Jennifer Diane Reitz (born December 30, 1959) is an American writer, webcomic author, and game designer.[1] She is known for the website Happy Puppy, which she opened with her partners, Stephen P. Lepisto and Sandra Woodruff,[2] and with whom she created the video game Boppin'.[3] Reitz has also done game work for Interplay.[4]
On February 14, 1995 Reitz and her partners launched the game website Happy Puppy where they posted game demos.[5] For a period of time, the website was the most visited game website on the Internet and had about 2.5 million downloads per month during 1996,[6] the same year Happy Puppy was acquired by Attitude Network.[2] The website later went offline in 2006. Reitz writes game reviews and co-founded a family company, Accursed Toys.[7][8]
Reitz is a trans woman[9] and the founder of the site Transsexuality (transsexual.org), a site with general information on transsexualism that hosts the COGIATI (COmbined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory) test.[10] The test has been criticized for relying on stereotypical views of gender; it assumes, for example, that a lack of interest in mathematics is a feminine trait.[11]
