Fans of the Cartoon Network show Steven Universe already know that it’s one of the queerest kids’ cartoon series ever. But it’s getting even queerer now that its creators have revealed that a major character, Stevonnie, is both intersex and non-binary. In a recent public service announcement (PSA) on Cartoon Network’s Instagram, Stevonnie flips through their own Instagram while discussing positivity and negativity on social media.

QSFer Mickie B. Ashling has a new MM / intersex / bisexual fantasy book out: A Tangled Legacy. Prince Colin of Sendorra would have been the spare instead of the heir if fate hadn’t intervened.
