  • I’m utterly befuddled by this woman; somehow she hates the idea of trans women so much that she’s now closely allied with Posie Parker, a woman who hates women, hates suffrage, has advocated for the removal of women’s rights for years, and shares closely held opinions from just right of Goebbels.

    Somehow Jo has become so utterly single-minded, she’s paired with the antithesis of all the other things she believes in (and still claims to believe as justification of her anti-trans nonsense).









  • I think you’ve got some wonderful answers here already so I just want to add something that a few points brought to mind.

    In my opinion one can authentically play a trait without playing a diagnosis. A great example of this is Drax in the MCU. He isn’t “the autistic one” he’s the guy with hyper literal interpretation. That autistic (amongst other classes) people relate that and feel seen isn’t because he’s “being autistic” but because he sees things like them; the other characters regard that and it somewhat authentically shows the outcomes one such person might have in these wild tales.

    You can represent elements of neurodivergence without going all in on an ND character that might only serve to entrench stigma.

    I haven’t done a play challenge since the pandemic hit, but the last couple years I did were 25x4 challenges. Same 100 plays, but far more impetus to play new things and to swap and borrow from friends. The one year I did a 10x10 I felt a disconcerting pressure to fill my card, and that led to me not being a very pleasant participant in game nights.
