Trans families are less likely to live in the same economic region. Statistically, this is taking features away from trans people moreso than cis people. Transphobia isn’t an intention, it’s a consequence.
No it doesn’t. It’s called systemic bigotry. You see it in critical race theory. The system is set up to disadvantage minorities, such that innocent decisions go on to harm minorities too.
Now that Donald Trump is the next president, you’ll see a LOT of trans people fleeing the US who leave family behind. Steam used to offer trans people fleeing persecution the ability to share games with their family at home. It’s a horrible coincidence in timing that Steam deprecates this feature on the same day many trans people realise they have to flee the country or die.
It’s a creative way to live life. More power to you.
Which gaming service will you be moving to that supports global game sharing? Actually, what other game service supports sharing at all? I think steam is alone
Since epic doesn’t allow any game sharing, it’s epic more transphobic than steam? Or less transphobic than steam? Because they’re not taking away something they never offered
Drag still prefers Steam over Epic, because of Epic’s horrible record of monopolistic and anticompetitive business practices. However, drag doesn’t have to choose, because you know who does let family share games for free? Fitgirl.
Epic is less transphobic than steam because they never offered any game sharing, steam is more transphobic than epic because they have offered family game sharing… By extension of that logic that means … Offering an extra service like library sharing with family, is transphobic

Transphobia requires intention

Probably less so

No, Epic is less transphobic because they said protect trans kids and Steam didn’t.
That just means epic is more performative, it doesn’t mean steam is transphobic
Yes. Steam’s lack of focus testing for the new family sharing is what shows their insensitivity to trans issues.
I’d say it’s a stretch to call it transphobic just because of that. Unless you can actually back it up with evidence of intent from valve.
