Comic Book News of the Day: DC Comics Introduces First Transgender Character

DC Comics broke new grounds today by introducing its first transgender character Alysia Yeoh in issue #19 ofBatgirl. Although Yeoh is technically not the first trans* character in comics, she is the first to appear in a mainstream comic and author Gail Simone says Yeoh won’t be the last one:

“It’s time for a trans hero in a mainstream comic. … I’m sure it’s controversial on some level to some people, but honest to God, I just could not care less about that. If someone gets upset, so be it; there are a thousand other comics out there for those people.”
