To celebrate the funding of their new album, the musical dream team of Aubrey Turner (she/her) and Laser Malena-Webber (they/them), a.k.a The Doubleclicks, have released an incredible single that also acts as a tribute to gender identity and video games. Not cool enough for you? Well, what if I told you this project was written and brought to life by 16 non-binary, trans and genderqueer artists? Because that’s pretty freaking cool (read all about the artists here!).

I’m Winning is a song inspired about Laser’s experience with their non-binary gender identity. The music video features the wonderful song as a group of four non-binary heroes battle evil and save the day. They also get to explore the various video game worlds/styles they are drawn in. These styles reference games we all know and love like Pokémon and Mario Kart and dating sims. There’s even a healthy dose of Steven Universe vibes and who doesn’t love Steven Universe? It’s a delightful video that you need to watch.
