For me: Nomi Marks from Sense8 Clip (TW) Manila from La Casa De Papel (Money Heist) Jadzia Dax from Deep Space 9
minus-squareMalgas@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·11 months agoI see where you’re coming from with Dax (the Curzon->Jadzia transition), but I’m not convinced she is actually trans. As far as I’m aware, Dax (as a Trill symbiote) is genderless, and Jadzia is a cis-woman. Also, if we conceptualize her as trans, then Sisko calling her “old man” starts to sound like hate speech, but neither of them treat it as such.
