OMG!! ALF Nightcrawler invented the concept of a cellphone!!!!

ooc ::;

literally the greatest untruth of our age.  

there is no such thing as a cis lex luthor.  there just isn’t.  they are all trans and that is final.

even that lex who’s a girl in that one au where she’s married to alexander luthor and when he dies, because her name is alexandra, she starts going by lex when she decides that her goal in life is to destroy superman.  she’s trans too.  

it’s just fact, ok?

this is particularly obvious in universes with younger lexes – for example, take smallville lex, who is clearly stealth trans and has been since he was a young child.  from his relationship to his father being fraught with conflicts colored by masculinity and the performance thereof, to the fact that shirtless him is the rarest of rarities (up to an including a scene he shares with a much more shirtless jensen ackles, where they’re both being tortured, but only jensen’s been undressed.), smallville!lex is super trans.  not to mention it’s his genetics mixed with clark’s to make conner – no matter what the mad science is, it is much easier to make a baby when you have an egg cell to go from.  just saying.

doj lex is also really, really trans.  the thing that really cells it for me is that line about ‘no man came from the sky came to save me from daddy’s fists and abominations’ – there is at least one continuity where dad luthor has beaten lena to death, and the religious tenor taken on by this version of luthor sr. would be even more appropriate if lex was trans or even otherwise lgbt.  the implications just sort of abound.

it also adds a fascinating dimension to the whole creation of doomsday that i’m gonna have to sit down and discuss in full someday.

I reviewed the trilogy and thought you’d want to see it!

Thank you for this exceptional review!!! It sounds like you got exactly what I was going for. This is also a really well written review and gets at a lot of the meat of the series that most reviews don’t address. Thank you very, very much!!!

Thank you very much! That means a lot to me.
