Moving Forward Sideways Like a Crab Characters

Moving Forward Sideways Like a Crab Character List

Jonathan

The son of two lesbian women, one of whom was Sid who transitioned to be a man and who left Jonathan and India, Jonathan's mother, behind.

India

Jonathan's biological mother who moved from their home in Trinidad to Canada with Sid when Jonathan was a child.

Sid, now Sydney

The mother of Jonathan who abandoned him to make a life for herself as a man, transitioning into a man by the name of Sydney. A lovely, well-dressed, convincing person with a rich life full of passion and self-exploration. Jonathan and she get 9 years to work through their differences.

Zain

The foil to India, Jonathan's birth mother. Instead of a woman who wants Sid, this is the woman who Syndey also wants but cannot have. Perhaps this character represents a kind of karmic balance for Sydney's decisions.
