Any Fandom : any characters, It's true that their marriage isn't a passionate one; one or both of them prefers the attentions of their own sex. That doesn't mean they're unhappily married. Any fandom, any character, a character returns from the dead with different ideas about their orientation or gender identity. Did they 'come back wrong' or are they just finally discovering who they really are? Any fandom, any character, In an age when no one talks about sex and ideas of men and women are possibly the most rigid they've been (think: Victorian), a transgender character does their best to live as who they really are, with the help of their tailor/seamstress who keeps their secret - either out of the goodness of their heart, or out of love for the purse strings. Any fandom, any characters, "Heterosexism requires binary and opposing sexes and genders: if there were a hundred genders, 'heterosexuality' could not exist." - Riki Ann Wilchins. Any fandom, any characters, "Third World queers of color, stone butches, transexuals, and other gendertrash [...] were in the Stonewall Inn that night because their lives intersected so many kinds of oppression that they had no place else to go." - Riki Ann Wilchins Tell me a story about a place (could be a bar or club, or a church, a treehouse, a cyber community, a blacktop, a community center, or anything else) that serves that function. Any superhero fandom, any bad guy, finding support among supervillains. Doctor Who, Peri, just because she wasn't born female and she worked hard for her body, that doesn't mean she's not offended when guys talk to her breasts and not to her.
