I would simply like to live my quiet little life as a trans woman and buy fruit and sing and walk my dog and wave to my neighbors and watch movies and use restrooms without being the subject of a culture “war” where both political parties agree I’m a disgusting freak who doesn’t deserve civil rights

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

So, in the SAG-AFTRA video game strike of 2016--not the most recent one--SAG-AFTRA attempted to codify residuals to voice actors for games. The game companies--predictably--fought back against that. What was interesting, though, was the behind-the-scenes talk of *why* they fought back. <cont'd>

There are no video games without video game developers. Trillionaire corporations will continue to treat devs as line items on a balance sheet unless we fight back. Join us on August 18th to #SaveGameWorkers, as we rally across nine studios in the US and Canada. More location details to come soon.

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

There are only two choices on the table for the game worker right now: give up or get organized. And giving up repeatedly has only led us to this absolute shitshow, so let's take a look at what organizing really means (uvw-cwa.org, btw)

A Statement from WoWGG-CWA on Today's Layoffs at Microsoft.

Full text:

As the gaming industry shrinks, Microsoft Gaming is uniquely positioned to take responsibility for the pressures it created and agree to much-needed job security measures for game workers.

Disappointingly, leadership has instead decided once again that their mistakes should be paid for by the workers.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Compulsion Games, Double Fine Productions, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs, id Software, Bethesda Game Studios, ZeniMax Online Studios, and all other affected studios today.
