ALYSIA YEOH HAS BEEN A BATGIRL BEFORE
Yep, you read that correctly. Alysia Yeoh is a genuine Batgirl. Alysia Yeoh was one of the many characters of DC Bombshells to join The Batgirls.
She is trans in DC Bombshells as well. And people, before you rush off to go pirate the series, I beg you, please don’t. DC Bombshells is literally the gayest comic series to ever be published. Please buy the series, either digitally or physically, support Marguerite Bennett, Marguerite Sauvage, and all the amazing people who worked on that series. They deserve the credit for their hard work. We also need to thank Gail Simone for being the person who made Alysia Yeoh a trans character. Originally Alysia Yeoh was Barbara’s roommate, who was by all accounts just another cisgender female character in comics, but because of trans comic fans mentioning the lack of trans characters in comics during conversations with Gail Simone at comic conventions. Gail Simone reacted to that by deciding that she was going to change that. She was ready to fight to make Alysia Yeoh trans. Surprisingly she didn’t have to fight because I can’t believe I actually am going to say this, but it’s actually true. Gail Simone has said so many times when she went to Dan Didio and told him that she was going to make Alysia trans, he immediately agreed. Thus Alysia Yeoh was Barbara Gordon’s trans roommate, paving the way for Alysia Yeoh to be a trans Batgirl in DC Bombshells.
X-Men: Years of Future Past
“Human hate can adapt to anything.”
unfortunately, there is so much truth to this.
The next time someone tells you to “Take a joke” or that “it’s just a joke” or that “Comedy is supposed to be offensive”, show them this. If they can’t distinguish between punching up and punching down, they’re not tolerable.
“If someone hates you, they will come up with a reason after the fact.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS.[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Piotr Rasputin speaks at length to Christina and Cameron Pryde, his children with Kitty Pryde in X-Men: Years of Future Past.]
“It always begins as a joke. Listen to me, both of you.
“One sees a father or mother of whom they do not approve – and their brats won’t shut up, and the parents are so exhausted that they just let their children scream, all sticky and crying and hitting and wild.
“And you say to your friends, ‘You should have to pass a test to breed.’ Do you understand? ‘You should have to get licensed to have kids.’
“It starts as a joke.
“Then perhaps there is a tragedy. A postpartum who should’ve gotten help, but her insurance did not cover the therapy. A father who erred, because he was raised believing men are pathetic if they are caregivers.
“Thefirst tests are drafted. And you think, ‘Good.’ You think, ‘Those children will be safenow.’
“The test comes out, and yes, there’re some problems, but nothing that cannot be ironed out, yes?
“But now anyone with a mental illness, with a criminal record, is barred from becoming a parent, and you think, ‘Well, that is sensible, yes?’ Because you’ve never known anyone like that, so who is to tell you they are not like they are portrayed in stories?
“Sick, dangerous, criminal – these words expand.
“Suddenly it is anyone with diabetes, anyone with cancer, because they could die and leave their children orphaned, so how dare they ever try to havechildren?
“It is deaf couples, disabled couples, interracial couples, gay couples – because don’t they know how hardthey’re making it for their children?
“Then it is whoever they want.
“You think you are working for the greater good. You can’t even fathom the life of someone who isn’t exactlylike you.
“Then one day – it is you. Some gene, some history, some past behavior – and suddenly, you are too sick, dangerous, criminal.
“Because the truth is this: human hate can adapt to anything.
“Youthinkyou are safe. But if someone hates you, they will come up with the reason after the fact.
“Only then do you realize what you put in power. Only then do you realize what you stripped away.
“There is terrible power in a joke, in a story, in taking the truth and making it ugly.
“Do you understand, children?”
Thank you.
