DC didn't need to do this. DC has Galaxy, Dreamer and Alysia Yeoh.

The stuff with Klarion is particularly so sad and awful.

Over the weekend, DC Comics' latest token LGBTQ character was torn apart for being a bundle of negative stereotypes that reinforce anti-trans bigotry.
Let's talk about why this happened and what's needed to avoid this again.

“When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls.
Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””

Why the War on Trans Girls Is a War on Girlhood
Excluding trans girls is controlling who can be girls, and who can't, further dividing children and causing harm

I'm at a book launch for "Gender Trash from Hell" and Kai Cheng Thom is here which feels like being meters away from Canadian trans royalty. I have been to the trans match so I know this is hyperbole, but it feels like every trans person in Toronto is here.

Wonderful article. Don't let the length or graphs intimidate you, it's artfully written and flows well.
Why do we expect trans folks to know that they were trans at the youngest possible ages--4 or 5 or even younger--when we know so many of us take so much longer to figure it out? It's time to talk about The Story, as Stained Glass Woman returns with a mega-sized, 5,000-word article!

I don't think Superman by James Gunn was the best live-action superhero focused film ever made, but I think it was probably my favourite and I feel there are strong arguments for it being the best "superhero film."
I was constantly laughing and smiling. It felt like a living trade paperback.
