I actually can't think of an example where a character explicitly wields the trans status where their trans status isn't the main focus of the plot (or their character). Token trans people and token trans plotlines aren't really representative; they simply sell a commodified narrative line. I guess it's more accurate to say that they are somewhat representative but dehumanise the people, and make the condition a problem to solve.
