I think the only one here pushing Dr. Who's new iteration as a "transgender issue" is Jon Caldara. This isn't the first time, by far, that fiction has explored gender shifts in its stories. Captain Kirk swapped bodies with a woman in the original 60s TV show. "Some Like It Hot" had Jack Lemmon in drag. "Bosom Buddies" made it a premise as a sit-com and launched Tom Hanks' career. Eddy Izzard did his comedy gigs in full makeup. Mr. Garrison spent a year as a woman on "South Park". Kathleen Turner played Chandler's dad on "Friends". Hilary Swank won an Academy Award in "Boys Don't Cry". We've lost count at how many times Bugs Bunny wore dresses. And that's only scratching the surface. But now… NOW… suddenly, Dr. Who goes female and it's because of some dastardly transgender agenda. C'mon, Jon… seriously? Spend less time searching for hidden messages on your cereal box and more time thinking up a thoughtful column.
