Thank you to improve my education. Quite a long read, but I got the gist. She fought for respect, a cause everyone can understand.

Yeah, when people use the phrase "threw the first brick at Stonewall", it's in reference to Ms. Johnson.

When are we going to talk about trans mutants? I've already suggested Marrow & Chance as FTM, and some on Twitter suggest Mystique as AMAB. I'm a big fan of the reading of Emma Frost as an MTF surgical masterpiece, but it comes at the price of fan-fave Christian.

Do we talk about the same Xavier?
His lastest embodiment seems to me a different species.

Same canon but a new characterization.

I guess we'll have to disagree on the state of mutant activism loll but its for real cool that you actually read that..I'm used to internet discussions being about ear plugging and dismissing instead of legit learning from each other loll I hope that doesn't sound patronizing I genuinely respect + appreciate that energy

God can you imagine if Mystique and Destiny had conceived Kurt as Claremont had initially intended? The concept of gender to a character who can so easily shed their outwards appearances in favour of a new one ... someone should be writing about this rn ! With Destiny potentially back maybe we'll see it

Your Trans!Emma concept has Christian as her compartmentalized/repressed pre-reassignment self right? I honestly love that idea so much
Maybe in an act of radical self-love and acceptance Emma "reanimates" Christian as a psychic projection/extension of herself ? Maybe I'm drifting too far out there lol

lmao you're making me wish I lived in a world where a reasonable answer to someone not knowing who Martha Johansson is is " its Time for LGBTQ+ History!" because I know the people there are having a lot more fun rn

The fact that Hickman put in precisely 0 effort to try to show how Dawn of X flowed from the prior continuity is a gigantic problem

This, along with the near-total absence of expected character interactions (given everyone being brought back to life/reunited physically) causes Dawn of X to "feel AU"

I fully agree. Also a big problem: that this is somehow a controversial opinion.

One More Day was better than the utter joke that are current X-"relationships".

It's a controversial opinion because post-Secret Wars the mutants became a zombie franchise where nobody cared too much about what was going on.

It's a "nothing of value was lost".

More and more I want the x-men in their universe completly seperate from the rest of marvel that have become increasingly more toxic to the franchise's heatlh, this awkward middle ground where there's this invisble barrier yet its not enforced well enough is maddening.

Well, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby placed the X-Men in the Marvel Universe. You'll have to take it up with their ghosts.

It's not. Hickman and editors are showed he pitched and wrote this well over a year before it was released. It wasn't a problem that he didn't fit with what Rosenberg and other writers were doing, it's the other way around, and that's solely editorial fault.
