 And in the book "Goldfinger" (you know, Ian Fleming's original
version), not only was the character named "Pussy Galore",
she, and the other pilots in her crew, were lesbians.

 <shocked face> You mean, lesbians are not a modern invention
created by the woke media?!
 Who'd have thought it.

Nothing these Politically Correct "equality" morons whine on about is actually new. There have been women, black people, asian people, disabled people, etc. on TV and in movies long long before they started spouting their ridiculous ideas and campaigns.

I guess, with Dr. Who allegedly getting axed, Aggy is just
looking for another target to vent & deflect his repressed
feelings towards.

 "Jane Bond" is probably only a few years away, people will want
the franchise cancelled then...

A *new* character called "Jane Bond" would be fine. It's when the morons hijack and existing character to ethnicity and/or gender swap that it becomes idiotic. Two 'great' examples of such idiocy being Doctor Who, and Starbuck in Moore-Ron's butchered version of "Battlestar Galactica".
I've never read the books, but in the case of James Bond, it could also perhaps be argued that the "James Bond" name is not the real name of the characters and is instead purely a cover-name re-used (along with the code number "007") by various successive spy characters. This would mean changing the ethnicity and/or gender is more palatable.
