Description

The indie, 8-bit graphic style videogame "When Summer is Over" was so remarkable, and so deeply trans, I had to talk to the lady who made it, CicadaQueenV! We get into why she made it, what she was trying to say with it, and what the response to it has been. Definitely check it out, but heed the content warnings! Videogames can be art! And we can just say "trans," it's not a bad word!
