#themyscira

Justifying Wondy's ambassador status and embassy is easy. The United States government offers her one because A. they want to stay on her good side at the start because, B. she's a Superman tier powerhouse that doesn't have a kryptonite and isn't going to leave just because the feds order her to, which means, C. offering her said status and an embassy is a way to save political face by giving her a space she can call her own, that also grants diplomatic immunity which allows the powers that be to pretend that it's not that they "can't" eject her, they simply respect international law too much *wink wink*. Once she joins the Justice League, I kinda like the idea that maybe the embassy also functions as the Hall of Justice. Not needed, but since I prefer the Invisible Jet as Diana's equivalent to the Fortress or Batcave, it would give the Themyscarian embassy a narrative purpose for the wider DCU.

As for what Diana's ambassador activity looks like, I've got some thoughts on that. My approach is that Diana's embassies would be staffed at first by the Holiday Girls. There shouldn't be other Amazons in the world for at least the first five years of Diana's career. Instead, the Holiday Girls function as a revamped throwback to the Marston notion that any woman could become an Amazon with proper training. Diana recruits them as her "twelve apostles" as it were, with Etta as the head disciple. Since she's inducted them as Amazons and presumably naturalized them in a fashion, they also would have diplomatic immunity in any country that recognizes Themyscaria, giving them some room to operate. After training them, she sends them out into the world to recruit others to the Amazonian way.

While not originally intended to be queer, many modern stories have acknowledged that an island full of women is an island full of sapphic love. Wonder Woman herself and many other Amazons have been confirmed as explicitly queer. In general, it is implied that the majority of Amazons are sapphic, bisexual, or aro/ace. The island of Themyscira is a safe haven for all women, and is often portrayed as very open about sexuality and accepting of trans women

Diana is bisexual, and has had many women partners throughout comics.

Queen Hippolyta often is involved with the captain of the guard, Philippus, with different runs having varying depth to the relationship.

Queen Nubia is bisexual, having relations with multiple other Amazons

Artemis of Bana Mighdal has been portrayed in the past as asexual, but is typically bi

Bia is a trans woman who emerged from the well of souls (the well of souls is where women who died via unjust acts of male violence are reincarnated as Amazons), confirming that trans women are accepting on Themyscira.

Yara Flor is in a gray area, with nothing confirmed, but appeared on a DC Pride variant cover in 2021

I don’t think I even need to explain what’s going on with Absolute Wonder Woman

Many other Amazons are shown as queer; but these are some of the most popular characters. The Amazons are a symbol of feminism in comics, and it’s lovely to see queerness as part of them.
