Trans people are just like you and me. Them being trans does not pose a threat to and is not a danger to anyone. Placing warnings about trans content unfairly villifies an entire group of people for no reason. It is a form of discrimination that will make networks & streaming services less likely to include trans content, which in turn will make it harder for show creators to get approval to create trans content. I have friends now who are trans. When they were younger, there was no trans content available, so they had nothing to guide them in understanding themselves or what they were going through. The cis people in their lives also had no point of reference to what it meant to be trans. Thus, my trans friends' lives were very difficult back then. Now that they have become their true selves, they are much happier. Imagine how much better their lives could have been if they had role models like themselves on TV to look up to, or to show to the people in their lives and say, "that's me." Representation matters. Please do not make it harder for trans representation to exist and be seen by everyone.
A cartoon man who looks like James Bond.
Cartoonish drawing. A man with a weirdly multi-segmented arm with other arms branching off of it cries out, "Why??? Why is it like this?" A voice off-screen replies, "Your arm, you mean?" The man replies, "No! My dick! Why is it so small?"

A perfect rendering of the fast food logo everyone is using for memes, with the incredibly true message, "PIECE OF SHIT FAST FOOD HAMBURGER TASTES LIKE SHIT," lovingly hand-written between the top and bottom bun shapes.
It's a secret!
Photo of life-size wax figure of Capt. Picard from Star Trek TNG, but the figure's hands have been removed and placed on the floor in front of the figure. My comment under the photo says, "One of the best wax figures I've seen, hands down."

Drawing of a man with pointy teeth, slicked back hair, wearing vampire-like clothing. He is shrugging and rolling his eyes with one eyebrow raised while saying, "I mean, yes, I go out at night and drink people's blood so I can live forever... but I'm not a vampire!"
Modnar, a three-eyed blue alien with no body, just arms and legs sprouting from a head, with yellow markings that resemble gloves, boots, and a skullcap, poses aggressively while pointing at the sky. His eyes are bulging out of his head and throbbing veins are visible at his temple while his tongue wriggles chaotically out of his stretched open mouth. He stands on a nondescript purple field while stars twinkle above him.
Artist's rendition of drinking a beer. It looks awesome, trust me.

Closeup on a drawing of a skull who is really hamming it up for the camera.
A flattened plastic bottle, probably crushed when a car drove over it, lies on the street. The pavement is still wet where the liquid in the bottle burst forth from the opening at the top of the bottle when it was crushed, creating dynamic lines that spread away from the bottle at widening angles. A crumpled up piece of paper lies at the other end of the water stain, creating the illusion that the paper is being propelled forward by the water, and that time has frozen to capture this perfect moment. The angle of the water also intersects with the curb at an acute angle, creating an equal and opposite negative space that mirrors the water's shape in a symmetrically satisfying way. As an added visual bonus, a clump of bright green weeds sprouts at the edge of the curb, creating a pop of color that contrasts against the grayness of the road, grounding the image visually while creating visual balance with the empty section of concrete above the bottle.
Screenshot of Kyle McLaughlin talking about the movie "Dune" but the close caption titles spelled it D O O N.
Drawing of a guy with too many fingers. As if to agree with me, the artist who drew him, the man in the drawing is saying, "Yep. Too many fingers." But can he even agree with me when he has no free will? After all, I cursed him with his predicament and I wrote the very words he is saying. Do any of us have free will? Did somebody draw us? But damn, what a good lookin' fella! And what a bunch of long spaghetti-like fingers he has! Too many, you might say. Say it. Say, "Too many." Obey me!
Drawing of a decapitated head barfing somehow. Where is the barf even coming from? It makes no sense. Not very realistic if you ask me.
