From indie gems to mainstream titles, trans developers and gamers are reshaping the industry, making room for stories that reflect our lives and experiences. This week, Imara looks into the power of trans expression and representation in video games. First, she sits down with Charlotte A. McGrath to explore the intersection of gaming and comedy, digging into how they both create opportunity for connection and expression. Charlotte shares how she discovered she was trans by playing Zelda and what it was like to come out in a post-Gamergate world. Then, Imara speaks with games critic Willa Rowe about the evolving landscape of trans storylines and characters, the challenges the industry still faces, and her favorite trans games.
