I was quite looking forward to this show, but looks like they'll be tying themselves up in knots to affirm TWAW... and doesn't that kind of make the whole premise of the show redundant?

Basic premise for those not familiar - overnight every mammal with a Y chromosome mysteriously dies.

Two comments stick out from this article that contradict eachother:

  1. [There are some] men with two X chromosomes
  2. the cast and the crew — are making a show that affirms that trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are nonbinary

But surely if TWAW then there wouldn't be any immediate crisis following the death of all those with a Y chromosome. If TW were women then humanity could continue procreating and it would be business as usual?

I was genuinely looking forward to this show, but now it just seems like it's going to be an absolute mind melt in the pursuit of woke point scoring. Is anyone else struggling to get their head around this?

@Nothapppy

That turns the story into something completely different then. There will be men, but they'll be in short supply. So presumably they'll be used as sperm donors? They'll need to re-write the story.
It's so hard to get your head around, but I think rather than there still being men (ie males) around, it will be a case of explaining why "women" also died (but they weren't women, they were trans women, ie males, hence why they died)

Already the mental acrobatics are giving me a headache.

And surely if TMAM, then the titular last man isn't really last is he?

No chance beyond the titular last man, obviously

Yeah, that sounds really stupid. Either everyone with a Y dies and there's no chance of future reproduction, or they don't and there is a chance.

Unless all the TW are post-op but you know they wouldn't dare potentially insinuate that only post-op TW are valid.

I've no issue with comprehending intersex, as any individual carrying a Y chromosome would be affected.
