Something i'm pondering today: are there any popular or mainstream-ish TV shows or hollywood movies depicting a t4t couple? Are there any that even show a queer romance between a trans person and a cis person? Are there any that show trans women as capable of being dated and loved in long-term relationships as themselves?
I'll admit, I am unaware of a single t4t couple in mainstream entertainment media (maybe there's like a single episode sidestory somewhere?). That might have more to do with me not watching that many new shows and movies though, not sure.
In terms of trans characters being dated and loved as themselves, i think all of those are in queer-centered media like the L Word, Pose, and Transparent, i'm guessing? (Also haven't watched those shows because i'm a bad queer 😅) but a mainstream show? Definitely can't name one, especially where a transfem or trans woman is seen as having a long-term relationship as herself.

"In our generation, there are so many people who have gone through trauma, especially at the hands of our postwar parents and a bigoted society. Each Rainbow Elder has their own story, but we all share a similar vulnerability." —Abby Tickel for Maclean's
I am listening to podcasts as I walk the dogs. So far today, I have encountered two speakers who were either #nonbinary or #transgender people who had absolutely bonkers names (by traditional standards).
This is something I am seeing with increasing frequency amongst the younger generations of gender-queer people.
To all of you, I say “Fuck yeah!” 🙇♀️
I love the idea of claiming your identity in a radical manner.

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.

In a statement released by the Endocrine Society, they reiterated that they stand by their guidelines around the provision of gender affirming care for transgender youth: “We stand firm in our support of gender-affirming care."
