SLENDER FOR GENDER 2025

The Slender Man Mythos has spawned countless stories featuring the internet boogeyman from 2009 until today, from the original images on the SomethingAwful Forums, to Slenderverse webseries and blogs created by thousands of everyday people. In 2023, Valeria Santiago (Stan Frederick, redredhat) and -k. (hiimarymary) founded the charity event ‘Slender For Gender’ and raised over $13,000 for Trans Lifeline with the help of the Slenderverse community. On the 16th anniversary of the character’s creation, Slender For Gender returned, running from June 10-21st.

Slender For Gender is a charity event run by and for the Slenderverse community in an effort to raise money in support of the transgender community, with all proceeds going to the Trans Lifeline charity.

In Slender For Gender 2025, you could participate in a 25 chapter choose-your-own adventure Slender-story like no other, where four adventurers are chased across time and space by everyone’s favorite tall, faceless monster. Twice daily at the end of each chapter, you can donate to vote on which choice the characters will make, and the most popular choice will dictate what happens in the next chapter. Will they survive? Will they perish in the dark? The choice... is yours.

You could also participate in a page-drawing contest with special prizes, and three livestreams hosted by the organizers of Slender For Gender at https://www.twitch.tv/slender4gender, on June 10, 14, and 21 featuring panel discussions, games, the TTRPG one shot “The Ten Candles of the Crockmire Estate”, and many very special guests...
