YOU ARE A BEAST
YOU ARE A BEAST is a barely playable microgame about existing as a trans person in a hostile world. It is informed by my experiences as a trans woman living in the UK. It was written as part of TRANS FUCKING RAGE JAM, and owes a lot to the combined voices of everyone in that community. I want to extend a special thanks to stargazersasha for her incredible organising efforts! If you are trans, you have my express permission to download this game without paying!  That said, tips are always appreciated <3 If you are cis, YOU MUST PAY FOR THIS GAME! I'd say I don't make the rules, but in this case I literally did. Bite me. [content warnings for this game: descriptions of gore and suffering, themes of transphobic violence]
