    Of course this shouldn't be "news", but it's nice to see more Trans* people (finally) being cast in the big shows. :slight_smile: I know there are a few Whovians on EC so I thought you might appreciate this news!

    My life is complete. Literally, a trans girl not playing a trans character on doctor fucking who!! This is a huge milestone for trans representation.

    That's awesome! I know of Bethany Black. I'll definitely be on the lookout for her appearance when I watch the new series... I love Doctor Who.

    Just freaking yes!

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Doctor Who, all my love to you. That show has never stopped surprising me. It brings me such joy to know that my favorite show is being awesome, even behind the scenes.

    Besides, Bethany Black is pretty hot.

    I have to admit, this is a huge step on behalf of the bbc, maybe some stupid people will start to see the light after such a big show has decided to take this leap

    This is such great news! I love Doctor Who so this is really exciting. And it's such great news her character is not trans, that they don't feel the need to do that. Her character is simply a woman like any other woman character. That is so phenomenal.

    I'm pretty sure doctor who has always been rather LGBT friendly?
