I suspect that Alyx Vance not being white also breaks the immersion for them, but they can’t say that without being modded.

I play games to not be me, so I can’t understand that mentality.

Wasn’t sure where else to put this, but it’s a long and thoughtful article about transvisibility and related problems, especially for working class trans people of color:

So what do you think it means when the Repubs try to put up an LGBTQ rights bill? Even if it is incomplete and kinda sucky, it might suggest that they are starting to think that alienating the entire community and those who love them is perhaps not the winning issue they thought it might be?

I think that they’re trying to derail actual equality.

It’s a way to stop any bill from going forward.

Honestly, I suspect it may be some of both. “How can we keep being assholes without so much looking like assholes?”

They want to divide the community so that when it doesn’t pass - they can say it wasn’t them.

And they get to weaken the community through that division. We’ve seen this many times. In PA they said they could support a bill without public accommodations for trans people- divided the community and got some orgs to support this “compromise” and the Dems.

Then they just said no.

After all, consistent messages about imaginary people don’t matter. (Because Poe’s law applies, I know transpeople exist. It’s TERF/FARTS who fail to recognize this as reality).

Also TERFs: Hormones are so powerful that even women born as such but who have high testosterone shouldn’t be allowed to compete athletically.
