Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
developer in a dress ended up transitioning many years later (ran into her elsewhere and i had no idea who she was because i left the company way before she did it) but literally nobody even asked or cared when he showed up in a dress at first, neckbeard and all

everybody assumed "weird nerd" at first and was like "okay" and then when it turned out to be a genuine trans thing everybody was like "okay" because these were people from berkeley and the like and it was hardly unusual

my company has no dress code (although the office manager and her boss, an older lady and a stunningly camp man, will take the piss out of you for too-nerdy clothing) and specific policies and advice for managers to help trans members of staff

it's weird, it's the biggest and easily most evil company i've ever worked for but they treat their people better than anywhere i've ever worked, even the little isp where the owners would personally bring cakes round to everyones desks on a friday

oh yeah the ubuntuphone managed to raise 10 million bucks but is still 22 million short of its goal with 5 days to go, tears of impotent autismal rage incoming soon

remember getting a new hire orientation from the call center HR director once where she specifically said that girls werent allowed to have low cut shirts at work

almost dont remember that discussion because HR director had some impressive cleavage that she was not shy about showing off

don't want anyone showing up in their trek uniform but the idea that you need to tell normal people over 20 what to wear in a work environment is pretty insulting

Neighslayer is a short, light-hearted thriller about a young woman's encounter with a polite serial killer, and her interactions when she reports it to the police.

it's unrelated and based on a live-action show that predates the movie. columbia were able to get the rights to the ghostbusters name for the movie but they couldn't use it for a tv show, that's why the actual movie tie-in cartoon is called "the real ghostbusters :smug:"
