    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<span>Speculating on what would happen if scientists conducted an experiment where a child was raised without the expectation to follow a rigid binary gender role - even using 'it/its' pronouns - and how both the child’s peers and their parents would react once the child started school.<br /><br />This short film is an adaptation of <em>X: A Fabulous Child's Story</em> by Lois Gould. It was originally published in the magazine <em>Ms.</em> in 1972, and a few years later, it was published as a children’s book in 1978 with illustrations by Jacqueline Chwast. The short uses a similar art style to Chwast’s original illustrations.</span>]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Dans la Nature / In Nature]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<span>This amusing documentary showcases the queerness found within the animal kingdom.<br /><br />As animals are incapable of human speech, we technically do not know how a particular animal would identify and must judge them based on their actions and behavior. For simplicity, I shall be classifying this short under the general queer umbrella and the pairings shown throughout the short.<br /><br />I am also including how one could interpret these animals from a human perspective on gender. For instance, goby fish are able to change gender in a fluid manner which can be relatable for some who identifies as genderfluid (for umbrella term simplicity I shall classify this aspect as transgender, but a person can be genderfluid and view themself as nonbinary rather than trans). Additionally, the classification of intersex is included; because even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the short, some gobies have been found to be <a class="in-cell-link" href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0078323414000116">intersex</a>. <br /><br />For those interested in reading an opinion piece about gobies from someone within the intersex community, I would suggest, “<a class="in-cell-link" href="https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2013/01/just-so-stories-about-hermaphrodite-fish.html">Just-So Stories about Hermaphrodite Fish</a>” written by Dr. Cary Gabriel Costello on his blog <em>The Intersex Roadshow</em>.</span>]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Elemental]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight:400;">In a city filled with different air, earth, fire, and water elements, this story focuses on an immigrant fire family. When the daughter, Ember, eventually crosses paths with a water element named Wade. Despite the two coming from completely different backgrounds, they begin to fall in love.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Wade’s younger sibling, Lake, is credited as the </span><a href="https://www.them.us/story/elemental-disney-pixar-nonbinary-character-lake-ripple">first nonbinary</a><span style="font-weight:400;"> character in a Pixar film, and is </span><a href="https://twitter.com/JustAVoiceActor/status/1669792764106792960"><span style="font-weight:400;">voiced by</span></a><span style="font-weight:400;"> nonbinary voice actor Kai Ava Hauser. In the film, Lake’s nonbinary identity is not stated explicitly, and she is addressed with she/her pronouns. However, Lake is canonically nonbinary in some of</span><i><span style="font-weight:400;"> Elemental</span></i><span style="font-weight:400;">’s relat</span><span style="font-weight:400;">ed media. In the book </span><i><span style="font-weight:400;">Unlikely Friends </span></i><span style="font-weight:400;">(Rusu</span><i><span style="font-weight:400;">,</span></i><span style="font-weight:400;"> 2023</span><i><span style="font-weight:400;">),</span></i><span style="font-weight:400;"> their role is expanded further throughout the story, and their pr</span><span style="font-weight:400;">onouns are exclusively they/them</span><i><span style="font-weight:400;">.</span></i><span style="font-weight:400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">Additionally, due to the characters being elementals there is an ambiguity in the character design. I have included androgyny and queer to reflect this aspect. If anyone who worked on the film can confirm whether there were supposed to be additional queer background characters (in particular the couples seen dancing in the park), please feel free to reach out, and I will adjust the categorization accordingly.</span></p>]]></dcterms:description>
