Rose Marion Tyler. Better known as James Tyler Malloy. But how and why? Well, because this is the 1940s and in the 1940s there is a war of the world that only men are allowed to fight in. But Rose wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t going to let her gender define her and restrict her. Rose was going to fight and she knew her life would depend on it, after all, it’s a war.
With that in mind, medical degrees in hand, Rose told her family she was joining the army as a medical assistant but what she was really doing was joining the army, not as Rose Tyler, but as James Tyler, James Tyler Malloy, that is. With that, she was enlisted. Rose left home a day early, chopping off all of her hair, binding her chest, and awaiting the day to come.
The next day she awoke bright and early. Her chest was binded, her uniform was on, and she was packed, ready to live out her dream. Once arriving, she stepped up to her commanding officer and said in James’ voice, “James Tyler Malloy reporting for duty, sir.”
