I just got "ma'am"'d in the wild in the highest difficulty setting yet (jogging orc mode) I am gonna live off of this through at least the rest of the month
I don't understand the nuances of the current main story enough to form a valid opinion but yeah everything here is just off. Ironically, I'm somewhat lucky in that I long ago came to terms with the fact that my experience here is basically just talking to myself & occasionally a couple other people
so like I can continue just talking to myself & occasionally a couple other people who I generally know IRL anyway, or I can just I dunno get a journal. I'd do the thing where I give out my discord etc but there is not much point to that
When I got my invite code late last spring I desperately wanted to become part of the community that sprung up on here. It seemed like so many people were welcomed into a larger trans community for the first time & I wanted that but for whatever reason it didn't happen.
It probably didn't happen for most other people too it's just that I didn't see their posts & they didn't see mine so it seemed like it was just me. Just as well though I suppose since the most popular people from that era mostly turned out to be bad people.
Still, it has been nice to have a place that is overwhelmingly trans, and I've learned & discovered a lot of things from here that I probably wouldn't have otherwise. It's also been hard to square all that with the fact that the experience of this website seems to drive away Black people.
I still doomscroll more than I should but I interact/follow stuff less than I used to (like I know almost all of the lore from 2023 for some reason despite not being an active participant) so I rarely know what the current discourse is, which is just as well.
There is no point to this thread (as again I'm only really talking to myself), I guess I should put more effort into finding community IRL, although I'm not sure where to start (trans night at WT kinda feels like here in a lot of ways TBH)
The all-trans-women-team at the bonspiel last month was an overwhelmingly positive experience, even after my brain went back to condemn every thing I said or did, as always; it was probably my first experience of unabashed trans joy. I would like to find more of that. This place ain't it tho.
Ok the girls officially do be hurtin'; the full coverage sports bralette-esque apparatus that has served me so well in curling and hockey is no match here 😔
