←Recommendations of 2XYX

With a robot’s gender identity serving as the main focus of this play, the narrative about gender is less focused on lived experience and more focused on not abiding by social constructs. An interesting meditation on queerness from a definition perspective, in that sense.

There's something about this script that whispers to my brain, "If this were a manga, you'd be filing this away as one of your favorite one-shots of all time." It's a lovely piece of dialogue. Humans, parents, and gods. We all try so hard to control that which we create, and we always seem so pained when we discover life exists beyond us. But it does. And it moves forward, and it lives. This is a wonderful short from Cesario Tirado-Ortiz, and I can't wait to read more of their work. (I hope he keeps writing sci-fi, too.)

I'm a sucker for a good script with TechxHumanity conversations, but 2XYX manages to take this conversation and go beyond a reader's expectation!
It is a wonderful piece on the perspective of Gender and I will be recommending it as a starting point for anyone who wants to have that conversation with either myself or my colleagues.

This is a thought-provoking piece that does what any good science-fiction story does: it speaks on important issues of today through the guise of a future world not too far off from our own. A great script!
