Queerness in Cosplay
Trans, two-spirit, and nonbinary cosplayers face unique challenges in the costuming world. Issues like dysphoria, body and/or ability shaming, and misogyny can be barriers to support and enjoying the art of cosplay. How is queer identity and acceptance being positively represented in the costuming community? What's being done to encourage the community to be more inclusive?

Fan-Made Content: Reimagined Creation or Copyright Issue?
