I cannot even tell you how disappointed I would be if the only Conan story to be fully canon to the films (even if it happened off-screen) was Conan of the fucking Isles

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
