The damage Trump’s second term is doing to trans representation in media will long outlast his time in office.

~~What did Ace Ventura do that warrants it being in the headline?~~

Or I could read the article.

When it comes to mainstream content, we only have to go back to the late ’90s to find Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, where the whole plot hinges on a horrific man-in-a-dress “joke” (one example of oh, so many)

Missed opportunity to cite The Crying Game (1992) in that article.

The trans scene in that movie melted peoples minds back then. So much so it was rehashed as a plot twist in Ace Ventura (1994) just a few years later.
