February 18, 2032: transgender rights activist Vanessa McCoy murdered by alt-right militants, sparking the Vanessagate scandal

I decided to look up Vanessa McCoy to see if she was a real person (since she didn't have an asterisk next to her name like the 2048 Green nominees) and found this infobox, and after admiring how pretty McCoy was, discovered the picture used to represent her is that of Zoey Deutch, actress and daughter of Lea Thompson of Back to the Future fame. The age difference between McCoy in 2031 (~33-34) and Deutch in 2017 (when that picture was taken, 22) made me want to make this:

For varying reasons, Deutch is no longer McCoy's faceclaim; that'd be Nicole Maines, who is an actual transgender actress.

That makes sense; Maines makes more sense as the faceclaim too. Still, dermatologists hate her!

They won't hate her as much when they find out that her revised version in We Shall Overcome, my current timeline, was born in 2006.

On one hand, makes sense, but on the other, good God, there are people born during Bush's second term.
