I’ve invited guest contributor Tilly Bridges to discuss what the recently canceled television series “A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN” meant to her and the queer community, as well as reflecting on how the series was received outside of that community. It’s a powerful piece about representation in the media, the damage its absence does to people, and the part many alleged, often well-intentioned “allies” may have in that.
Tilly is one half of a trans woman/cis woman writing team with her wife Susan. They’re currently writing for the “MONSTER HIGH” animated series, were head writers of the 2023 Nebula Awards and 2021 Hugo Awards, and write comics, games, and podcasts.
