Tamblyn describes the show as being set in “a world without cisgender men,” but that seems to be directly contradicted by the new trailer that dropped today, which shows a lone cis man surviving said cataclysm.
Unless he’s not cis? I mean, one of the other characters in the trailer does describe this lone cis guy survivor as “reproductively interesting,” which would be kind of a fucked up way to refer to someone who’s trans or intersex but I guess no more fucked up than calling your show “The Last Man” when
we already know there’s also going to be a trans man on it played by
Shameless’ Elliot Fletcher.
So, is Fletcher’s character not a man, too? Shouldn’t it be
Y: The Last Men? And if Fletcher’s character isn’t a man, does that mean that all the trans women who presumably died in the gender apocalypse on account of their inconvenient Y chromosomes were?
Speaking of which, I—Oh, god. I’m getting outraged aren’t I. I’m T-minus 17 seconds from a sentence that begins with “As a trans women...” I can feel it.
[...]
we already know that there was at least one trans woman writer working on
Y: The Last Man (
io9 founder and author Charlie Jane Anders), so perhaps this two-minute sneak peek doesn’t give us the full view of how the series addresses trans people? Or maybe it does.
