Can we talk about how Elementary casted a trans*woman as a trans*woman

Can we talk about how they didn’t make her storyline about how she is trans* AND she was seen as something desirable

Can we talk about how she had OCD but it wasn’t something that was made fun of or a big deal at all, nor did it define her character

Can we talk about how in the scene where Watson was changing on camera, they didn’t make it sexual nor objectified her body whatsoever.

Can we talk about the huge amount of minorities in the Elementary cast, ALONG WITH A MAIN CHARACTER BEING A WOMAN OF COLOR

Can we talk about how changing Watson into a woman didn’t change the dynamic of Sherlock and Watson’s relationship whatsoever, thus showing that a man and a woman can be friends without any romantic entanglements whatsoever, and the writers intend to keep it that way

Can we just talk about HOW FUCKING PERFECT ELEMENTARY IS AND IF YOU DON’T WATCH IT JUST BECAUSE WATSON IS A WOMAN THAN YOU’RE MISSING OUT

  • Irene wasn’t fridged
  • Irene wasn’t a victim
  • Irene wasn’t a generic love interest
  • Irene beat Sherlock
  • Irene took everyone’s preconceived notions of gender in criminals and lit them on fire
  • Irene was a completely unrepentant HBIC
  • Irene (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

A trans woman will be playing a trans woman on Elementary.

More and more I feel like Robert Doherty was at some point a hardcore Sherlock fan who became fed up and went “I SHALL MAKE MY OWN SHOW WITH WOMEN AND MINORITIES EXPLORING ADDICTION STIGMA, ALSO MYSTERIES.”

Bless him.
