wlw Echo on the first page
Quote:Yeah I was going to point out those two things aren't mutually exclusive and would be interesting in it's own right. it's very easy to forget many trans people are religious, from Jewish, Muslim, Pagan etc, I know a couple of Muslim trans people right now celebrating Ramadan and some of the nicest people I've ever met was a pro-trans Rabbi I met at Heathrow.I do like how people are pointing out the character isn't the first Christian character despite the fact the OP and article not saying it's the first. They're going ape shit over a child, a freakin child character
Of course we all know why this is happening and who this is meant to appeal, this is to appeal to US Christian Fundamentalists and rightwing chuds who couldn't give a crap about loving and caring about their neighbours and care solely about hate and power, all the while pointing to a book most in any have actually read. Lilith, this is depressing.
The first page is just an entire run of invective (someone attempted to point out that this decision was already in the pipe well ahead of "the shift" back in November, but there's teeth to gnash, by Lilith! ) against religion.
Which, hey - fuck religion, right-on, sisters! But there's massively different energy at this instance of disney representation versus the Marvels (to the point it was UNACCEPTABLE if the casting of the professional actor was not specifically reserved for a card-carying adherent to the religion in question, and I can't help but feel feel like this is the perfect week to have this discussion.
