So any fans of Ridley Scott's 1979 Classic 'Alien'?
Yeah? Well, guess what? Veronica Cartwright's character was born male. She's trans.
How do I know this?...Well the scene in James Cameron's 1986 'Aliens' where Ripley is grilled by the suits had the Nostomo crew members' personnel files on screen. Here's Joan Lambert's...

That first sentence shows she underwent some change to alter her gender. Above this info is a line stating 'Gender: Female (Unnatural) '. Bit harsh for most trans people maybe that word 'unnatural'.

So there's hope that through 'Despin Convert' trans people will be matter of fact in the future. Now. if we could just stop said trans persons being killed by xenomorphs we'll be peachy!
