Uncanny Valley
First theorized by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in 1970, the Uncanny Valley basically states that the closer a robot or other nonhuman entity gets to resembling a human, the more humans will like and empathize with it.

However, there is a point in development where humans instead become strongly repulsed by the barely-human robot/entity. Fortunately, this effect fades as the robot/entity becomes less distinguishable from a human.

Although hotly debated, the theory is present in many sci-fi movies and the like, and has been used to explain people's reactions to some computer generated characters.

I can't get into "Rumble Roses" because the girls just don't look quite right to me. I guess it's the Uncanny Valley at work.

The Uncanny Tranny Valley
Like the uncanny valley, but regarding transgender people. Instead of the resulting eeriness being caused by the imperfect resemblance of a human-mimicking replica, in this case the same or similar uneasiness stems from the major or minor ways in which a trans person does not pass as their preferred sex.

Wow, Janet Mockery passes really well, visually, but I can't get over the gay guy voice. The mixture of the two is giving me a serious case of the uncanny tranny valley effect. It's mildly unsettling.
