figuring-it-all-out

We all know how awesome “She-Ra” is when it comes to LGBTQ representation but I don’t see anybody talking about how the last season introduced a trans dude so I thought I’d mention that here.

This is Jewelstar, a new character introduced this season with his sisters Tallstar and Starla (who make up the Star Siblings). They’re featured in the fourth episode of the newest season and are all survivors of Horde Prime’s destruction. Like many characters on the show, the Star Siblings originally appeared in the 1980s cartoon. EXCEPT they were the Star Sisters then.

Jewelstar is on the right.

Ok, so they genderswapped the character from a gal to a guy in the newer show. I know that doesn’t inherently make Jewelstar-2020 trans but it was already enough for me to headcanon that he was. Then I looked up who voiced Jewelstar on the show and he’s voiced by Alex Blue Davis, an actor who has appeared most notably as Dr. Casey Parker on “Grey’s Anatomy”. He’s also a trans man.

Jewelstar’s gender identity is never addressed on the show but considering his counterpart on the 80′s “She-Ra” show was assigned female at birth, the fact that he is voiced by a trans guy, and that “She-Ra” is exactly the type of show that would give us a trans guy as a character leads me to the conclusion that Jewelstar in “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” is a trans man.

TL;DR - “She-Ra” gave us an awesome trans dude in its last season and we all should appreciate him as much as we appreciate all the other LGBTQ representation.
