as a trans person, can you not call everything that inconveniences you as a trans person transphobic? You’re devaluing the actual struggles we have to face with “i can’t play video game because of transphobia :(”. Besides, there are ways to go around the region lock, just Google the “transphobia” away
can you not call everything that inconveniences you as a trans person transphobic?
No. Drag is sick to death of being so far away from drag’s family. Drag is sick of a society that won’t accept drag, and only being able to find partners through discord. Cishet people have it so easy, it’s not fair. And along comes Steam, “A family is a group that lives in the same home”. No! Get your heteronormative nuclear family bullshit out of drag’s video games. Drag plays games to get away from patriarchal politics, and Steam goes shoving them into their new features and deprecating the old. They should have focus tested this change. Anyone in a long distance relationship could have told them this was a bad move. This move comes from Valve employees being brainwashed by society into seeing a family as what the white patriarchy says a family is. Drag has spent drag’s entire life, as a gay person, being excluded from the white concept of family. We barely even have equal marriage rights. This is a symbolic issue of a lifelong struggle.
Trans families are less likely to live in the same economic region. Statistically, this is taking features away from trans people moreso than cis people. Transphobia isn’t an intention, it’s a consequence.
No it doesn’t. It’s called systemic bigotry. You see it in critical race theory. The system is set up to disadvantage minorities, such that innocent decisions go on to harm minorities too.
Now that Donald Trump is the next president, you’ll see a LOT of trans people fleeing the US who leave family behind. Steam used to offer trans people fleeing persecution the ability to share games with their family at home. It’s a horrible coincidence in timing that Steam deprecates this feature on the same day many trans people realise they have to flee the country or die.
It’s a creative way to live life. More power to you.
Which gaming service will you be moving to that supports global game sharing? Actually, what other game service supports sharing at all? I think steam is alone
Since epic doesn’t allow any game sharing, it’s epic more transphobic than steam? Or less transphobic than steam? Because they’re not taking away something they never offered
Drag still prefers Steam over Epic, because of Epic’s horrible record of monopolistic and anticompetitive business practices. However, drag doesn’t have to choose, because you know who does let family share games for free? Fitgirl.
Epic is less transphobic than steam because they never offered any game sharing, steam is more transphobic than epic because they have offered family game sharing… By extension of that logic that means … Offering an extra service like library sharing with family, is transphobic
It’s unusable for drag. Drag’s family all live in a different country. This change is transphobic.

drag, go touch grass. Seeing every minor inconvenience as a personal attack of the heteronormative patriarchy can’t be good for you
and again - I’m telling you this for the third time, you can go around the region lock.
How?
look it up
your discord role play friends are not your family
Why do you say it’s transphobic? It is not based on sexuality at all. Simply on economic regions

Transphobia requires intention
No it doesn’t. It’s called systemic bigotry. You see it in critical race theory. The system is set up to disadvantage minorities, such that innocent decisions go on to harm minorities too.

Probably less so
Drag still prefers Steam over Epic, because of Epic’s horrible record of monopolistic and anticompetitive business practices. However, drag doesn’t have to choose, because you know who does let family share games for free? Fitgirl.
Epic is less transphobic than steam because they never offered any game sharing, steam is more transphobic than epic because they have offered family game sharing… By extension of that logic that means … Offering an extra service like library sharing with family, is transphobic
No, Epic is less transphobic because they said protect trans kids and Steam didn’t.
I’d say it’s a stretch to call it transphobic just because of that. Unless you can actually back it up with evidence of intent from valve.
