DENISE TWIN PEAKS MY BELOVED! YAY! TRANS CHARACTER AND HER INTRODUCTION DIDN'T HAVE [[too much]] TRANSPHOBIA IN IT! WOOHOO!
I like how they thought she was a guy so they're all like BUH?? but she clarifies it instantly and cooper's just like ok (:
all actual plot relevant stuff aside i wont put here because i dont want to potentially spoil people, she even cracks an awkward joke about the transition that only makes her laugh and it's an honestly fun and very real tiny little moment that i find super charming
season 2 episode 11 please do not disappoint me if the next episodes / the rest of this one turns into a slog of trans jokes i will be very sad and cry all day and night and day and night.
Cooper is the only real ally in the room here, look at his smile he's so proud meanwhile harry and hawk look like this
i stopped mid-scene to write this, and so far, the only genuine issue i have with it is that she's not played by a trans woman but hey it was 1990 this is so much more than i expected already
