Kids cartoon's lack of gender diversity parallels underrepresentation behind the scenes. But queer women, trans, and nonbinary creatives are pushing for representation in an industry that, at times, isn’t welcoming. 👇
When Noelle Stevenson, the nonbinary lesbian showrunner of “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power” rebooted the ‘80s classic into one of the queerest shows on TV, Stevenson inadvertently waded into a complex debate about what is “good” and “bad” representation.
The show's nonbinary shapeshifting alien Double Trouble was met with both praise and pushback.
Fans criticized the character's role as a villain and as another representation of a nonbinary character whose gender nonconformity was conflated with literal "alienness."

It's been 10 years since #Bridesmaids released and became a trailblazer for woman-led comedies. Director @PaulFeig spoke to Insider about the classic film and how he initially thought the movie would never be made. insider.com/bridesmaids-pa…
Feig first got involved with the film when producer @JuddApatow called him up to attend a table read for a script Kristen Wiig had written. It took another 4 years to get the film off the ground, leaving Feig "bummed out." insider.com/bridesmaids-pa…
