25]. Examples have also been identified among novels[26], films[27], and video games[28] as well as websites attempting to catalog examples across all forms of media, including Paul Pichette’s Gender Change Fiction List[29], the Transgender Guide[30], Metamorphose.org[31], and the TG Graphics and Fiction Archive[32], among others.

Examples

A Florida Enchantment: novel and play (1890s) and film (1914).[33]

Turnabout: novel (1931)[34] and film (1940)[35]

Ranma ½ (1980s-1990s)[36]
