By questioning how trans people, both on-and offscreen, are deployed within mainstream cultural industries as representatives of political and cultural progressiveness Paige Macintosh interrogates consultancy roles and their authorship status. Building on trans scholars' new attention to trans aesthetics, they also consider how scholars might productively counter the charged debates currently informing trans media scholarship by reconsidering the categorisation of trans media and beginning to reroute the power of canonisation from cis industry elites to trans viewers. Looking to genre studies particularly the intersections of gothic horror, science fiction, and spectacle-driven genres like the musical or melodrama Macintosh outlines their own variation of trans aesthetics, one that is capable of countering trans cinemas melancholic tendencies.
