that depends, is batgirl's room-mate gonna get the same treatment as Alan Scott's partner got in Earth 2?


I'm inclined not to think so since Gail Simone is the original author of the Women in Refrigerators list.

How the hell is that the first transgendered character in mainstream comics?  Shvaughn Erin?*  Desire of the Endless?  Wanda from A Game of You?  Dr. Occult?  Lord Fanny?  Hello?  1992 calling.

Also, I'm trying to parse that page for her response being germane whatsoever.  "THE JOKER SHOT ME IN THE SPINE AND IN THE INTERVENING YEARS THE BATMAN WRITERS RAN OUT OF IDEAS AND SO MY BROTHER WHOM I DON'T THINK HAS EVEN BEEN OTHERWISE MENTIONED SINCE YEAR ONE IS TRYING TO KILL YOU."  "Yeah?  Well, I was born a guy."

*Sure, it was handled reather weirdly, if somewhat poignantly, but not in the way gender dysphoria works, like, at all--but the Bierbaums and Giffen were totally trying.  And sure, they also don't deal with this anymore, because Geoff Johns hates all minorities, which is why he dressed up John Stewart in purple fatigues.  Probably Paul Levitz also, which is why we don't see Tyroc yell at white people nearly as much as we should.

Desire isn't some kind of freak.  He/she doesn't really have a gender.

Cause most of the readers are heterosexual males. Duh.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.

Desire fathered a child.  It fucked Rose Walker's grandmother somehow or another.

I was actually thinking "Hey my roomie who has shared a bathroom with me for at least a year is TG. I think I may leave the detective thing to the broody guys."

It's also something very much like a god and not at all a person.

It is a gimmick.  Therefore they don't need to put a lot of effort into it.

Isn't that pretty much true of everything DC and Marvel do nowdays?

Yes. I've got the book in my Flash collection at home
so I can't tell you the issue (it's a short piece in an annual, maybe no. 2
of vol. 2?), but I can tell you it's pretty rad. I believe it's apocryphal however,
