Laura Kate Dale
Laura Kate Dale is an English video game journalist, author and activist. She is known for writing about the transgender and autism communities in relation to video games and for her video game industry leaks. Many of her topics tackle accessibility for disabled players and LGBTQ+ representation.
Dale has worked at gaming site Destructoid. Dale was also the news editor for gaming site Kotaku UK for almost two years. She left the position in June 2019 to pursue other projects. She has also written for The Guardian.
Dale is known for her videogame leaks. She leaked the existence of Until Dawn: Rush of Blood in 2015 and the PlayStation 4 Slim in 2016. She also leaked details about the Nintendo Switch and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
Dale was awarded inclusion in MCV's 30 Under 30 list in 2015. The same year she was a finalist for MCV's Games Media Awards 2015 Rising Star. In 2019 she was a finalist for the MCV Women in Games Awards.
Dale has published five books. Her first book is Things I Learned from Mario's Butt: A Series of Gaming Butt Critiques, which was funded on the crowdfunding website Unbound in 2018.
Her second book, a memoir called Uncomfortable Labels: My Life as a Gay Autistic Trans Woman, was published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in 2019.
Her third book, Gender Euphoria: Stories of Joy from Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex Writers, which was crowdfunded through Unbound and exceeded its funding goal, was published in 2021. It was intended as a counterpoint to the focus so often placed on the negative aspects of being trans, such as gender dysphoria, and was instead written "to show the world the sheer variety of ways being non cisgender can be a beautiful, joyful experience".
Dale's fourth book, Who Hunts the Whale, is co-written by her wife Jane Magnet, and being funded through the crowdfunding publisher Unbound. Who Hunts the Whale is Dale's first work of fiction. The website summary reads, "Who Hunts the Whale is a completely fictional, entirely made-up novel set in the imaginary world of the video gaming industry. Written with a gamer's wit and an insider's precision, it holds the real-world business up to a carnival house of mirrors, to give a satirical look at the human cost of a rapacious market that must constantly be fed new content."
