   Serious question: Can anyone recommend someone in academia who does (or has done) reputable research of transgender representation in media?

   I'm hoping to get at least 3-4 people who know their shit and ask them about THAT SECTION in Space Quest IV. I'm interested in historical context, analysis of the subtext, and of course a judgment call on a deceptively simple question: Is SQ4 transphobic?

     Why? Because if I'm going to make a video on a hot-button topic, I feel I'd better cover my fucking bases.

     I am, however, also interested to hear from people who are trans (and are comfortable presenting online as trans) about the subject. DM me or swing me a line at contact@spacequesthistorian.com

     @sqhistorian This is a good question. I just pulled out my copy of Champion's I-IV book and re-read that section and I'd be curious of an assessment there, too.
