I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

This ruling is an attack on trans women and the trans community. Transgender people are a vulnerable section of the working class and we reject all attempts to dismiss and sideline this ruling as irrelevant to the working class struggle.
