  • Your story sounds very familiar to me! I recently came to terms with the fact that I am transgender, so i think i am in a similar place to you right now, or at least i was very recently. When I had my "awakening" it helped me recontextualize a lot of feelings that i didnt even know were there. I played a female character in a Pathfinder game and felt really attatched to her in a way that i hadn"t felt with my male characters. I even has some art commissioned of her that i use as a profile picture, and i use her name as my username on lots of sites (including this one!).

    It made me remember a time in middle school when i was at a birthday party with mostly girls and we had a scavenger hunt at the mall. One of the objectives was to take a picture with a bra on over your clothes, and i quickly volunteered. At the time i thought it was just funny as the only guy in the group, but in retrospect i was very excited to try it on. Ive had a girlfriend give me a full face of makeup and it made me feel really good about myself. Ive been painting my nails and doing nail art for several years. Some of my guy friends paint their nails too, but it was always a different vibe. They would do solid dark colors and i would do bright colors, sometimes with patterns or shapes, and it always felt really nice.

    Throughout all of these experiences i never seriously questioned my gender. It only occurred to me around a month ago that I might actually be a woman, and thay made me recontextualize all of these things years afterward. I'm 26 AMAB and i kind of thought it was too late for me to discover something fundamental about myself like this, but that's not true! It's never too late to be yourself.

    Ultimately nobody can say what gender you are except you, but i feel a lot of kinship with the experiences you have described. I reccomend that you experiment a little, maybe buy some women's underwear to wear under your regular clothes, or if your girlfriend is supportive and you feel safe, try some of her clothes on. The thing that solidified my feelings on the matter was shaving my legs. It was a huge moment of euphoria for me and basically removed any doubt i had.

    I hope you find the answers you are looking for!

  • I always thought it was binoculars, but its definitely a phone in this one. Wtf

  • This comment brings me so much joy đź’•

  • Thank you! I'm definitely in the "i dont know what would suit me" camp, so i'll look into finding some guides.

  • Ive been painting my nails for a few years, so thats definitely part of my repertoire already. Maxi skirts definitely look like a winner! Is there some trick to figure out my size for women's clothes? Im a little intimidated by the idea of shopping in person, but im guessing ill just have to work up the courage and experiment.

  • I tried an electrical razor, but ended up using a regular bladed one. Ive heard of those cremes, but kind of assumed they didnt work very well. I'll have to try that out! Sounds much easier.

  • To be fair, female circumcision is far more horrific than male circumcision. It often involves cutting or burning off the clitoris and is explicitly a method of controling the sexuality of women.

    That said, male circumcision is also bullshit and a violation of bodily autonomy.

  • This is very much not my experience

  • People keep complaining about it, but i am enjoying the shit out of it. Just passed the 100 hour mark, and i havent even touched the faction questlines. I find the exploration very satisfying, the side quests well done and the main story... acceptable. I like the procedural genration, theres no way in hell a game of this scope could exist without it. The ship building is complex and satisfying, the ship combat is also fun, if somewhat basic. It has the same heart and soul as any bethesda game, if you like their other games i would highly reccomend Starfield.

  • I mean, isn't that how most jokes work?

  • Im ~70 hours in and having a blast! I find the exploration satisfying, i love running around scanning things to survey a planet. There are multiple ways to complete most quests, including special dialog choices based on your background, traits and factions. I enjoy the worldbuilding, especially given its the first game in a new IP. The ship building is super nice, but also optional. The game has its flaws of course, i find the outpost mechanics a bit lacking and hard to use. Overall id say like 8.5/10

  • They just want to make their own system. They are publishing board games and stuff too. Their new systems (theres 2 of them) were actually pretty deep in the works before WOTC shit the bed.

  • Its really good. I was familiar with the anime but had never watched beyond the first few episodes and i loved it. I watched with my brother who loves the anime and he agreed. The casting is really good and the heart and soul of the characters are intact.

  • You are definitely right, not sure what this guy is on about.

  • Which stories are being criticized here? I can't think of any examples of this kind of coming of age story.

  • This is a fever dream take lol

  • I love these comics! Konsi is the cutest gobbo and i will die for her :)
