Hey everybody, just putting this here in case anyone's interested!  I came across an anime yesterday in which the main character is ostensibly a young FTM girl and another central character appears to be an MTF boy (they're in middle school).  After 5 episodes, I can definitely say I'm enjoying this, and it seems to put a very positive light on the LGBTQ+ community! :D

It's called Hourou Musuko Wandering Son and you can watch it for free on CrunchyRoll at: http://www.crunchyroll.com/hourou-musuko-wandering-son/wandering-son-introduction-568704

P.S. I included the "possibly?" in the post's title because while it seems pretty clear that the two aforementioned characters are indeed transgender, without finishing the anime, I can't be entirely certain.

Have you ever seen Princess Jellyfish? It is not on crunchy roll currently. It has a mtf that is one of the main charters.

I just binge watched all of Wandering Son while working on office billings and invoices.  Episode 4 moved me to tears.

Interesting anime. Thanks for sharing it with us.
But anyway, the anime description weren't so respectful though. It's not a boy wanting to be a girl and a girl wanting to be a boy. You're born a certain gender, but the sex doesn't always match it. Instead of calling people "FTM girl" and "MTF boy", you can either go for the term "trans man" and "trans woman" or only the letters.
I'm not wanting to be rude. Just wants to give some advice, because some trans people might get upset by misgendering. :) Have a nice day btw.

Oops, sorry about that! :/ I'll try to avoid that mistake in the future
