The Trans Games Zine is a project we undertook with a group of trans scholars and game developers to create a digital zine of games and essays, as an alternative to standard modes of academic publishing. From the website:

Every submission to this Zine has undergone what we call “Queer Review.” This is a peer-led developmental and editorial process: there is no centralized editorial review, no external reviewers, and contributors are met with flexible deadlines that are responsive to the multiple and ongoing crises our community faces. Our work together challenges the central tenets of academic publishing in search of a different kind of rigor - one that centers community care and wellbeing, and one that embraces born-digital and multimodal scholarship on transness and games.

With the consultation of the community, we designed and developed a website in the style of a retro CRT operating system, evoking nostalgic memories of an earlier, less commercial era of the internet. Squinky contributed the game You Don't Have To Go Home, But You Can't Stay Here to the first batch of projects, and more are gradually being added as they become available.
