And get this: you can be a woman AND be jealous of women… at the same time! Just kidding, it is amazing :3

Ah yes, I know it well. The “I’m only into cute shit ironically” → “I’m secure enough in my masculinity to dress in pink” → “I’m a girl” pipeline.

Euphoria-to-effort ratio is pretty damn good for nails!

And the rest of the body is what dysphoria hoodies are for :3

Hey, that’s cool! (Debian nerd here). I mostly just use sidetone in my headphones to get feedback though.

Hmm. Many years of thinking “hurr hurr I wish I was a lesbian”, and I never thought to ask myself why.

Sure, you get to date girls.

But also…? Come on, past me, you’ve almost got it…

if one is self-referring as an egg, they’re obviously trans

Not sure I agree with that. An egg, as I understand it, is someone who is still questioning, or hasn’t started yet, so it’s presumptive to assume that they’re trans and in denial. And while being scared or in denial about possibly being trans is technically transphobia, I think it’s a bit unfair to lump them in with the foaming-at-the-mouth trans-hating crowd.

OTOH, yes, nobody should be calling you an egg but yourself. Preferably in the past tense <3

Never mind the tits, give me some of whatever is causing that hair! Actually, wait. Tits as well.

🥵

I love her comics <3

Maybe not obvious, but those all sound like signs to me! But that’s the thing about denial, right? I’d put everything down to intrusive thoughts, and if you asked me any time up to the day my egg cracked, I’d have been convinced that I’d never wanted to be a girl.

I’m not trying to suggest that your experience was anything other than you say, of course. It just sounded very familiar!

The endless cycle of “not trans² enough to be trans²”. (Echoes of What the Tortoise Said to Achilles for the math geeks)

Same for me, too. Although on reflection, certain things like practicing tucking to resemble female genitals, offering to present a school event in drag, and praying to wake up as a girl, may not have had entirely cis motivations.

I also assumed that my complete failure to fit in at an all-boys school was just due to being a nerdy kid.

It took me a while to understand this comic when I first saw it, but I get it now.

For the longest time I just dismissed the possibility of being trans, because obviously I wasn’t. Would sure have been nice to have been born a girl, though…

Fortunately even the strongest denial eventually withers after hearing Actual Trans People talking about their experiences which were exactly like mine. Gee, funny that.

All I can say is I’m glad I figured myself out before playing this game. I think I’d have missed a lot otherwise. Still haven’t finished Core, but working on it…

Ah yes, the very cis “I wish I was trans” thoughts…

Aww, she drank all the girl juice. Leave us some!

It do be like that.

You’re right, and thanks, although one label was a lot easier for me to accept than the other!

(This all happened several months ago, btw)

Turns out I was a tamagotchi all along.

Incidentally, I started voice training a while before my egg cracked: “I’m only here to learn how to voice female NPCs better.”

Unsurprisingly, that was not the reason.
