You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.
Crowley presenting as female to be Warlockās Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasnāt made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!
Pollution using they/them pronouns while the postman used the gender neutral honorific of sir for them? Whatās there to make fun of? Theyāre royalty.
Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.
Lord Beelzebubās androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.
Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracyās body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!
Crowleyās pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demonās style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and Iād see no difference. What an icon.
Good Omens is the first big show Iāve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, donāt give a damn about it then why should you?Ā
