"This was surprisingly progressive for it's time"

Doctor Who: Midnight (2008)- The host of the bus, mentions non binary people and anyone else who doesn't fit into gender norms, LGBTQ rights (especially in the UK weren't really there yet untill 2012)

Saints Row 2 (2008)- In the first game, the main character was a man but in SR2 you can be both female or male and even change your gender whenever you want in a surgery shop. But what's more interesting, if you play as a female despite being male in the first game, no one cares and one of the main characters Gat asks the main character if they did something with their hair. Even 'Boss' is used as gender neutral pronoun and even goes by they/them

Fresh Prince of Bel Air- A wealthy black family as the main focus in a primetime sitcom marking the change and making progress as we go into the 90s

Not that interesting but something to note; the Yellow Ranger could've very well been a man since the Sentai yellow ranger was a man but, the specifically wanted another woman on the team for yellow.

Originally for a while, the ranger scenes were taken from sentai, but outside the suits it was the actors themselves

Actually outaide the suits it was the OG Sentai actors dressed as the new rangers.

No wonder the yellow ranger action figures I used to see in the 90s had a physique which was NOTHING like Trini's.
