My bad then. I haven’t seen those commercials. Didn’t know Sonny was now identifying as such. Sorry for the mistake. Transfeminine can be applied to non-binary too, as misleading as the name is, it doesnt automatically mean transgender. This isn't the hardest, fastest rule, but a very, very strong majority of nonbinary people will identify under the trans umbrella. Like I for instance don't count myself as transfeminine because I'm less trending toward femininity and more digging myself into a hole I refuse to come out of, but still feel like 'trans' is a fine label there. It'll be different for everyone, but I think with Sonny describing herself as genderfluid and transfeminine, it's a decently safe assumption.

As the person who cited issues with the ads during June over how thy featured talent that were largely reduced to bit players in the company, my feelings are that AEW is in a no win situation with Sonny.
They would have gotten complaints from the chud demographic that would have complained no matter what but the fact that they don't use her in spite of her reactions and abilities makes me wonder... Why?
Why keep her?
If you are so scared of offending the caveman audience, okay, but at some point you have to decide whether or not you want to use somebody or if you are just going to hoard them. It's my thoughts about the Dark regulars like Diamante and the Dark Order, where unless it's on some PPA deal, there's no justification after a while.

Sorry for bumping the thread but looks like they are finally going to do something with Sonny, joining the Trustbusters is a step in the right direction(instead of continuing doing nothing)

Trustbusters I believe are getting put on ROH so may see Sonny as an ROH talent.
I'm not Sonnys biggest fan, but she also haven't gotten a real chance in an angle.

Of course, that all depends on how they plan on using the Trustbusters...

I'm not Sonnys biggest fan, but they also haven't gotten a real chance in an angle (please correct me if Sonny still uses the they/them pronouns) For a while on her Twitter, Sonny stated that she used she/her and he/him interchangeably, but not they/them. She was recently on Renee Paquette's podcast and stated that she "preferred" she/her pronouns and identifies as transfeminine. Not long after that the reference to interchangeable pronouns was removed from her Twitter, so I think she/her is best since that appears to be Sonny's preference.

I pitched a heel turn to Sonnys mom a while back. So hopefully she told Sonny about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will change that to be respectful

Sonny also has "they" on her Instagram profile now along with feminine and masculine pronouns. I know she used to not like it, but she seems to be okay with it now.

Trustbusting makes her feel good Give Sonny a Teddy Roosevelt gimmick if she’s gonna trust bust. They can come out with glasses and a mustache and yell BULLY! before they elbow opponents in the face.

Hey, Sonny's actually going to make it on TV for once! If a tree falls on Rampage I'm not sure if it makes a sound but it is technically TV.

Sonny turning heel and joining the Trustbusters was unexpected

Sonny turning heel and joining the Trustbusters was unexpected Nothing about the Trustbusters feels coherent to me, which is good, because Sonny's inclusion at least fits the pattern.

Yay for Sonny getting on TV. Boo for the Trustbusters, a faction put together to make the Factory seem less like goobers.

So now we're at the "at least they're doing something, it makes no sense, and isn't organic at all, but hey they're on TV at least!" level now.
It's an easy mark to roast TK on this one, but I'll take the high road this time, and shake my head in silence.

It is something though her being squashed and then being crowbarred into a shitty throw-together stable no one but Tony Khan seems to care about isn't really much of an improvement.

Regardless of how meh the stable is atm, at the very least this'll give Sonny time to perform on a bigger stage and impress. Something she hadn't had before the stable. It's an improvement for sure.
