A lot of creative writer types who got good at posing as an alter ego rolled elfs and forumquested. I guess? 999% of trans people I guess?? (I wouldn't know really) play a female elf avatar in game if that's any indication of something.

There was some big event which drew these types out of the shadows, and since it's irrelevant to live super secret lives in 2020 no one rerolled.

I've done the stealth forum thing a few times and people where impressed, but then I came out for various reasons. It's harder to keep up with the forums gatekeepers and new account creation, and I promised to stop being mean to the plebes. So here I am down to one account and everyone who's a regular is familiar.

I suspect there's a lot more trans people out there but I don't expect them to out themselves.

Besides trans is a silly label. I may not even be "trans" in the politically correct sense. So that kinda invalidates everything I have to say about it. At least I don't double, triple, and multi post as much.

Yeah. No thanks. I am kind of a 'retired' shit poster. Now I just hobnob in the politics OT thread, campaign for bringing back bone chip exp and generally don't care about 'being trans' or not being it or whatever it is kids these days do.

I have also been surprised by the amount of trans infighting that takes place in forumquest. Some of the more brutal keyboard battles I have seen lately have come from trans elves. I mean, even the crazy ass political threads seem more civil.
I never really thought about it, but I could see why trans people might be drawn to role playing games though.

This is because as a group "Trans" (and I use that term very loosely and all encompassing of a large general group, so inclusive that no ones feelings get hurt, right??) are very insecure people lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There's a lot of reasons they are insecure, good and bad. Yet, try and get them to agree on it and you will just wind up with some weird internalized scream of consciousness from several people blending and melding into what I would like to say 'dysphoria' is in the trans, new age, sense, not the classical meaning of the word, and oh my.

Does everything need a preface and a post analysis so that no one impulsively takes it personally? Talk amongst pro-or-anti-trans-in-or-out groups is bound to need all kinds of feelings and thoughts. By default.

A lot of "Trans" people need help. For sure. Just not online on this forum help. The media has also damaged any hope of trans people having cohesives tribes all of their own that 'makes sense' for a majority of them. Example, something trans is generally automatically kink shamed, because of the connotation of '**x type of *** pornstar'. Which god love em, most of them are trans too but they wouldn't admit it lol.

It's not something that should be publicly discussed on a video game forum, yet that event, makes it brought up over and over again (and no it's not my fault I didn't do it) it happened everywhere in media online. People shouldn't live in shame and hide but there are better places to have deep dive discussions about it. Hence OP is possibly trollin here by kind of even engaging in the topic. (But I will always give people the benefit of the doubt and even engage with trolls to a degree). Because it's fun to engage in the free market place of ideas. Essentially.

Yeah lol, that's why the left clings to the narrative(s) provided by people who aren't even trans or "lefty" themselves, lol. A lot of copypasta.

This is a topic that nears impossible to be PC about. If someone cares at all about the truth beyond the cultural memes.

Anyway, there's only two of them (the evil trannies) that consistently bring up trans memes and topics. The rest is straight guys ribbing @ them to engage them in forum drama. Because "She's just bored".

Also Imperiouskitten does not look like contrapoints lol, both are pretty and have their own thing going on. Contrapoints is some of the best, most entertaining, social commentary out there. Or it was. I don't know I haven't checked her channel in like 5 years.

The people who are attacking Imperiouskitten are just massively jellious diehard grifters, sadists, and puppyrescuers. And are acting out of a sense of shame, self entitlement, egotism, and rage at not being in control over their own lives, s_elves_.

News flash to anyone out there. You're not unique because you're insecure. All humans have insecurities. I'll share with you my favorite saying

You're unique, just like everyone else.

Get over yourself, no one cares about your feelings. Nor should you be too concerned with others. Improve yourself, move on and achieve. God I can't stand this soft living that is taking over society.

Anyway excellent advice, regardless.

Aside from the 'I can say what I wan't". I feel like that is a nice thing to say and pretty magnanimous, thanks. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Then--don't try to be. Say it direct. If you can't say what you mean, how are you supposed to mean what you say?

You are right in that insecure people tend to be easily-offended. I get annoyed at having to preface comments with half a dozen disclaimers so people can figure out that they shouldn't take offense from neutral discussion or from people having differing opinions about something.

You said above that trans is a poor term. I sort of disagree; it seems to serve its purpose well enough for want of anything better. It is something you and I, for example, can agree on, so it's useful for facilitating a conversation such as this one instead of bogging down and arguing over who's a woman and who isn't. I know what I see, someone else doesn't want to see himself the same way I see him, so a neutral word in the middle seems useful in that sense.

Yeah but there is a huge difference and gulf between someone who bothered to medically transition, speaks like not a dudevoice, and like for example 'philosopher trans people' or social activist trans people. Or that 1 crazy troll who keeps sueing beautypagenets because they where disqualified for being the wrong sex.

I hate the fucking word, it's nothing but grief because inevitably retards (and there's a lot of them) use it as a fucking god damn bludgeon.

Don't blame you for that one. It gets old. There are a couple words (referencing very different subjects, obviously) I try to avoid in reference to myself for much the same reason. On the other hand it's acceptable that the term isn't very specific; it doesn't need to be for its purpose since any specifics can be cleared up later when necessary. Same as I can call myself "white" without needing to specify that I'm of mainly Irish and French background.

How do you do that, anyway? I mean, mechanically. I'm physically incapable of sounding like a woman even if I wanted to. Starting from my usual low baritone/high bass voice the highest I can manage to croak out is still not particularly high-pitched nor feminine sounding. I've always assumed that guys who manage to do that probably started out with somewhat more womanly-sounding voices to begin with but is there something more?
