I spoke with @iammattsanders.bsky.social about RRD's decision to not attend this year's Gen Con, which he says is primarily based on the safety of the team. RRD are one of the most prominant names to drop their attendance, and one of the most vocal about it.

And more, they should be confused by that idea. "Sex is biological", thanks but there are XXY folks, who are WAY more common than one in a million. They're 2 in a thousand. There are intersex people. XXY. Mosaicism. Maybe don't make laws about biology if you're ignorant of it.
