UK folks you need to pound the f*cking doors of your parliament reps if this nasty thing gets to them. This MUST BE the line. It is the right to a public existence- INCLUDING for people who aren't trans. Imagine having to carry your birth certificate on you at all times to take a piss. Full fascism.

Service providers will be told to ask for birth certificates and interrogate service users to discover their "biological sex".

The guidance also ban trans men from female toilets on the basis that their presence would cause "alarm or distress".

🧛🏼‍♀️Last exclusive listen of the Draculesti soundtrack! This one is extra special as it isn’t featured in the demo version of the game. Full of lightness and pizzi strings, this one features warm woodwind tones. Enjoy🎻🎶

"Jonny's Theme" - Drăculești OST

A mellow tune, for a laid back man. Or so he says.

Finally, a rarity - this one isn't in the demo 🎵 Drăculești's music is composed by

thoughts about Renfield 🏳️‍⚧️

Q: I'm so thrilled to see a trans male character as the player character! We rarely get any representation in media, nevermind as a player. I was already extremely excited to play the game when it drops, but now I'm going completely feral about it!

A: thank you! Most of our team is somewhere under the trans masc umbrella (some nonbinary, some trans guys) and Renfield being a trans guy was an important part of our original decision to make the game at all.

A: When we started in 2019, it was post-Dream Daddy and in the lead up to Tell Me Why, and while I can't speak for everyone, I was kind of frustrated that a lot of trans masc rep in games was focused on characters who were squarely morally good. It was clearly driven by a desire to educate and win over other demographics, which is a noble cause, but it felt pretty stifling looking out at a landscape of games where the model for trans masculinity was one where pretty much every character had to be an ambassador rather than just A Guy.

Renfield comes from a place of wanting to see more trans masc characters who are allowed to be flawed humans AND leading men at the same time. He's not here to be perfect, sometimes he's not even here to be good, but he's here and he's doing his best to survive. Since that's all most of us can do! Let's wish him luck out there.
