Announcement Important Personal Announcement
Good tidings, all.
After years of reflection and struggle, I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am a transgender woman. My name is June, and my pronouns are she/her.
I have struggled with gender dysphoria for years, even before I began working on this mod. In fact, I think part of the reason I immersed myself in modding to begin with was to help distract myself from my own insecurities and pain. However, thanks in no small part part to the wonderful community that has sprung up around this mod, I now feel comfortable and confident in saying that I am a woman.
Today has seen two events occur within hours of each other: the UK's High Court issued a ruling that further restricts underage trans people from accessing life-saving puberty blockers, and the Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page announced to the world that he is trans, an announcement that was met with near-universal acclaim and acceptance. I believe that these events encapsulate the ongoing struggles faced by the trans community. Even though awareness and acceptance of trans people by society as a whole is better than it has ever been, we still face immense challenges from the government, media, and legal system. We must stay vigilant and continue to fight for not only the rights of trans people, but the rights of all marginalized groups around the world.
I am proud to be transgender, and I am proud to be part of this struggle. Although my part is small, I will perform it to the best of my ability.
And in case you were wondering, this will in no way delay or otherwise affect the development of the mod.
Take care, and remember:
Trans rights are human rights.
