I cannot stress this enough. If you are a woman in games, you are being screwed over.

Oh, and one of the companies that headhunted me for lead cinematics modeler as a male, turned me down instantly as a female for a junior art director role- I had 8 years experience as art director.

Just in case you think our industry is woke. It pretends to be.

Incidentally, I still need to eat and pay rent amidst this bullshit. Commission slots open for friday onwards if you want some assets made by an industry veteran who made the mistake of having breasts

Already getting abusive messages from dudes. Thanks. That's really helping prove my point.

I am intersex, and decided to transition from presenting male to female. I figured, my industry is very lefty and cool, this should be okay. I may lose a few friends and contacts but on the whole my experience should carry me forward. Nope.

Of course ontop of all this, it isn't like I can now travel to work. Is America safe for trans/intersex people? Can I get insurance without outing myself? Dubai is out, Singapore was out last I checked (I used to go there all the time to do seminars and masterclasses). Yay

So all in all, I am very dissapointed in my industry. It talks a good game, but the bugs are readily apparent when you switch player skins.

Do better. There is a massive talented, experienced woman and non binary workforce and you are passing us over and treating us like we are invisible.

Yes. I absolutely had privilege. Yes. I knew I would lose privilege. No. I had no idea the full extent. No. Women are not making it up when they tell you the way they are ignored, undermined, talked over and passed over.

Women and NB game devs are in general wonderful to each other in building community, mentoring and reaching out. That is not where the problem lies.

No, I am not trying to guilt people into hiring me. I am just scribbling highlighter over a BIG problem.

Thank you so much for the generous Ko-fi donations. That's food and transport for the week sorted.

Just to clarify, I don't think I am *entitled* to a job. No, I am *qualified* for a job. Just like I was four years ago. Only now I have to deal with men who think me being upset with inequality somehow equals me feeling entitled. Go get a *cheaper* haircut, you jerk.

I ran one art department for 7 years. I wrote the first official game artist curriculum in Australia (AIE). I wrote design docs for 3dsmax when I was at Autodesk. I visited major film studios to train them in Mari. I was special guest on stage at the SIGGRAPH 3dmsax launch.

I redesigned The Skaarj for Unreal. I helped design the Bigworld toolset which pioneered non barycentric morph targets, cross blended normal map wrinkles and jitter blending over anims to break up run cycles. Now it's "we don't think you would enjoy it here"

Not even a job interview, just an email straight off the bat telling me how they think I will feel. Let that sink in. I am being told how they think I feel and turned down before they have even met me or asked me any questions.pic.twitter.com/c1lH7gHffs

Did I miss the update where wiring unreal shader networks must be done with a penis? I have a wacom pen. That's... kind of similar? I can go get some tape or something.

Oookay, on that note I am going to bed. Have fun humans.

A few clarifications: 1. This post is to highlight the bullshit of meritocracy because my merit hasn't changed. The perception of my merit has. This is for all women and NBs. 2. Yes, I am intersex- which means doctors classify me as falling between male and female.

2b. It seems some people are still unclear on what intersex means... here is my breakdown:https://twitter.com/delaneykingrox/status/995525175255879682?s=19 …
