DC goes Trans!

So brainstorming (procrastinating) on BuzzFeed articles I stumbled across this gem! So DC comics is introducing the first transgendered hero! I think this is pretty awesome because they have so many super heroes with a variety of backgrounds and they've had homosexual relationships already so including transgendered individuals into the comic world opens it up to people who are able to relate to this story more by knowing or being a transgendered individual! I don't really read comics in general but I still thought it was pretty cool and wouldn't mind following the characters story line!

  1. Okay this is badass. I think what's great is showing that transgender people are strong, and can even be role models. They're superheroes for God's sake! I think this is a fantastic way to begin the assimilation of LGBTQ into society. Imagine kids dressing up as this superhero instead of BatMAN, SpiderMAN, SuperMAN, CatWOMAN, or SuperWOMAN. Let's stop labeling, people.

  2. The fact that there was even a ban on this type of thing in the first place is ridiculous. I don't read comics either, but this is awesome!

  4. this is great! the only thing that concerns me is that in the comic they end up comparing being transgendered to having life or death situations and fearing for your life. Thats not true about being transgendered. It is something that should just be common place instead of this huge reveal.
