When the power to tell our stories is placed in the hands of members of our community, the result is simply beautiful. We are finally heard. 💙

When we are watching a film, sometimes a line or quote sticks with us long after the credits have rolled. So, we want to know, what is one quote from a film that has always stuck with you?

Arriving at the dawn of the internet and a time of tremendous growth for the LGBTQ community, Xena changed the media landscape and created fan communities that still thrive today.

Transgender Day of Remembrance was created to remember those who have been lost as a result of transphobia, after the murder of Rita Hester. Since 1999, this event has drawn attention to the violence and discrimination that members of our community face on a daily basis, in the hope we can raise awareness and build a better world.

We kicked of Clexacon 2021 with a SPLASH at the Badge Pick Up & Pool Party! We wish we could go back in time and start the whole thing again... but until then, we're busy planning ClexaCon 2022! 🧜‍♀️

The impact of visibility in the media is undeniable. Perceptions are formed through what we see and hear. With diversity on screen beginning to rise, Trans representation is still battling to be given the equal footing it rightfully deserves. Here's a little throwback to the insightful panel 'Trans & Non Binary Representation in Media' at ClexaCon 2021. Thanks to all panelists, Dr. Christina Patterson, Sav Rodgers, Sonya Saturday &  Riley Silverman.

In honor of transgender awareness week, we thought we would share this powerful quote from trans activist Grace Dolan-Sandrino! 🌈🌈🌈

"Transgender Awareness Week is a week when transgender people and their allies take action to bring attention to the community by educating the public about who transgender people are, sharing stories and experiences, and advancing advocacy around the issues of prejudice, discrimination, and violence that affect the transgender community." - @GLAAD

The @Queerly Beloved Revue Show was definitely one of our ClexaCon 2021 highlights! With stunning drag and burlesque performances from the entire cast, it's amazing to see Fanfics brought to life! ❤️

Falling in love has nothing to do with gender, and EVERYTHING to do with the person. It's about finding a connection with another soul 🌈🌈🌈

Right now, we're wishing we could wind back the clock and experience ClexaCon 2021 all over again! But for now, we're just going to have to live through our pictures! Did you attend the panel with @DC's Legends of Tomorrow star @Caity Lotz? It was simply AMAZING!
