Vanessa (Greeks Bearing Gifts): Difference between revisions

In the real world, Vanessa would likely consider herself [[transgender]]. Jack uses male pronouns in his anecdote, while trans women tend to use female pronouns, in line with their gender identity. [[Toby Whithouse]], who wrote the script to ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'', also used he/him pronouns in reference to a presumably trans female horse, [[Susan (A Town Called Mercy)|Susan]], in a comedic line delivered by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in ''[[A Town Called Mercy (TV story)|A Town Called Mercy]]''. Both have been construed by some fans as being transphobic.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/little-boxes-will-make-you-angry-doctor-who-and-transphobia-71391.htm|title=Little Boxes Will Make You Angry: Doctor Who and Transphobia|author="Michelle Kerry"|date of source=27 January 2015|website name=Doctor Who TV|accessdate=9 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://stfu-moffathaters.tumblr.com/post/31623171731/wait-why-do-you-dislike-toby-whithouse-i-mean|title=Wait, why do you dislike Toby Whithouse?
