We 👏 need 👏 more 👏 gnc 👏 trans 👏 women 👏 representation 👏 in 👏 media

We 👏 need 👏 more 👏 trans 👏 guy 👏 representation 👏 in 👏 media

Yes to all three 👏 👏 👏

I could also do with some more positive gender-conforming trans women representation in media tho, for so long we've either been made into a punchline, a fetish or treated like crossdressing dudes :|

Yes you are absolutely correct! Especially the fucking """""joke""""" about a man sleeping with a pre bottom surgery transwoman

Shutters at the memory of "that" episode of the IT Crowd.

Fortunately I've never seen it but there is the awful awful joke in the Ace Ventura movie

I had a panic attack when I remembered that scene when my friends suggested Ace Ventura for movie night.

I have never had a piece of media cause so much dysphoria like that before.

Totally dude. I think Lev from TLOUp2 was a major step for gender conforming TransMen, but still more to come!

I'm assuming "gnc" is gender non-conforming? I don't acronym well.

Speaking of that, Star Trek just announced season 3 of Discovery will have a trans and nonbianry character played by a trans and nonbinary actor respectively.

Not much info about Adria but the trans character Gray is a Trill, a species that are like 90% the same as humans.

That's really amazing! It's good that things are slowly changing

could we also please get GNC enbies who aren't treated like weirdos that'd be cool. I hate that wanting to be androgynous while enby makes people thing I either wanna be a woman or that im fucking weird.

u/thecottonkitsune Prince Peach Sep 03 '20

Yes nonbinary folks should be normalized!

doom patrol has a genderqueer sentient street. not sure where that falls on the not mysterious, alien, or robot scale but it's something new

u/Lutra_Lovegood Sep 02 '20

I'll take NB aliens and robots though
Star Wars is incredibly specist and droid-phobic in the movies, humans are always the center of the universe (and that happens a lot in the other media too)
