3.0
Still weaker than the DC one, but an overall improvement.
Alex Phillips' introduction prose needed to explicitly call out the attacks on trans right, not just include that the "don't say gay bill" is also "don't say trans."
Making D-Man a trans man and having him lead a trans teen support group was excellent.
Both Loki stories were cute. I'm not surprised I could hear Hemsworth saying the lines Ira Madison III wrote for Thor.
"Permanent Sleepover" made me cry. I want 10,000 more stories with Shela and Morgan. (My childhood bff was also trans, and on the other side of the rainbow from me as these two are compared to each other. We didn't have the language younger gens do or any adult support, but the Peanuts-style flashbacks gave me all the memories.)
The rest were a little meh. I wanted to like "Perfectly Scene" but there was too much exposition for the reader to understand their backstory that they didn't feel like an established married couple.
The handbook entries shouldn't have been included to jack up the price, and ended the entire thing on a fart.
