"Representation matters. It showcases the diverse spectrum of gender, uplifts trans and non-binary individuals and educates cisgender people who were never taught anything outside of the gender binary. Under a presidential administration that has barred trans people from serving in the military and prevented transgender children and teens from using the bathrooms they feel comfortable using, it is vital that trans and non-binary youth and questioning individuals be made aware that our identities are not abnormal. And until trans and non-binary representation becomes mainstream, many people will still feel othered, and be othered socially."

"In a recent interview with Posture Magazine, a queer-run publication based out of Brooklyn, New York, genderqueer activist and MSNBC Correspondent Jacob Tobia spoke on TLGBTQ+ visibility in media. Do not equate visibility with power, Tobia said. Many visible people have very little power. And more often, invisible people have tons of power."
