Want to be a better ally but not sure where to start? Here are 4 things you could start doing right now: 1.) Speak up for trans rights. If you are a games studio, use your social platforms to support your trans employees. Visibility and allyship from cis people is more important than ever.

We are standing with our trans friends, colleagues, and community, and will continue to strive to create inclusive spaces for people of all genders within Limit Break. @outmakinggames.bsky.social has offered guidance, resources, & further information here: www.outmaking.games/open-letter-...
