So she's real rough, but I managed to end my loooooong painting dry spell and get some paint on this Nova. He's a Silverroot Keshik Nova, my partner's favourite mech that she discovered through the games - the way she got into the setting.

When I was just starting to dip my toes into Battletech beyond a passing interest, I first encountered a handful of raging bigots... only to be very quickly swept up into a queer-inclusive discord. And I'm proud to say I now *run* that discord, and we're over a thousand members strong. Seyla!

Whilst Cis myself, the LGBTQ+ gaming community, and the Trans community in particular, have long been staunch allies and supporters I do not deserve, but I do my best to reciprocate, and ensure my spaces are safe and welcoming to them, while actively hostile to bigots.

As a trans woman that's into #Battletech, I have been grateful at the welcoming space my local gaming store has fostered for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.
And the guys I play with there are excited that there's another individual that wants to play Battletech with them.

This is a great read. BattleTech (mentioned in the article) has a ton of trans players and I'd say the vast majority of fandom likes it just fine or, at worst, doesn't care one way or the other because it's more folks to play with.
