My grandma has been more supportive of me as a trans woman and has been referring to me and calling me by the name I chose. It’s been making me really happy.
I used to in the past but I feel like lately it’s not as much. I use lotion a lot more since my skin tends to get dry a lot.
Oh I didn’t know that and thank you so much for letting me know! 😊
Agreed and she really didn’t feel like a character. Referring to hawk girl.
Yeah the female characters were not done well at all. Which is disappointing but sadly I feel like an issue with many superhero films.

I agree with everything you said. I would like to say I hope there will be better representation but I feel like that won’t happen.
And you’re right about the female characters being written for the male gaze.
Wonder Woman 1984 was terrible and not even worth watching in my personal opinion.
I don’t know how a Wonder Woman reboot would be like but I’m assuming it might suffer from the same issues.
I didn’t want to make a full thread on this but I’ve been meaning to get my eyebrows done DIY since I can’t afford to get it done at a threading place.
I feel like I don’t know where to begin with that but I want to try to learn and hopefully be able to do it somewhat well.
That’s a really good point and I had forgotten about the updates being behind. Thank you for bringing that up!
There’s a lot of good suggestions here and I wanted to add pop os! it’s a beginner friendly Linux distribution but with more of a focus on gaming.

I definitely agree with you on the Superman movie not representing the female characters well. I feel like most superhero movies don’t do a good job of this to begin with.
I felt like characters like Hawkgirl should have had more characterization or more to do. I felt like a majority of her scenes were screeching and hitting people with her weapon. Haven’t read comics with her character but she needs more backstory.
Lois I had issues with but it’s mostly what you mentioned in your post.
Overall the representation wasn’t great. I felt the overall theme of kindness was a nice message but it centered a lot on the male characters way too much.
Really needed to hear this today. Thank you!
As a trans person myself it makes me so happy to hear about your positive experiences. I’m also sorry that you live in a very transphobic place and I hope you can stay safe.
