I love him so much. He keeps proving why he's my favorite DW showrunner
I forget sometimes that most people in this site don't know/realise how incredibly trans the Moffat era is. There is a major arc based around a character's name that ends with the emphatic assertion that only name that matters is the one you choose yourself. There's a major character who changes gender and becomes a better, happier, and more realised person afterwards. Gender fluidity is made a major aspect of Time Lord culture. There is a Venn diagram overlap of trans girls and Capaldi-era stans, and it's for a good reason.
The TERFs absoloutly remember, they're having a field day in the notes getting progressives to say "Trans Inclusive Radical Mysogonist" unironically, as if that isn't the TERF word for anyone who supports trans rights.
Guh, Moffat repeatably wrote about women struggling with the difficult parts of their self identity and developing self love, and wrote the Doctor discovering his toxic masculine traits of pride and self centeredness and putting that aside to instead embrase kindness and consideration. Moffat has had a massive trans following as early as 2011, and he knew that because he met us at cons and had a lot of time for us.
That was part of the reason it was so important for TERFs to get everyone to pick apart every idiotic thing he said in interviews.
Guy had been campagining for the BBC to let the Doctor become a woman since the 90s. Guy does have some problematic views but supporting trans women is extremely par the course for him.
#Tumblr is all about trans rights until it comes to thinking critically about their own memes #one of the most vocal 'misogynist moffat' critics is also an open and dedicated TERF #and it was her articles that set the tone for Tumblr's reflexively anti-moffat stance since #so#um #maybe y'all should think about that
since a certain other version of this post is getting popular again, friendly reminder that if you reblog the version with the phrase “TIRM” then you are spreading TERF ideology and doing a worse job of trans allyship than the man you’re complaining about :)
