Trans character the last of us

Author: a | 2025-04-24

The Last Of Us II also featured a trans secondary character, One of the problems with including trans characters only as NPCs is that players must experience these characters Lev – The Last of Us Part II. Lev is the first trans character to be introduced into The Last of Us series and is voiced by trans actor Ian Alexander (Star Trek: Discovery).

Trans The Last of Us II actor addresses his character’s in-game

Writing about representation as a trans woman sometimes feels like you’re surrounded by barbed wire. There’s the obvious people who don’t like that you’re trans - or that you mention that you’re trans - but they don’t really matter. Much more importantly, there’s the pressure that you’ve got a platform other trans people often aren’t lucky enough to get, and so you want to do right by them, but you also want to stay authentic. There’s also the fact that my experience as a white trans person is radically different from those of trans people of colour, and that while women as a whole are traditionally both under represented and disproportionately discriminated, trans women get a lot more public oxygen than trans men almost everywhere. ‘Almost’ is the key word, however, as trans male representation seems to have found an unlikely ally in triple-A video games.I wrote recently about how Lev’s portrayal in The Last Of Us Part 2, while imperfect, was a hugely important one. I didn’t think it was particularly odd that the trans gaming character I’d connected with the most was a trans man in Lev rather than a trans woman like myself, but when I realised he’d ousted fellow trans man Krem from Dragon Age: Inquisition, it did start to feel a little curious. Then I racked my brain to think of other examples of trans characters in triple-A games who’d left an impact, and I came up with Horizon: Zero Dawn’s Janeva: another trans man. Starting to get a bit weird now. I thought harder, and landed on Leo Kliessen from Tekken; he’s male presenting but is the only male Tekken character able to equip female accessories, and was confirmed to have been born female, named Eleonor, by Katsuhiro Harada at the Cologne premiere of Tekken: Blood Vengeance. However, the official Tekken website uses male pronouns for Leo. Whether that makes him a trans man or male presenting non-binary, I can’t say, but that makes four masculine trans people I called to mind before a single trans woman. The next and final one I could think of without researching further was Tyler from the upcoming Tell Me Why, so that’s five. And not a single trans woman. When I finally dug around for some, I discovered why. There were no trans women in triple-A video games I had ever connected with. They existed, sure, but for a few reasons, I never found them particularly memorable or helpful.First, that barbed wire comes back. Trans women have relatively few privileges, but media exposure, when directly compared to our trans brothers, is certainly one of them. If I asked you to imagine a trans person, you’d likely think of a woman. Maybe it was the likes of Caitlyn Jenner, Nikita Dragun or Laverne Cox from the world of celebrity or Kim Petras or Laura Jane Grace from music. If it was a character from film or television, chances are it was a woman too, as Wikipedia lists just

Elliot Fletcher on 'Y: The Last Man' Trans Character

Your "better death" be?kewldude475 4 years ago#163HP posted... Only if you fall for the shallow and lazy ways they try to get you to sympathize with her. Or I guess if you are particularly good at mental gymnastics you could try to judge a post-apocalyptic world by arbitrary moral standards of the real world in an attempt to make Joel/Ellie into the supposed villains and defend bad writing.Joel did kill a lot of people, probably tortured people, and might have even doomed humanity. Even his brother said he should take what he did about Ellie and the fireflies to the grave. So stop with the nonsense. 4 years ago#17jdclanc11 posted... But they changed it last minute because they didn't want to make the first major trans character a villain. That would explain why the first trailer shows her captured by the homophobic group. It would also explain why she is unusually buff.you should be more exposed to trans culture.this post just sounds a little out of touch with other humans. leave your house more!kewldude475 4 years ago#18Also, zero chance Abby was ever supposed to be trans lol 4 years ago#19Tijn83 posted... Agreed. Abby is a great character with complex but understandable motivations. She is as much the protagonist of this game as Ellie is.DO tell us all how she is “complex”*spoilers*When does she ever feel conflicted with her choices? When does she regret killing “you know who” and learns that revenge is only going to cause a constant cycle?Where is

Characters - The Last of us

The offspring of Kaido is set to arrive in the anime adaptation of One Piece as the War for Wano continues, but another swashbuckler is seemingly receiving some interest as their gender identity has been revealed. One Piece itself hasn’t been shy about adding transgender characters to its roster over the decades and it would seem that the character known as Morley is one of them. Videos by ComicBook.com The idea was made public when One Piece surfaced online with new Vivre Cards. The publication shared a lot of new info about our heroes including Yamato, and the cards even seem to say Kaido’s child actually identifies as a female rather than male. But in Morley’s case, the character does refer to themselves as trans in the Vivre Card.According to translations from newworldartur, the Vivre Card specifically labels Morley as newkama, and this phrase has been used to describe other transgender characters in One Piece before. The term is understood in Japanese to identify a person who is transgender or even non-binary if gender fluid isn’t appropriate for the case. In Morley’s case, their Vivre Card goes on to further define their gender, and it says “she has the heart of a maiden” despite “having the appearance and voices of a middle aged man.” This phrase has been used to describe others like Kiku who have firmly established their trans identity.The Vivre Card goes on to label Morley as trans by he pronouns and flavor text. The pirate uses the female pronoun “atashi” when talking about themselves, and Morley also talks about men as if they were in a separate group from herself. All of this evidence points of Morley identifying as trans, and the are far from the only One Piece character to address their gender identity. As mention, Kiku did so awhile back, and others like Ivan and Bon Clay preceded the pair years ago.What do you think of this new detail? Do you think One Piece has done a good job diversifying its characters? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.

Revisiting TV's most trailblazing trans characters of the last decade

South Korean actor Park Sung-hoon is opening up about his approach to his transgender character in the second season Squid Game.Netflix’s hit thriller series drew criticism last month when it was revealed that the cisgender Park had been cast in the role of Hyun-ju, a former special forces soldier and transgender woman. Critics have long argued that apart from denying trans actresses work, casting cisgender men to play trans women reinforces the anti-trans perception that trans women are “really” men. That insidious belief is not only at the heart of efforts to deny trans women access to public bathrooms, changing rooms, and shelters, but can also lead to violence against them. Related: While Park did not directly address the backlash, he noted in a January 8 interview with local reporters that he approached the role with “caution,” and consulted with actual trans people in an effort to make sure Hyun-ju would not come off as a “caricature,” according to Korea JoongAng Daily, the English language edition of South Korean daily newspaper JoongAng Ilbo. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. “I never wanted to overdo the voice or exaggerate my gestures, and [Squid Game creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk] fully agreed with me on that,” Park said. “Since my natural voice is quite deep, I felt that altering it too much would undermine the emotional authenticity.” Park went on to explain that he worked closely with Hwang and the show’s costume and makeup teams to develop the character’s look. But, he said, “Hyun-ju’s short bangs were my idea.”He also noted that in a particular scene, Hwang asked him to think about how Hyun-ju’s mother would have felt when she first learned about his character’s “sexuality.”Hwang “wanted that emotion

How Y: The Last Man Plans To Approach Trans Characters

An episode of the Disney animated show “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” focused on a transgender character will no longer air.News broke this week that the episode, which leaked on YouTube, has been pulled from airing on Disney Channel in 2025 because of its LGBTQ storyline.According to Polygon, the episode titled “The Gatekeeper” is about the transgender character Brooklyn, who is voiced by “Pose” star Indya Moore. Brooklyn is competing on the girl’s volleyball team and faces discrimination from the opposing team’s coach, Greer (voiced by Amy Sedaris).“Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.” Disney+/Courtesy Everett Collection‘Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.” Disney+Greer reportedly uses a magical key to lock Brooklyn and her teammates in the girl’s locker room. Brooklyn breaks down to her teammates and tells them, “I’m trans, my very existence breaks Greer’s rules.”Brooklyn also wears pride-themed kneepads and has a “Trans is beautiful” sticker on her water bottle in the episode, according to Polygon.Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Disney+Derrick Malik Johnson, a member of the show’s storyboard revisionist team, addressed the episode being pulled in a since-deleted post on the new social media microblogging app Bluesky.“So guess I finally got hit with one of the projects (episode) I worked on is getting shelved because of which party that won the recent election,” he wrote. “It breaks my heart knowing this impactful and amazing is now about to be consider a lost media episode.”Other animated artists spoke out on social media and similarly speculated that the episode was removed because Donald Trump won the presidential election.Donald Trump at Christ Chapel in Zebulon, Georgia on October 23. Getty ImagesEmmy Cicirega, a storyboard artist on “Gravity Falls,” wrote on X, “Disney should be ashamed of themselves for canning this episode. You don’t get to approve approve approve something and then destroy it at the last minute, shattering the crews hard work and hopes.”Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Disney+Matt Braly, who created “Amphibia,” responded to Cicirega’s post and said, “If an episode got this far, it was approved multiple times by multiple divisions, only to suddenly be struck down at the last second? Total break down of process and spitting on your team’s careful/thoughtful work. S&P approved this ep. It was good to go.”“The action being preemptive makes it so much worse to me,” Braly added in a second tweet. “The absolute cowardice and second guessing when actually this is when this content is needed most.”However, a Disney source told Polygon that the show’s decision was made over a year ago and was not based on the outcome of the election.Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Disney+“In this case, this decision was based on this specific episode, not because of the character being trans,” the insider claimed, adding that the episode is not “banned” but is being “held.”The source also said that Disney is “really proud” of the show and that the company is “respectful of the role that parents play in the discussions they have with their children.”The Post has reached out to Disney

To come through, but at the same time, didn’t want to overdo it,” Park said.Park also explained that Hwang had spotted his feminine side and saw the character in him in his performance as a grieving father in a 2021 episode of the South Korean anthology series KBS Drama Special. “I was raised with two older sisters, so it was difficult not to be influenced by them growing up,” Park said. “But I had kept this feminine side of me hidden.”Hwang, meanwhile, addressed criticism of his casting of Park late last month, telling TVGuide.com that while he initially intended to cast a transgender actress, “there are close to no actors that are openly trans, let alone openly gay, because unfortunately in the Korean society currently the LGBTQ community is rather still marginalized and more neglected, which is heartbreaking.”In a subsequent interview with Decider, Hwang explained why he felt it was important to include a trans character in the show’s second season.“I saw the people who come to join the games in Squid Game as people who are usually marginalized or neglected from society, and not just financially speaking,” he said. “Today, unfortunately, in Korean society, the gender minority is a group that is not as accepted widely within society. Which is why I created the character Hyun-ju as a male to female transgender woman.”Subscribe to the LGBTQ Nation newsletter and be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

Such as “birth sex,” “bio boys” and “genetic girls,” and to stress that our gender identities are far more relevant than how the straight world nonconsensually categorized us when we were babies. Yet somehow, over the last few years, FAAB has been appropriated by many cis queer women who wish to convey their affiliation with trans men, and to distance themselves trans women as well as cis men.For instance, the musician Bitch recently wrote an “open letter” explaining why her support of trans woman-excluding women’s spaces is not “transphobic.” She begins her letter by dismissing cis/trans terminology, then she reframes the issue in terms of FAABs versus MAABs. Again, this is not an isolated incident—one can see FAAB-mentality rear its ugly head in radical-feminist blogs, butch/femme settings, and trans events. I’ve even seen queer folks wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the word FAABulous.So let me state for the record: I am not a fucking MAAB! I am a trans woman. And unlike all the so-called “FAAB FTMs” who move freely in queer women’s spaces, I identify and move through the world as a woman. The whole fucking point of trans activism is to get people to respect us for who we are, not for what the straight world expected us to grow up to be when we were mere babies. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who categorizes any trans person based upon how we were coercively assigned at birth is not merely being anti-trans, but they are quite literally engaging in baby talk.But FAAB-mentality isn’t only transphobic—it’s also biphobic, specifically toward bi women who are sexual with cis men. It plays into baseless accusations that bisexual-identified women “reinforce the binary,” yet celebrates those who embrace the supposedly more righteous label “pansexual.” Now I have nothing against the term “pansexual” per se. But in queer women’s circles, it is often used as a code word to communicate: “I am sexual with everyone except cis men and trans women.”Finally, despite all the cis femmes who have embraced FAAB terminology (as it allows them to partner with trans men yet still be considered lesbian), FAAB-mentality is highly femmephobic. After all, we live in a queer culture that valorizes sexual- and gender-non-conformity. So when FAAB-mentality defines womanhood in terms of being labeled “girl” as a baby, then the most queerest, coolest thing you can grow up to be is androgynous, or butch, or trans masculine. In other words, FAAB-mentality is inexorably linked to masculine-centrism in queer women’s communities. As a result, femmes are viewed as suspect, unless of course they prove their queerness by pairing with someone more outwardly gender-non-conforming than them.So I say: let’s stop talking in baby talk! Let’s purge the terms

Is how Puc frames the scene. “Essentially, the quest forces Link to ‘clock’ a trans woman, which is often what precedes anti-trans violence.”Despite Puc’s “gay icon” acting transphobic, she does admit the quest “fails trans Zelda fans in major ways, but much like Aonuma’s denial that Link is gay, it also presents players with an opportunity.” Namely, players gain the freedom to “queer the game” by having Link wear “femme” clothes after the quest.“Other costumes are less intentionally feminine, but there’s also a distinct absence of hyper-masculine imagery like you might see in Red Dead Redemption or even Metroid, wherein male heroes are either super muscular or tall and wiry, and their costumes emphasize their bodies,” Puc maintains.Puc then lectures on how despite androgyny being “a label for thin, white, able-bodied, AFAB[assigned female at birth] people who wear masculine clothing,” those who “present as androgynous, especially if they identify as nonbinary or genderqueer, argue for fashion to be ungendered.”“To that end, a video game character wearing a bra and trousers with a sparkly veil should be able to claim androgyny as easily as a fat model wearing a flannel shirt and short-shorts, but neither presentation should be the only definition of the term.” Puc also defies Link’s iconic green tunic and white tights as “apparently how Nintendo defines androgynous fashion,” while Breath of the Wild offers more options.Aside from fan-fiction and cross-dressing, the other major leg to Puc’s thesis is Breath of the Wild ‘s Prince Sidon, a character she
