Is Doctor Who Transgender Now? A video essay
Didn't the Doctor transition? Twice? But why is the show suddenly obsessed with pronouns? And what is the deal with Rose Noble? With Russell T Davies and Ncuti Gatwa's new series coming up with guest stars such as Jinkx Monsoon and Mary Malone, it's time to ask the question...is Doctor Who transgender now?

Was Tolkien a big gay? Were Sam and Frodo lovers? Was everyone in The Lord of the Rings transgender?! There is no way of knowing. Except to watch this video. No cats were harmed in the making of this video. Miško just wants to be included in the fun, he loves to be centre of attention! Video by Verity Ritchie.

With the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, its time to ask, is Doctor Who sexist? Or am it the feminism?

I don't think she would hate the doll, but the price
What is the obsession with seeing yourself on tv? You only make up about 5% of the population. You get lots of representation already. Still not enough. Its never gonna be is it? Isn't story and characters more interesting to watch?
That is actually a very good marketing tactic
This is kinda off topic but why was Israel a middle eastern country hosting eurovision
ok hear me out
This video was great!
Everything is political. If you are talking to another person that is politics
It’s so ironic that Israel uses woke and gay aesthetics to cloak there incredibly nationalistic ideology, given that gay marriage isn’t even legal, yet they try to present themselves as a bastion of progressivism.
I just came across your video about the queer history of lord of the rings and I'm absolutely in love with your video essay style and perspective. I'm binging your content right now
10:22 I believe this Doctor "does gender" with color perception. _Men and Women See Color Differently (No, Literally)_ -Smithsonian Magazine This Doctor unwittingly utilized greater color perception to navigate a charity shop for their signature outfit. I am not saying it plays well, yet I find this more convincing by the second. Due to its subject matter, maybe the production stumbled on how to communicate science facts? The Smithsonian article was published in 2015, yet this does not guarantee awareness in their existing audience.
My brain processed trans and transparent. Needless to say I was very confused 😭😭
Today’s Expression?!
Damn verity! You were always hilarious
This masterdoc is not only problematic for bisexuals, but also for lesbians. Bisexuals identifying as lesbians and constantly sleeping with men are partly the reason why no one takes the actual lesbians serously.
Also shoutout Madonna, that song wasnt very good but shoutout anyway
Shoutout iceland (im Icelandic)
Ann Bonny and Mary Reed are s bit more cimplicated than that. 1. Theres serious doubt that they actually existed. 2. Women did dress as men to work on ships at the time but vast majority of times they did it as sex workers. Women werent allowed on ships but strait men who were at sea for months at a time wanted womem sex partners. So smuggling women sex workers on board disguises as men was not super uncommon.
Tbf.. real life kind of has a gay button too...specially in the 90s.
Im so afraid to watch love, simon because the book was AMAZING and everyone seems to hate the movie
Bruh sauron as a twink somehow makes more sense
I ditched Doctor Who in the Matt Smith era during the times of first airing because it had become stupid and boring. Now CZcams essays are helping me giving a shape to that disappointment. I liked the Davis era a lot, it made Doctor Who my favorite series, but then it plummeted and I didn't know what t f happened.
As a cis, white, male, straight person, your videos are incredibly educational for me! Most of my friends are in the gay community, and its content like this that shows me just hiw awsome they are, and how important it is to support them. So.. thanks!
Heartstopper ain’t bad but my god does it sometimes feel realllllly after school specially in some parts. Like things can be soft, but sometimes I feel like the people who wrote it are so scared of getting cancelled they made it so inoffensive that it comes off as a little cringe.
still better than contrapoints' last
I've had someone say that as a bi cis man I shouldn't refer to myself as queer. I laughed and told her she sounded like she'd get along with terfs
You're backing up my decision to get a new streaming service. Just long enough to watch the show I wanna watch and then bailing
I just assumed they keant it in a toungue anc cheek way because the shirts literally say "love wins" and the pics look real domestic lol
Barbie is pan
I dont care. barbie is bi. HAVE YOU SEEN THE DIAMOND CASTLE MOVIE?
Honestly, A1 vid. Definitaly helped answer all my questions 3 years later😭
😭
I'm living in East Asia and I meet people from different backgrounds. Who both know and don't know history of other countries and politics. But it's always so interesting meeting people who are in Eastern Europe or West Asia and seeing how they have a well-covered infiriority complex that is created to them in their countries that ismore like trying to constantly behave or prove they are "more european" or more like "proper" and have a lot of bad things to say about their countries andcultures and especially consider non traditional cutlural things are better. And this made me feel more valid because I've experienced this in my own country but I thought it was our problem We were not good enough, advanced enough or modern enough, but when you go abroad, especially far from the West's influence, you get perspective. And what's described in this video is definitely something I've been realizing more and more. Great to see it spoken so well here.
Wow just wow
FUCK EUROVISION AND EVERYTHING RELATED TO IT!!!
I really enjoyed this essay, thank you!
GYATTTT❤️‼️❤️‼️‼️✨️🗣🔥🔥🗣
GOD SEI DANK ICH HABE NOCH NIE EUROVISION GESEHEN !!! ES GIBT WICHTIGIRES IN LEBEN!
Shhhhhhhhhhh bi barbie is my choice. I get to choose. My doll.
9:08 I literally just found out recently that I find this concept actually extremely hot. Im the commenter you warned us about.
Good job on ***almost*** making jk rowling look like a decent person
I knew a little girl who had it, she called her “the ugly doll”. Smh
Barbie hade such a good masage of being a man and not letting wemon take your stuff(idk i never watched it im jusy going by the tiktok trends)
I’m concerned you may be simplifying the implications of eradicating copyrights and patents. But I still enjoyed this video a lot
i literally bursted into laughter when you said nonbinary eminem lmfao
Well, the new incarnation in the Disney era has definitely erased any ideas expressed in this video.
13:18 i'm a little mad they didn't make her the next Doctor after Whitaker. She had a great attiitude, outfit looked cool and she just had the aura of somebody I'd adventure with. Part of me hopes they somehow rewrite that bit with her being the first Doctor and maybe line her up for after Ncuti's run, if she's still up for it or something. I'm assuming this is VERY unlikely, but I guess it'd be nice if she could show up for an episode in Ncuti's run somehow for some reason....not sure of any other reasons or details...I just think she looks cool from what I loosely remember from her episode. (haven't watched that episode in a few years, wanted to like Chibnall's run more, but i don't think I really liked it.)
every day i thank god that i never got into harry potter
0:36 wait, that was actual confirmation of her being Trans. huh. bit of a surprise for me. I just assumed it was a memory thing and her mind had a weird slip up for a second due to having extended her life for so long and everything she forgot a few things and a word or two was off or something. that's interesting to know.
Lol. What can EBU do to Madonna? 😂
15:00 lemme tell you when I SCREAMED when my lovely girl-not-a-girl-old-man was mentioned!!! DS9 is just my favorite, so much of Dax resonated with me as a kid. Love to see her get love!!! Also season 7 does not exist.
