There’s a long line of people backed up to the front entrance. I’ve been here since 6:00 this morning and it’s almost closing time. But I love fan conventions. I’ve just gotta get through these people quickly enough so that I have enough time for everyone before they’re ushered out.

A teenager is let through the ropes and they look timid and almost scared. There is a miniature trans flag gripped in their hand.

“Hey!” I greet them with a smile. “How are you today?”
