Hi Everyone Along the lines of Chrissy's questions. What are your favourite characters either it be, books, tv shows or films, that you associated with or wanted to be in those mediums?
Character association is how people relate to or identify with certain traits, behaviours, or roles traditionally associated with a particular gender. It can provide some insights into how individuals perceive their own gender identity. However, it's important to remember that gender identity is a deeply personal and complex experience, and it's not solely determined by how one associates with certain characteristics.
For instance, someone might feel a strong connection to qualities or roles typically associated with a gender different from their assigned sex at birth. This could be an indicator of their gender identity. Conversely, gender identity is not limited to traditional or stereotypical characteristics, it can be fluid and multifaceted.
So being aware that character association is not the defining point in your gender identity, but maybe one aspect of it.
My character associations are as follows:
- Minerva in Time Enough for Love by Roberts Heinlein
- Penny (Penelope) Lost in Space (tv series)
- Eve Lapthorn engineer in Halcyon Drift series by Brian Stableford
- Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv series)
- Danielle De Barbarac in Ever After (film)
- Bender in Futurama (tv series)
- Marvin in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I guess the above lists provides a start. I guess the list also tells me something about me, I wonder what? I have tried to think of a male character that I have associated or wanted to be in the past, but unable to do so at the present stage however, if I do recall I will add them to the list.
Your turn, so go for it.
