I like your hair and your plants. And everything else about your post, but those are what grabbed my attention first.

I used to play tf2 back when I was in college, although not to the level of my friend who played competitive 6s for some time. I was best at medic and demo, which is probably why to this day (although I stopped playing when ow2 came out) my most comfortable overwatch heroes were mercy and junkrat.

My SO and I occasionally play Stardew together, and I want to play it in an archipelago game at some point, but might try one solo first to get a feel for how the game plays randomized.

Holy shit you’re literally me but you’ve figured out skirts and tops 💖

I still have scarring from the severe acne I had as a teen and it makes it really hard to wear clothes that expose my shoulders, so I totally feel you. Although I am far more confident in a dress now than I ever was in a man’s bathing suit!

I will say though that from these photos you can’t really tell - you’re looking quite good! (Even if you think you’re cheating with the angles or lighting!)

Also keep in mind that a large majority of the books were ghost written so that had something to do with how sometimes the books felt weird or off compared to the rest of the series that would be why.

But yeah there was an inordinate amount of detail about the transformations and then when it came time for some things it was extremely detail light.

Thinking about it now these were shelved in my libraries kids section, which now kind of horrifies me, but I’m sure I was reading them in grade school.

💜 you are special and loved

I find myself continuously explaining to people how much of a benefit youth sports can be (soccer referee here) and how playing with your peers can be a really good form of mental growth and stability, and denying that to individuals because their outward appearance doesn’t match their gender causes irreparable harm during a child’s most formative years.

The chance that someone loses a scholarship to a trans child is infinitesimally small and the harm that is being caused to trans children through exclusion is guaranteed. The “think of the children” argument only works when you don’t include the trans child themselves in the equation. Otherwise the choice is simple.

That’s exactly why I’m NB (and why my pronouns are they/any) - gender as a social construct is dumb. However, everyone should be able to express themselves however they want in the way that makes them the happiest.

Apple I’m so happy for you and I wish you the absolute best

💖

I absolutely love that color hair on you! Makes you absolutely glow

💜

This is as safe of a place as any. Better to celebrate in a safe community vs feeding imagery to a mega Corp…

No such thing as being late here when you’re cute

I love your hair!

Thank you! 💜

💜 I’m proud of you

My SO bought the dress for me off of Amazon of all places. I’ve not found anything else like it. It’s still the only dress I own myself because I haven’t found anything else that fits me (not physically but emotionally 😂). Thank you so much for the compliments 💜

Your pronoun usage is perfectly fine! I’ve waffled between they/them and any/all, but I have ended up compromising on they/any as a reminder to whoever understands that while I may prefer they that I’m going to respond to you no matter how you refer to me as long as you’re respectful and I can tell you’re talking about me.

Personally I think that gender as a social construct is dumb and so I’m choosing in my own way to show that (hence NB even though I’m choosing to dress more femme). And I will fight to the death to allow my brothers and sisters to express themselves however they want to.

Thank you for the warm welcome 💜 I’ve technically been out to myself for about 2 years now and I was mentally preparing myself to be publicly out but then the election happened and I got scared (even though I’m in a trans friendly state) so at this point I’m only out to a handful of people irl, not even my family (who I think would be confused but accept me, but I’m not sure they’d be able to keep it a secret which is why I’ve hesitated coming out to them). I told myself that it’d be easy enough to hide using my “cis male privilege” until I felt like I (and therefore my SO and family) wouldn’t be in danger by being out publicly, and instead I’ve been doing my best to help out others who are in their journey. Y’all inspire me so much - I feel like a fraud when I lurk in these spaces 😂

My city celebrates pride during July so it’s right on time still

I have a guy whose house is like this except he also has a Ukraine flag hung unironically on his house next to all the maga Trump flags, and it breaks my brain when I try to think about it.

My friends are now into running archipelago randomizer worlds so I’ve been playing Pokemon Emerald and Fire Red together with my friends who are playing Tunic and Satisfactory.

Super pleased with how smoothly archipelago works and how much effort modders have put in to keep it that way.

I am considering buying factorio to play as well. It’s so much fun to add a multiplayer aspect to single player games while also essentially adding infinite replayability because every game is different.
