“Sebbene

PREFERISSE

indiscutibilmente

il fascino di una scarpa

più elegante,

non gli dispiaceva affatto,

anzi, ne era persino attratto…

dal MODO in cui ella portasse,

quel… per niente FEMMINILE capo.”

Long term review: Scarpa Ranger GTX

Should I name them? Scarpa is an Italian manufacturer of outdoor boots, and the Ranger boots are a popular choice for hikers traversing hills, fells and trails. Although the Ranger wasn’t created for 4 season use, in Ireland it holds its own in the mild, wet winters and they make for an acceptable offering for anyone looking for a quality, leather, less technical boot with a mid range budget.…

1961: A Trans Person 🏳️‍⚧️ on Topolino?

Transgender people and Disney comics, certainly a pairing not very foreseeable, especially if the year we are considering is 1961.

Crossdressing and gender promiscuity has always been present in animation and comics, but as the pun of the joke, engaging in mockering and belittlement of the misunderstood and discriminated minorities. So, dressing as a woman has been a pervasive trope in many children-oriented media. As a result of this transgender people have never been portrayed in a un-ridiculing way.

[I will skip the eventual reclaim of some of these problematic portrayals by the LGBTQ+ community that happened later on.]

However, if we want to focus on actual trandgender people, avoiding any confusion with crossdressing and generic gender non conformity, it's safe to state that no member of this community has appeared in any form of Disney media prior to 1961.

In 1961 on Topolino "Topolino e il gigante della pubblicità" was published. Written and drawn by Romano Scarpa, it's a story centered around the endeavour of Mickey Mouse in the advertisement industry, where he ends up working side by side with an apparently redeemed Peg-leg Pete.

The character we should focus on is Mac Faxtor, the boss of a cosmetic company, who reveals to have an original backstory. Mac is an AFAB person who decided to live their life as a man, to overcome some gender-based disadvantages of the female life. They were an ugly woman who mastered beauty care, but their tecniques had no effect on themselves. So, to avoid a bad prejudicial reputation, they decided to transition into a man. It's self-evident how this backstory renders their identification with the transgender community problematic.

First and foremost there is no explicit identification with a different gender than the one assigned at birth as, in fact, Mac uses male pronouns only in public, but in private and with Mickey, after he has discovered their secret, they use female pronouns. Thus it seems that despite presenting male in public, Mac still identifies as a woman. On the other hand, although the premise for the gender reassignment seems disconnected from their gender identity, Mac decides to transition to escape the prison that the stereotypical depiction of the feminine gender imposes on women: the unfair weight of socially constructed beauty standards that women suffer, compared with men, who have a more nuanced relationship with beauty and aren't expected to care about it as much as women (we all know how this impacts the different experience that men and women have with aging).

If we can't talk about gender dysphoria for the case of Mac, a level of body dysmorphia should be taken into account.

Mac's experience relates to the concept of outing too. The entire story revolves around the blackmail carried out by Peg-leg Pete to extort money from Faxtor in exchange for keeping the truth about them a secret. Mickey's intervention succeeds in exposing Pete's crimes, while protecting Mac's life in stealth, as we see at the end Faxtor in their villa, presenting female, but being addressed as a man.

We may assume that they have continued their life as a genderfluid individual, seemingly not detransitioning, nor completely blending in as a man.

Although the character's backstory may be off putting compared to modern understanding of the transgender experience, it is interesting to highlight that the element of mockery is severely undertoned, compared to contemporary depictions of the situation, and indeed replaced, by some extent, with a more tragic overview of the life of a transgender person.

Adding to this, any moral insertion is expunged, as the author appears uninterested with the social implications of such a gender non conformity. At that time we would have expected a more bigoted approach to the matter, but bigotry is nearly absent (albeit some comedic misoginy about women being afraid of mice) and the hero of the story works to preserve the life in stealth of the gender non conforming individual. Very progressive, considering the conservative timeframe and country (probably even author) and the fact that this story was produced for mass market.
