Halloween 2024: Day 19

Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde

“It’s a queer business, Sergeant. Very queer.”

Quippy one-liner about the lengths you have to go to in order to get HRT through the NHS goes here.

I’m not sure you can gender-bend Hyde in a progressive way, but you certainly can do it in a queer way. Reading Jekyll as trans plays into some very harmful tropes in unpleasant ways, but it has a very effective portrayal of gender euphoria and at least it’s not afraid to have themes.

Fields of Fall, Timber Ales

Imperial Stout with pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fairly subdued spice, but it tastes nice.
