Cass: reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre transitition I played girls in every video game, became the emotional support person for my friend group, and tried to be a literal beard for myself

reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre transitition I played girls in every video game, became the emotional support person for my friend group, and tried to be a literal beard for myself

reskeet with the trans-iest thing you did pre transitition as soon as i got online as a kid, i was a woman everywhere. girl avatars, girl screennames, making up a fake girl friend group to talk abt, dodging voice chat so i wouldn't get outed... i should've figured stuff out a lot sooner

i should mention my friend group was exclusively women, and i was never comfortable around men

Maybe I should’ve realized something when my first and subsequent friends were all girls or boys who later came out as some flavor of queer. But yeah, I couldn’t relate to guys at all ;_; Girls? No problem whatsoever

sometimes you just know, yk

Like even before the pandemic my friend group was a giant egg basket. I was either very dense or very much in denial 😂

this was me

except I couldn't really have girls as friends without people being weird about it

Why the hell is this a realization I am just having? I’ve never really hung out with men unless, I was genuinely interested in them.

we all take time to unpack

You are a fucking glorious human being :3 thank you

youre spectacular and wonderful!

wait are you me

👏hiii probably, a clone copy of me would totally go by mara

you see this is a weird one for me in that i would always feel more comfy around transmascs than transfemmes in groups/servers

i just thought trans girls were neat for like 10 years lol

i love trans girls! i wonder why

yes!!! following trans girls on twitter for years wishing i could be pretty like them not realizing the estradiol was available any time i wanted it

i had estrodil patches nearby and never used them

whelp, the first two hit the nail pretty squarely on the head for me

I also called myself mother in my middle school friend group. Like yeah that's a cis thing to do.

YEP

Well now I have to rewatch Sneakers in a new light... 🤔

Same for me

Also, I’m way more in tune with my women friends than I am with my guy friends and have always felt awkward around them but couldn’t place why

this is a fun prompt bc when you really think about it ur like "fuck, literally everything"

The first reply I see and already I'm 'Yep.Yep.Yep.'

i remember early in the ~gamergate era~ seeing some article about nerds doing the usual whining about a female MC, but i had a moment where it clicked for me that i'd always made/picked a girl character when given the option? not even as a conscious choice, it just never occurred to me to make a guy

and like, it actually struck me as weird that anyone would want to? not that it is! but like... the very idea of picking a guy in the character creation felt *so foreign* to me that i had to actually process that for a minute

It became a running joke in my Smite gaming group that if I played a male character, I'd play terribly, even if they were objectively stronger characters.
