A media analysis test created by trans youtuber Lily Simpson which, like the Bechdel test or the Riz test, helps the audience evaluate trans representation in the media they engage with. The Simpson test requires that "a trans episode features only trans people in a scene talking to each other with no cis interactions to distract from the conversation." This can of course be applied not just to TV episodes but to other mediums that have a trans character. Lily Simpson coined the term in a video titled "The Trans Glee Episode" published on May 23, 2024 discussing Glee episode Season 6, Episode 7 'Transitioning'.
