And you know all those jokes and headcanons about Rocky swearing every other word like any self-respecting engineer would, right? And Grace most likely did enter all those words into the translator, but replaced them with softer censored equivalents because he himself doesn’t really swear so the idea that someone might be talking to him in profanity every other sentence probably never even crossed his mind.

Now imagine this. They finally arrive to Erid. Grace desperately wants to make a good first impression, so he spends days hunched over his laptop, painstakingly assembling a greeting speech out of fragments from Rocky’s recordings.

And the resulting first contact speech sounds… bad. Like really bad. He turns the laptop toward the delegation looking unbelievably proud of himself. Presses play. And the computer proceeds to unleash a magnificent torrent of multilayered alien profanity stitched together from fragments of Rocky’s voice. Grace has absolutely no idea.

Rocky watched all of these preparations in silence the entire time, making those sly whistling noises that could absolutely be interpreted as laughter. Rocky's proud.

The Revolving Door centres the voices of the gender diverse community in discussions about healthcare, asking ourselves what we can learn about the past, and how we can apply these lessons to our future.

The story spans 100 years from the early gender affirming care that existed in pre-Nazi Germany to the founding of the GIC post-war, and through the massive legal, medical, and social changes faced by the trans and intersex communities in the 20th century. 

Using archive, interview, historical dramatisation, protest footage, and panel discussion, we connect our modern experiences to trans and intersex people of the past -- those buried in the archives and those who fought openly for healthcare rights.
