quote
  • "When we see real characters in film, TV, games that are made with care that just show trans people as we actually are and not the stereotypes of the past, everyone who plays the game will have the opportunity to be a trans person, even in this tiny, little, small way, even in the context of a game." (en)
  • "Yes, there's violence and childhood trauma and parental abuse and misgendering and ignorant bigots who point guns at you. But there's also Tyler's brief flirtation with an alternative name, which is treated as the totally normal and understandable thing it is, to 'men smell bad' - a sentiment probably shared between those moving away and those moving towards manhood."
