Pat, the evasive, androgynous character made famous on Saturday Night Live by Julia Sweeney, was an inescapable figure in 1990s pop culture. As a child, filmmaker Ro Haber became obsessed with Pat—a character whose popularity stemmed from making others uncomfortable by defying gender norms. Decades later, and now an out trans filmmaker, Haber still grapples with Pat’s legacy. Thirty-five years after It’s Pat first aired, Haber assembles a group of queer and trans comedians, writers, and even Sweeney herself to revisit the character. Through conversation and critique, they aim not to erase Pat but to reframe them, transforming a symbol of ridicule into one of reflection and empowerment.

    Like many other minority members of society, the transgender community has been steadily gaining visibility and acceptance of late (despite the undeniable prejudices that stubbornly persist among the bigoted and uninformed). And, curiously, one of the ways in which this has come about is through an unexpected means – comedy. Many of the strides that have been made by the trans community in this area have emerged over…
