Happy pride month!
Billie Joe Armstrong
When I first heard Coming Clean and the interview where he said he is bi, I was maybe 13-14 years old. It helped me realize that I was attracted to both girls and boys. Then all the pictures of him making out with guys on stage made me realize that it’s ok.
Not sure whether this counts, and I didn’t watch it a lot, but as a trans kid in denial I was weirdly fascinated by Ranma 1/2. In hindsight it’s obviously not surprising at all, seems to be a fairly common experience. I was so confused why Ranma kept trying to get rid of the “curse”. What do you mean you don’t want to be a woman?
My partner and I recently watched Ranma 1/2 and it is such a delight! That’s awesome you found some solidarity there

Louis Couperus.
In On the Steel Breeze by Alistair Reynolds is a character named Travertine who uses ze pronouns. Just a fantastic character regardless, and how I learned about neopronouns.
