I’ll take anything i can get! It’s easy to look at your peers and think they’ve all got it together so well, but i know I’m comparing my private experience to others’ public one and that’s never a fair comparison.

Also I adore dorky early transition fashion, it’s always so cute to see people finding themselves!

Hey good luck with your game. Indie game dev is how I met the majority of my queer and trans friends, it’s been an incredibly safe and welcoming space for me. More queer game devs please!

Relatable

The biggest step is self-acceptance. Congratulations and I’m proud of you!

Congratulations girl!

Keep em guessing! Video game character creators are such useful gender playgrounds I think.

I know right!?!?!? <3

Yeah basically, as best i can with what I’ve got to work with! I’m still early in transition, im very much looking forward to getting closer and closer to the woman I’ve wanted to be my whole life.

That I don’t hate myself.

Irish people use the contraction when the “have” is possessive. “I’ve a new dress” is a perfectly usual thing to say in Ireland.

Hell yeah.

Someone pointed out to to me that I’d basically been making the same woman every time. Just as close to that woman as each game would let me. Turns out I was trying to make myself this whole time.

I haven’t actually played a game with a character creator recently but I think maybe now I might be more interested in playing as other women, that aren’t me.

Came across a really cool musician who’s name was an unusual feminization of my deadname and I liked it.

Are you me? Gosh it’s like I’m reading a comment I wrote and forgot about!

The movie that cracked me.

That’s totally fair. It must be a lot sometimes.

You’re a huge part of making this place what it is so thanks for being here and posting.

I’ll keep trying, i really appreciate your supportive words. <3.

Well my GP told me that they will not help in any way except to refer me to a GIC so I can wait 2 years just to be seen then fight for my life through a gauntlet of gatekeepers. So fuck that. I did find a drug harm prevention group in my city that does monthly free blood testing for trans folks on HRT so that is my next stop. Idk if they will do the full range of tests that’s required to get started with Imago though so it might end up having to be DIY. But at least there’s a way i can monitor myself.

In this context means “notice that someone is trans”.
