So something that's been gnawing at me about the attack helicopter story is this, and let me explain: what if The Last Jedi had had a trans character? And not, like, a Holdo or Rose, but someone ambiguous like DJ. Would y'all still love the movie's provocativeness and "ambiguity"

That's a big ambition and there's nothing wrong with big ambitions in themselves but you'll be held to a really high standard

Right, but I feel like right now LGBT and especially trans representation is stuck in a "since we have so little it had better be ambiguously good" mode which is why it ends up being mostly cartoons, and I don't think we're going to move past that without risks

(I have a ~conspiracy? theory it’s specifically the intersection of that meme on the transphobe side and the week or whatever in 2016? when queer twitter got into a tizzy about that one paper on drone pilots experiencing body and/or gender incongruity, because proSF is very slow)
