Summary

We brought on an Elliott to talk about an Elliot! For quite a while, Puerto Rican writer/director Elliott Feliciano (OutFest's "To Be With You") only saw examples of trans women in media - and the few trans men he did see were all white.

Also, we dig into Elliot Page's epic announcement - the joy *and* the controversy, oh my!
