Supporting Women’s Wrongs

i know people more eloquent than i am have said this but i can't ever get over what a revolutionary character trinity santos is. hyper-ambitious abrasive traumatized lesbian. adult who still self-harms. vaguely suicidal but chose to live anyway but doesn't know how to be alive. grieving. sexually abused as a child. in a toxic situationship with an equally abrasive sexy older surgeon. relentless advocate for her patients, especially the children. besties with her older traumatized suicidal boss and her formerly homeless coworker she took in off the street and her former child prodigy coworker who's just as abrasive as she is but just in a different way. secretly the kindest person on the planet. i could cry i love you so much trinity santos!!

honestly you all are so annoying because motherhood IS interesting but fandom people are simultaneously obsessed with deciding that every woman has motherly qualities and completely disinterested in actually exploring motherhood as a role that informs a character. I do think exploring a character being a mother can be wildly interesting if they are canonically one, but because of misogyny, people just view motherhood as a totally unremarkable naturalized state that all women must inhabit!
