Hello my babies, hello my darlings, hello my ragtime girls. Yes, the three genders: babies, darlings, and ragtime girls. Tag yourself: I’m darling. This morning I am wearing faded jeans with holes in the knees as I sing in the choir and The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church is there. You know, the smiley guy who preached at Meghan Markle’s wedding?? I’m very embarrassed lol, but as soon as I stopped working in the service industry I threw out all black pants. So here we are. You live and you learn! How are you? Packed for camp yet? I’m not! I leave at 7 am! I, and I really mean this, love how reckless and fun I feel during Gemini season!!!

The Generation Q iteration also means chances to address some of the mistakes made in its original run. While groundbreaking, the series wasn’t without its flaws, even when it came to its own LGBTQ+ storytelling. “The thing that I get the most shit for, and it’s well-deserved, is the Max storyline,” Chaiken says. In addition to critiques that the show lacked racial diversity, the writing around the show’s main trans character Max — played by Daniela Sea — received a lot of backlash, particularly regarding how his transition was portrayed, among other issues. The show also got flack for casting a cisgender woman in the role of a trans man, a mistake Chaiken acknowledges.
