I'm not sure there's such a thing as "actually trans." It seems like if you wish you were a woman, then... Well... Sounds trans to me.

Are there things you can do related to actual transition? Change your pronouns here? Try saying you are a trans woman instead of wishing you were one?

I think if this just sits as an abstract idea in your head, it's going to be difficult to work through. Putting on the role for a while and seeing how it feels, how you act, what you like and dislike can be really helpful.

It's really okay to be wrong, too. You can look through my post history and see me changing genders like every 15 days. Last time, I said I was a trans girl, but I don't actually think that's true anymore (I think I'm a weirder gender). But... I feel like being in that role was really enlightening. Forgetting my pronouns and then seeing she/her next to my name or having a random internet user refer to me as girl for the first time was like

I guess to sum up, maybe you want to put some of your uncertainty aside and try something? Even if it's just here, it's a safe space, and we'll support you

The way you keep mentioning this book and how it put you out of commission for a month is making it call to me like dark eldritch knowledge.

I wonder what it is and what horrors it holds

Looks like it's actually possible to play as Zelda in this one?

That's cool even though the characters look like Miis

Glad you made it to hexbear!

Your body, your choice

The state department told me North Korea didn't have internet

That's one hell of a leftist meme

Yeah, been seeing f*ggot used a lot

Astrology people used to bug the shit out of me, but now I find it a pleasant way to learn about someone. It's kind of like a gateway to just talk about your personalities for a bit.

I don't believe any of it, but I'll share my sign and (usually) she will make some calls about my likes and dislikes and I'll say what's true or not. Ask her sign and questions about her. See if we'll get along or not.

Idk it's a nice way to just chat, I guess. Prefer it to other small talk. Could make a friend from it, too.

I always like seeing you post!

Stick around

I don't have the resolve to get through this post, but I will tomorrow!

I just wanted to say that your wife is am absolute machine

The hard stuff is what's going to carve you into what you want to be.

Imagine yourself in 10 years giving advice and guidance to the younger transes, explaining how hard it was.

It's been a while Ashina, good to see you back with your signature frenetic bookposting style!

I'm happy that the book bloomerpilled you! Frankly, I think it would be hard to read this one and not feel the same way

Currently, I'm reading "Until I Love Myself" by Poppy Pesuyama. It's about an AFAB NB person as they come to terms with their gender identity. Despite the cute art, it is, in fact, a bit of a suffer fest and deals with things like mental health, self loathing, and SA.

I'll let you know how it is!

It's really sweet and wholesome

For those who are reflexively defensive about anything China related, Chinese state supported media covered this story years ago. Chinese women themselves have been vocal about the creepy shit from this studio and sexism in the industry in general.

Game Science may not have been prepared for all that attention. The day of the trailer’s release, founder and CEO Feng Ji wrote on microblogging platform Weibo: “We’ve been staffing up with new hires, and I’ve been sucked off so many times I can’t get an erection anymore.” Two days later he came back for more, writing, “Watching it (the trailer) made me wet too… My pants are about to burst!”

Soon, internet sleuths had unearthed a pattern of lewd and offensive job postings by the company dating back to 2015. In one of the ads, a mouse cursor is placed over the private parts of a nude woman in a painting. The job advertisements were taken down after the controversy broke, but their sheer crassness drew harsh criticism, including from the country’s female gamers, many of whom had enthusiastically promoted the trailer when it was released.

Is there any way to raise the status of female gamers and reduce sexism in gaming? Any real solution must involve improving the social status of Chinese women in general. But as for what the game industry can accomplish on its own, bringing more female voices in would be a good start. This would hopefully force companies to respect and consider women’s perspectives before making design decisions.

Yes!

Trotsky invented racism.

Thanks.

I though OP made an edit to say she has light skin, but the edit only said she has dark hair.

I edited the comment to remove bad advice.

It's hard, and it's something you need to practice a lot over time. In general learning new skills is difficult to maintain. Especially if you're not interested in the mechanics of voice and sound, it can be a slog.

Unlike doing HRT or hair removal, which we can just do and move on, voice training is something we feel we can fail at. So there's the added anxiety of "I can't do this" or "I'm fucking up so much" or "this isn't actually me" or "this feels like a fake cartoon voice".

It's a looooong process. Trans voice lessons said that your new voice becomes natural when you use it on accident at least 50% of the time. I can't even maintain it for an evening while trying, let alone doing it on accident lol.

All of these factors lead it to be anxiety inducing, imo.

HOWEVER, it's also one of the things you can pretty much practice anywhere, and it's free, so it's a lot more accessible than other things. Also, it's got me interested in singing, and I'm loving it.
