Bridget Regan in 'Jane the Virgin'

Bridget Regan (Agent Carter) will play Poison Ivy on 'Batwoman.' It's unclear whether or not Regan's Ivy will be queer, but I would be surprised if she wasn't.

Yesterday, Everyone Was Sharing Trans Books Just Because, as We Always Should

Late in the afternoon yesterday, there was a steady stream of tweets on my timeline sharing books under the hashtag #TransBooks365.
