Designing Care, Refusing Harm: Feminist Red and Green Lines for AI in Gendered Health
โWhen people are questioning their gender, digital ways to explore different appearances can be extremely important. Games often provide highly customizable avatars, which can help people in exploring how they might want to look.โ

Book Announcement: Genres are social conventions ratified by creators and audiences, and so they are inherently political commitments that express our attachments and antagonisms to the cultural and political systems that organize our relationswith one another, our environments, and the world.
