Chandler is very much treated like some sort of victim because he was raised by a loving father who was transitioning.

Important question re: labour leadership debate: what do you call Keir Starmer's hairdo? One of the first questions is about what they think of the Love Island presenter killing herself :/ crispix fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Feb 17, 2020 |

Was there any comedy in the 90s that didn't treat trans issues as a joke? It seems like that was very much the passing point between "ignore trans people entirely because we're supposed to pretend that nobody knows what that is" and "trans people exist lol", same as for 60s/70s comedy and gay men.

Guavanaut posted:Was there any comedy in the 90s that didn't treat trans issues as a joke? My memory's hazy but I vaguely remember Just Shoot Me having an episode where David Spade found out one of his old friends had transitioned. There probably were a lot of poo poo jokes in there but IIRC the end result was that he accepted her and they stayed friends (but she was never seen again).

We were in Aberfan a week before the disaster. It was horrendous and especially unnerving because we moved to Blaina a few months later and my school was on the side of a covered over tip and our house was on the side of a covered over tip on the opposite side.

Classic film, one of my childhood favorites. And it only gets overtly transphobic at the very end, so a win.

You're probably right that most of the audience didn't know the difference between a trans person and a cross-dresser, but I think the angle was more about slightly less one dimensional gay characters.

Oh well you're somewhat communist I guess. "Capitalism is a precondition for freedom to flourish." is a weird one, because in Marxist analysis, yes it is, it goes in between feudalism and socialism, but in anarchist theory it doesn't make much sense as a question. I got 63% because lol, the state.
