uhhhh hmmmmm wellllll the power better introduce a trans character soon or so help me

#like. y the last man (hulu version) had trans men among the survivors - which #even if they could have been folded into the narrative a BIT more seamlessly when strangers singled out yorick as a rare sight to see #- basically felt like an accurate reflection of the world we live in #i also am inclined to give y the last man more leniency bc the showrunner had said she had ideas to integrate trans women as well in s2 #and also because they spelled out the science more clearly. as strictly a chromosonal thing #and ALSO because idk. just. in vibes. y the last man wasn't fucking at all with the idea of essentialism or the idea that #the Event might be in any way a feminist stroke of luck #but the power is kinda playing with fire (heh) here bc #in the early stages it is seen by many characters as a chance for women to finally have... you know.. #power #so it feels like... a miss that the show treats it as an awesome thing that all women and only women happen to have #i kinda think this plot sucks and i hated the book and i'm not surprised that the show maintains the whole like #''what if girl power but then girls were also bad?????'' lame ass attempted logical gotcha #i mean the book lost me when it had a scene where a group of young women at a rally in nigeria #gangraped the only male character who was a sort of feminist in progress #i'm just not buying what this show is selling i fear #ugh. i miss y the last man (hulu version) bring back y the last man!!
