As conventions return to in-person events, we at Fanbase Press feel that it is important and necessary to provide virtual access to those individuals who may experience barriers to attending such events, as well as the panel programming that occurs onsite. In the years to come, our goal is to provide as many virtual panel opportunities as possible to provide greater access not only to viewers, but to the experienced and knowledgeable panelists who may also be limited by access.

The following is a virtual panel hosted by Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief Barbra Dillon featuring creators from various entertainment mediums discussing the existing barriers for trans and non-binary creators to share their work, the potential actions to be taken to break down these barriers, and the ways that other creators may actively lend and demonstrate their support.

PANELISTS:
Tilly Bridges (she/her) – writer, Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix
Hale Leo (all pronouns) – mixed media artist, Saturday Mornings at the River
Moss Lawton (they/them) – artist, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus
Shomari Kirkwood (she/her) – writer, Clean Slate
Barbra Dillon (she/her) – Editor-in-Chief, Fanbase Press
