Hello,
I didn’t really know to share this, so I thought this would be the best way to share. I appolagise in advance about my writing, inglish is not my first language, I haven’t written in inglish in a really long time and I’m dislexic.
Recently I saw the TV show Locke and Key on Netflix. For those who don’t know the show, it’s about the Locke family and this keys that posses many different powers and magic. The vilan in this story is a demon that escaped a portal and possesed a teenager named Lucas. He than starts to murder his friends because he wants to have the keys. He dies and years later the former girlfriend of Lucas brings him back using one of the keys. Unfurnatly, Lucas isn’t the one that comes back from the dead, but its the demon that possesed him all those years ago. The demon takes a key that can change his aperance and they change for a girl. In the last few episodes of the season, the main characters understand that they (the vilan) can change their aperance. This boy changes his body to look like a girl and they go and kill people all over the world. The main caracters don’t undersant what gender they are, so they say things like “he or she... or whatever” and keep mis-gendering they.
This is verry problamatic because it reprensents the trans and non-binary comunity and their is this caracter that can change sex is this evil creature that kills and bullies children without any sign of regret. The main caracters are never say the right pronons and seem discusted.
This type of plot is the same of the one that JK Rowling (or she who shall not be named) usses and I hoped that with that happened this last few month would have stoped this kind of narrative.
When I tried to reserch about this, their is no one talking about the transfobia in this show, and I feel like I’m not the wright person to talk about this because I don’t enought about the subject but I wanted to start the conversation anyway.
