You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

I honestly have never considered switching from Google Pixel phones until they sent me a "wanna celebrate destroying the lives of trans people" as a system update.

Many of you might be interested in organizing LUNCH at work. LUNCH is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can in fact do it right now, especially if you find yourself suddenly having fewer coworkers to invite out to LUNCH. Others who have gone for LUNCH are very happy to advise

I really could use some more useful feedback. I've only got two sets of feedback and this is one of them. The Playtest is still active - and will continue to be for a bit now. If I get no more feedback the only thing I'll have to assume is that my game is perfect and has no issues.

Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.

A reminder, if you're cisgender like myself and don't agree with the persecution of a minority, there are things you can do. Sign petitions. Donate to fundraisers and LGBTQ+ charities. Write to your MP expressing your position. Show solidarity to your trans friends and check in with them often.

Do Not Engage. The UK media are not in the business of presenting subcultures and minorities in a positive or even sympathetic light. If you are in any way outside the mainstream you are a potential target for the next moral panic.

Rise of social media bans is a blunt force that will harm LGBTQIA+ children, especially in rural areas
