TRANS SUPERHEROES: Out magazine talks with Melendy Britt, voice of She-Ra, on the character's appeal to queer viewers, from She-Ra's closet "secret identity" to her gender-neutral approach to confrontation. Britt calls She-Ra "transgender" (emphasis hers).

Then, Zack Rosen interviews the woman who could become the first trans person in space! (In like ten years).

And for the Good Men Project, a trans man talks gender bias: "When I was viewed as female, people thought I was bitchy and standoffish because I communicated too stoically. Now, even though my conversation skills haven't really changed, women note how chatty I am for a guy and say that I'm such a good listener."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
