Title:
Subverting the Castaway: Trans Identity and Parody in “Gilligan’s Trans Adventures: A Parody, Part 2”
Abstract (approx. 150 words)
This paper analyzes the hypothetical parody series “Gilligan’s Trans Adventures, Part 2” as a case study in queer parody and sitcom deconstruction. Using the framework of Judith Butler’s gender performativity and Linda Hutcheon’s theory of parody, the paper argues that the work disrupts the original Gilligan’s Island’s rigid gender binaries through trans-coded humor, role reversals, and carnivalesque transformation. The analysis focuses on episodic structure, character subversion, and audience reception within LGBTQ+ fan communities.

“Right. So… I’ve been on a journey. Not the kind with a map and a compass, but the kind… inside. I’ve always felt… different from the start. I liked wearing the captain’s hat and the flower‑print shirt. I liked the idea of being myself, not the version the island told me to be.”
