if they rebooted austin powers it would either be the most tone deaf unfunny incredibly offensive movie in years OR they’d do it right and really keep with the times in being very self aware and it would be one of the best films in decades. austin powers would be a massive support of trans rights because trans women means more women for him to shag
oh your pronouns are she/they? well baby lemme she/them titties shagadelic
austin powers discovers bisexuality and it blows his fucking mind
sub plots of the movie include him learning who he thought was a woman he previously had relations with is a trans man now and powers teaching him the ways of picking up women & powers learning he has a daughter from one of his many escapades who’s accidentally followed in his footsteps to also become a spy. the two have to team up and powers struggles being a father after being absent for so long, but eventually it’s revealed his daughter is a lesbian and they bond over their mutual love of shagging women
the only joke made in regards to the trans man’s gender is powers going “you’re a man now? now that’s groovy, honey! sorry, is it still okay to call you honey?”
the trans man is revealed from powers learning about bisexuality and lamenting that he could’ve also been shagging men this entire time, only for the trans man to be like “well….”
instead of the usual awful transphobic joke of being disgusted powers is instead ecstatic that he’s already had relations with another man and that the pressure is already off for future encounters
there’s a mid credits scene of him celebrating his first planned encounter with a man and him making a comment about how he’s finally been with “both” genders, where he’s then informed of non-binary people existing and how there’s a whole world of genders for him to explore and it freeze frames on his shocked but absolutely delighted face
