Full Synopsis
You might be the kind of person who stands up to online trolls.
Or who marches to protest injustice.
Perhaps you are #DisabledAndCute and dancing around your living room, alive and proud.
Or perhaps you are the trans mentor that you wish you had when you were younger.
Maybe you call out false allies or stand up to loved ones.
Maybe you speak your truth and drop the mic, or maybe you take it with you when you leave.
