Some recommendations:

Recommended Reading (entry from a college-level textbook, ~ 1,000 words): Queer|Keywords for Disability Studies by Tim Dean (NYU Press)

Recommended viewing: Transphobia: An Analysis | Philosophy Tube October 12, 2018 (~ 24 minutes, with content warnings for discussions of transphobia, biphobia, and homophobia [in order to debunk them]) and Sex Work | Philosophy Tube May 17, 2019 (~44 minutes, with content warnings for [discussion of] police violence and sexual violence, but not graphic -- suitable for high school classrooms)

The man behind Philosophy Tube got his first Masters degree in Philosophy, and after the UK raised the price of university tuition, decided to share what he learned in his studies for free on YouTube. He got his second Master's degree in acting, and is a classically trained Shakespearean Actor. He combines both these skills in his videos, which are part lecture, part cinema, which is why they tend to run longer than average -- but they also go by fast, in my experience (like, faster than mainstream stuff done by PBS, for example.

His politics is Leftist/Marxist, and a lot of his videos are also funny. These two are the ones that most closely align with the interests of this community, though.
