Today is Wear Purple day in Australia- to show gender variant and intersex youth we care.
And we should... among the transgender community alone youth suicide rates are around 45% according to some accounts- with many cases unreported. This is a direct result of how society treats these kids. People should not have to suffer for how they where born.
The wargaming community should be much more aware. Its quite common to use the term transexual as a slur on a poorly sculpted female figure for example- and I already mentioned GWs sins in this department regarding Slaanesh.
Take a moment to visit wikipedia and look up transgender and intersex if you have never heard of these conditions or you still think they are mental disorders. Then perhaps show your support next year with yer paint brush like I have here.
Its a silly little gesture, but the more people know, the better this world will become.
Purple!
