User blog:Jamie/Episode 16 - Gender Benders and Racelifts

So... first, an apology. Episode 16 has been out for a while, but posting it here slipped through the cracks.

This is bound to be a controversial episode, but an interesting and important topic: The changing of race and gender of established characters. This has been in the news recently with the 'changing' of Thor to a woman. (In actuality, male Thor still exists, a woman has simply taken up his mantle.)

What do you think of this week's show? Let us know in the comments!
