Male players: Why do you play female characters?
  • There is something my therapist pointed out to me, who was feeling like fraud about being trans. There is some peer pressure out there on how you have to be to be trans. We are not talking about mean peer pressure, but if you see that bodily transitioning is the way for apparently every trans person, then that must be the way for you too, right? And what if you really dread procedures or meds? Or if you are maybe not super happy with your body, but who ever is? Does that make you less trans? I think it really helps to think of trans as a spectrum and exploring it slowly. And maybe you find your gender identity on that spectrum or you feel role playing etc. is just some good fun. And if you find yourself on that spectrum you can go into character creation and say, I’m fine with the presets or change things up, the result will always be beautifully you.

  • Gender and trans are a spectrum, so maybe your wandering in that plain is your gender identity? Nonbinary, genderfluid and pangender are labels that took me the longest time to grasp, but are what I’m comfortable now with. And also the aspect, that wether you bodily transition or not does not decide wether you wanna use the label trans for you or not. It’s free and one way or the other it’s great to open up that binary system.

  • I second this and wanna add, that it’s also totally cool, to feel like switching into a different body whenever would be neat. Maybe being whomever you want to be whenever feels just right to you.

    This is also attainable with outfits though honestly your appearance is completely secondary to how you personally feel about being your self.

    Shapeshifters are just awesome characters anyway right?

  • An Additional Owl of the Year Prize
  • That is so cute!! 😍 Thank you for this awesome event! It brought me a lot of joy! Looking carefully what owl to vote for. Also not being mean to the one not voted for, which was hard while looking at their cute faces while making up my mind.

  • These lands
  • Don’t know if that is still holding up, but the German ministry of defence put terrorist attacks on the same list as natural disasters in their „Weißbuch“ around 2016. So theoretically we could have, what for historical reason we should never see again: The military enforcing inland. And while in Bavaria climate crisis protesters are held in detention under anti terror law, the picture discussed here could become reality in Germany faster than we might think.

  • Discord bans misgendering and deadnaming in hateful conduct policy update
  • I wouldn’t have thought that discord would apply such good policies. Their target groups include transphobes and there will be a lot of moderating to do. It’s a really big step to make online gaming a safer space for everyone. 😊

  • Paludikultur: Ein feuchter Schatz im Moor
  • Wow! Ich würde sehr gerne Moos anbauen! Das gedeiht in meinen Balkontöpfen auch immer am besten und ich liebe es. 😊

    Ich hätte ein bisschen Angst vor den Mücken, in sumpfigen Feldern, aber das ist dann wieder so ein Menschenproblem.

  • Pangender @lemmy.world lexihexi @lemmy.blahaj.zone
    Hello there!

    I was so happy to see, this community already existed. Pangender is such a cute and delicate label.

    So I just wanna share what it means for me and hope we can get in touch here:

    I first discovered the label bigender for me, cause I felt I switched from having low levels of dysphoria in man mode to very high levels every few months, where I felt transitioning mtf was the only way.

    Being pansexual and attracted to enbies as well, I was curious why I wouldn’t allow that for my self. I than unraveled the nonbinary gender identity for myself

    And by now I feel I am sometimes sorta genderfluid going through nb/man/women phases over a few days. But mostly one mode is dominant for a month or so, which is why pangender feels quite right to me. 🥰

    (Obviously this is the short version. Figuring this out started ca. 5 years ago. I picked up pangender ca. 2 years ago and only over the last year I have finally started loving myself with the labels nb, trans and pangender(fluid).)

    Harlequin Shadowseer, WIP

    I never dared painting Harlequins. With 3 years painting experience this is my brave first attempt.

    I am looking for advice for the backpack module (happily a pride flag theme) and the venetian masks.

    The legs, which I'm most proud of are trans pride themed.

    The chest and head are the old and the new Firefox logo colour scheme. And the "scarves" are pan pride and also the firefox mobile loading bar theme.

    The gun coincidentally became MS Edge themed (bad Chrome bad!!) xD
