Remembering Rebecca Heineman, video game pioneer and LGBTQ rights advocate
NPR's Ayesha Rascoe looks back at the life of video game and LGBTQ pioneer Rebecca Heineman.
Rebecca Heineman was a trailblazer and used gaming as a platform because so many marginalized people find refuge in gaming, and she put those two things together and fought for all voices - women, trans folks - across the board.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance: Why Our Church Needs to Do More - New Ways Ministry
As we honor the lives we remember today, I believe we are all called to examine whether our Church's witness, in practice, clears pathways for Christ's love to spread or puts up obstacles.
"I propose we honor the lives we remember today by answering the churchβs call to remember the dead by exhorting our church to reconsider its policies, attitudes, and remarks about transgender people, which too often have the overall effect of legitimizing the bigotry that kills."
