Who was Leelah Alcorn

Leelah Alcorn was a 17 year old transgender girl who took her life on December 27th 2014 after writing a chilling suicide note and publishing it on her personal Tumblr page. The note detailed how her parents had pulled her out of school and forced her to attend conversion therapy in an attempt to change her gender identity, which she had been struggling with since as young as four. Conversion therapy, an attempt at brainwashing used to try to change gender identity or sexuality has been acknowledged to cause distress to those subjected to it, and is often forced on transgender youth by unsupportive parents. It is considered by many a form of child abuse that has managed to stay legal across most of the United States, even in 2015. If you have read this far I urge you to go sign the Leelah’s Law petition to ban conversion therapy at this address https://t.co/YrXvTUkzt0

What is JamForLeelah?

JamForLeelah or #JamForLeelah is a month long trans positive game jam to raise awareness on LGBTIQ issues, specifically trans youth issues and Leelah’s Law as well as an attempt to raise money for the Transgender Human Rights Institute. Leelah expressed an intense interest in not only gaming, but game development as well, on both her Tumblr and Reddit accounts, and so an indie game jam felt like a good way to raise awareness for Leelah’s wish for social change in a method she may have liked.

What are the rules for this jam?

Each submission must fit at least one of these requirements and be submitted before Midnight February 17th to be eligible for this jam:

Be primarily centered around trans issues, or other issues related to gender identity. This can be anything from having a trans protagonist to a game about growing up trans or navigating gender identity issues. Please be respectful, as anything that is purposefully disrespectful to the LGBTIQ community, or specifically the trans community, will be removed without hesitation.

Use inspiration from Leelah’s art/music/ideas to primarily create a game, whilst still attempting to raise awareness about trans youth issues and trans representation in the execution of that idea. A small collection of Leelah’s work can be found here.

Be inspired by Leelah’s interests as expressed on her Tumblr e.g. sailor moon, female empowerment, fashion, anime, gaming, etc whilst still attempting to raise awareness about trans youth issues and trans representation in the execution of that idea. Leelah’s Tumblr can be accessed via a backup here.

For any other questions regarding the Jam, please tweet or DM @JamForLeelah
