There are currently >100 pieces of legislation targeting trans people – particularly trans youth – being considered throughout the United States. Five states have already passed some into law.
Unequivocally, lives are at stake. The suicide rate among transgender teens is one of the highest in the world — 85% of transgender teens have seriously considered suicide, and over half have attempted it. We're seeing it happen in real-time in states where bans have already been passed, like Arkansas.
My games are all free or Pay What You Want, but to do what little I can to help trans folk and to fight anti-transgender legislation around the country, I'll be donating 110% of any sales that come my way through the end of May to the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (TLDEF), who among many services work on impact litigation to protect the rights of transgender and non-binary people.
If you'd prefer to make a direct donation to TLDEF or any other org/charity/gofundme focused on uplifting and helping trans people, please feel to message me on Twitter at @biggayuniverse to let me know what you contributed, and I'll add 10% to my end-of-May donation.
