Image description: four panel comic First panel shows hands holding a game boy with Pokemon Professor Oak saying "now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" Second panel shows a masculine presenting individual holding the game boy saying "Haha!, but of course I'm a ..." Third panel has the same person with a shocked expression. Fourth panel has the same person now presenting stereotypically fem in a pink top and a skirt, staring in the mirror with a tear of joy on her face.
No recognition for our fellow enbies. Oh yeah and GNC people as well. May seem silly to criticize them for that until you realize how long the Pokemon company has held out on Nonbinary recognition.
I always picked the girl, my friends in elementary where pretty confused about that, that was also the time where I thought it was completely normal for cis guys to want to be women
"Who wouldn't want to be a woman in the patriarchy???"
Haha after I explained myself to my dad he said all guys want to be a woman..that's what I thought too dad.
my rival is called Butts (a very funny name)
No way, that's the guy from Final Fantasy V
It's not 2024 proper, but I'm pretty sure that I named my rival, "removed" every single time.
Lemmy World's word filter doesn't like that one, lol.
I didn't know there was a filter.
Try and reformulate your sentences to circumvent the filter. Somehing like this can help, replaces the words with lookalike characters. Zalgo might also break it.
why not BOY removed?
As a kid I went with "douche" which was the style at the time
I always go with "Asshat"
I played Baldur's Gate 1 as a halfling called Jizzme.
If only breaking the egg were that easy, young me was so stubborn and in denial it took going through fuck ton of pain and crippling gender dysphoria to finally make me understand and stop being stupid.
If you wanted to crack your egg, you ought simply to have walked between 1280 and 10240 steps, depending on your egg group.
But seriously, same. I knew I was trans as a teen but I stuck it out pretending to be cis until my 30s "for an easy life".
Oh yeah. I remember lots of stupid excuses. Like that I didn't want to be trans because it was hard, or saying that I was a boy because I have a dick. Some of them were really stupid excuses. I once said I didn't want to be a girl because if I was trans I couldn't do sports. I don't even like sports and was never good at them, that was pure cope.
In my case there was only ever the one excuse, which is that I thought the pain of being a social outcast (I'm never gonna pass) would be worse than the pain of dysphoria. I knew trans people and thought: "Damn, they must have been in a lot of pain. Unlike me; I'm only in a bearable amount of pain. I hardly want to unalive myself at all except sometimes."
I would prefer a society which leaves gender expression to the individual, without demanding people to fit arbitrary (and, therefore, changing) cultural norms.
