Honestly, the 90s was a shit time for many LGBTQ people and often PoCs as well. Can we have (at least) todays levels of wokeness? Oh and today levels of healthcare... and today levels of assistive technology for people needing assistance, oh and...

    Treat it like a Ren Faire.

    Wear the No Fear shirts and carry a Walkman, but do it for fun.

    Sit back, watch some Reading Rainbow or Erie Indiana.

    Maybe sing the Song that Never Ends.

    It's all play acting, but it's nice. Especially if we focus on the nice parts of the 90s, the stuff that led to the wokeness of today.

    Is a co-op clone just a community library with extra steps?

    Lol, I've considered calling out for that reason before when my wife's being really cute.

    But yeah in the 90s a lot of medical professionals helping trans people still believed that people who are really trans had to meet a bunch of highly gender conforming expectations, including transitioning to heterosexuality. The good news of course was you could lie to your doctor.
