I was just informed that there will be a television adaptation of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness (1969).

If the Gethenian characters are not cast with genderqueer actors, I will feel someone is missing the point.

I am so fucking nervous about even the IDEA of television doing anything with this important (both in terms of SF literature and in terms of emotional significance to me) property that the only way I am going to be able to deal with it is to pretend I never heard this news.

Legit.

I want at least to see who they cast as Therem, because that will determine whether I watch cautiously, ignore its existence, or write a lot of angry letters.
