Pronoun Trouble

Well yeah, but I feel like she extra needs a hug right now (early season four), with Catra going all "I will burn the world down around me just to get what I want, even if what I want goes up in flames with me."

Yeah, it's a complicated situation 😑 There's no easy answers here, and your positive-side points are nothing to sneeze at! Double Trouble is a really fun character overall, they're just... hmm. I love the ways they break from existing patterns, but the ways they enforce existing patterns are... not terribly comfortable for me. (Regarding the spoilery stuff, if Double Trouble ultimately ends up on the good side, I will be not even remotely surprised.)

The representation thing with regards to actors especially is difficult terrain, IMO. It's wonderful when nonbinary actors can play nonbinary characters, and trans actors as trans characters, et cetera, but I saw someone express the worry that this would ultimately shoehorn trans actors into only being able to play trans roles, which there aren't a lot of to start with. Then there's the huge pressure for anyone who isn't out as non-allocishet to out themselves to play queer roles, thus getting harassment coming and going. Finally there's the issue of people who discover that they're queer by playing queer roles (I'm specifically thinking of Kaitlyn Alexander, who played LaFontaine in the Carmilla webseries, leading to their discovery that they are nonbinary). Fortunately, the best solution I can come up with to this problem is "Have a whole bunch more queer characters" 😜
