    I saw a link to a game of sorts centered on one woman's journey through hormone replacement therapy.

    It's pretty short, I got to the end in about 10 minutes.

    Keep in mind, she specifically states that this game is "not meant to represent the experience of every trans person."

    Interesting, and quite well-done.

    More "interactive autobiographical art" than a game.

    And it took me longer than it should have understand the title.

    Thank you! Very fun and strangely inspiring to hear some of this person's experience.

    Great find.

    All of this. [Well, not the end, but I do wish the title wasn't so "clever".] I dunno ... I didn't have fun playing it and it didn't make me feel anything unique/new/different. One or two decent uses of the medium but nothing mindblowing or anything. I just thought it was ... kinda there.
    But good at being there.
