Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!
During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.
Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.
He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.
However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”
After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!
I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

Had to go to the gynecologist recently because my dysphoria bits have been acting up, ordered more testing but there's not much I can do for the discomfort sounds like aside from baths. For the positive she mentioned yeeting some of the bits right away. Ideal world get rid of them all at once, when I see older people remove some out of necessity the surgery is totally draining and I lack good adult babysitters despite theoretically having like 4, I ran into that with top surgery recovery.
I saved up enough to get a rusty clank for winter and importantly found someone willing to sell me it, even when you have money people aren't so willing to part with their pos one step above scrap that barely runs and I wasted like 3 hrs at a dealer last week for them to throw the deal over a few hundred dollars. Anyway, today's clank drove two hours home and doesn't seem too bad, and I think aside from the rust I or relatives can repair the other things. I always worry about being snowed in and stranded at work, my current car is pretty low to the ground and I barely got around to fixing the heater core this summer, no fun driving in a freezing car when it's 15 below and you get stuck on side roads, especially since I'm a closer and if it snows past 5 or so those roads aren't getting cleared until morning. I'd like to celebrate 'yay new car' and a year or so of effort saving, but really it means whatever tiny bits of spare time I have are going to be playing mechanic and that's for the hope of a reasonable winter car. I have another k or so in reserve to do repairs since the price was a bit cheaper than expected.
That's rough

You think yeeting the bits would solve your medical issues?
Might try a little body weld on a small piece of it and some paint. Neat thing about this clunk is it has youtube videos for all sorts of its issues, downside its hard to get on the bolts since its rusty AF and penetrating oil only does so much. Fixed one faltering component still have two to go.

t would solve all the dysphoric bit immediate related ones, wouldn't solve say kidney issues though. I'm also notably afraid since I hear of older people who got their ovaries removed then losing access to anything hormonal due to economics not fairing so well, then issues with uterine removal makes me more hesitant, especially since I'm not a candidate for immediate bottom surgery due to my pesky kidneys. It bothers me being there, but then the outcomes don't seem very good at this point in time.:::
