225 films from the ten biggest distributors last year. GLAAD counted the trans characters and got zero.

Representation isn't a garnish. It's the machinery by which a stranger in a state with no visible trans population learns who we are without one of us doing the unpaid labor face to face. It's how a fourteen-year-old in a one-stoplight county finds out she isn't broken.

Take the mirror down and you don't get neutrality. You get whatever somebody else hangs on the empty wall.

Who was the first person like you that you ever saw on a screen?
