31: Monstrous Regiment

This is the episode a lot of you gender criminals have been waiting for: on this installment of DISC COVERERS, we're covering MONSTROUS REGIMENT! Special guest MOSS aka "BEATINGTHEBINARY" joins us on a no-expenses-paid trip to tiny, war-torn Borogravia, where we follow and dissect the worst gal pal road trip on the history of the Disc. What geopolitical conflict was Terry thinking about when he wrote this in 2003? Does gender equality within the armed forces really count as a civil victory, or is it just an excuse to recruit more warm bodies? Most importantly, WHY does this book alone account for and OVERWHELMINGLY LARGE slice of Discworld fanfiction? (Hint: it's the lesbians, Harold!) All this covered, PLUS our own extremely objective and empirical headcanons for what each member of the regiment's gender is! You don't wanna skip this one, trust me CURRENT RANKING: 1.
