So I love how I mentioned to the Etsy seller that I was a trans woman and that I was excited to actually build my wardrobe and suddenly her Etsy shop has been taken down.

Nice. 🏳️‍⚧️

This fucking bums me the fuck out. I was seriously prepared to pay $500+ in tailored clothing but apparently my money's no good there.
As much as I would like to gaslight myself and creatively come up with all of the reasons why the shop might've been taken down I can't.

She was exceptionally responsive to all of my questions and then hours after I mentioned about my being trans the shop goes down.
But you know what, fuck them. I'm moving back to New York City, I'll find a fashion designer that can get me a similar look, but won't be supporting the business of a bigot.

Re: #ActivisionBlizzard Lawsuit

If you are a cisgender white man in the game industry do not let yourself end your participation with a tweet of "Gosh industry needs to change."

⚔️ You. Change it today. ⚔️

An inexhaustive list of ACTIONABLE ways to tip this power imbalance:
- share your salary / stock options with marginalized people of color, gender and women who you already know

If sharing directly feels too vulnerable, share anonymously here:

- Carve out an hour out of each month for mentorship in your field for marginalized people of color, gender and women who you already know or through platforms like these:

Empathy is a highly technical skill using expert levels of situational awareness, non verbal communication +cross cultural knowledge taking into account inequities based on intersections of marginalization of gender, sex, queerness, race, Socio-economic background to name a few.
Do NOT undersell your fluency in Empathy.

Empathy has been routinely disregarded directly out of its association with women cause mysogyny.

Empathy is a super weapon. Without it all communication is ineffective and useless.
If you cannot care to understand the WHY behind a thing, you cannot authentically exist in a dialogue with the other.

In design/software there is a concept of User Stories.

They form the bulk of task management communication.

Remember it is absolutely ok and necessary to unplug.

This news can retraumatize and you can absolutely step away and take care of your immediate needs.

We won’t let this news die down. I won’t at least.

Please care for yourself and if you need emotional support please DM.
If I can listen, make space, witness or just talk about anything else with you I’m 100% here and available. Bandwidth might be tight as I’m in the middle of prepping for a cross country move to NYC but I can make time.

DMs are open.
This industry IS changing. There are more women owned studios than ever before.

I as a public hyper visible pre-HRT trans woman of color got her first game industry job just this April 2021 which was full time, salaried with stock options and wasn’t lowballed.

January 2021.

I was heartbroken, depressed and feeling entirely hopeless.

Was borrowing $$$ to be able to pay rent well into March + this was deeply triggering in itself as I’ve survived through repeat housing insecurity from the day I was born and my mom slept on the street.
Fast forward to July 2021, I’ve got a full time job in the game industry making more money than I’ve ever had, full benefits, perma remote, am involved in multiple exciting projects around the game industry and will be moving back home to Brooklyn NYC.
This is hot on the heels of 8 years of minimum wage jobs in seattle, constant daily micro aggressions and a general feeling of lack of direction and focus in life.

Fuck it.

My real pronouns are She / Her
I can't adequately describe how terrifying it is to tweet that as someone who's just moved, been out of work for months, left an abusive relationship and in general has just lived a live on the margins of actual economic survival.
To all my Trans family, I'm sorry it took me this long. To every man that's ever joked about queerness with a hint of violence, I remember you.
