@SixArmedSweater Why do you think I've spent the last six years of my life training to be a post-apocalyptic survivor and possible Warlord?
@skolli Don't make me come down there and Mom you.
Problematic Terms
You know how you all have that one problematic friend in the group?
In our group... She's kinda untouchable and she knows this. She's a disabled transgirl of mixed peurto rican and chinese lineage, she self identifies as a Neko Futanari Hime, and she's a pro-teir gamer.
She's a goddamn Anime character, and by all rights shouldn't exist. She's Clout Georg and is an outlier.
I really REALLY wish she wasn't so Racist, misanthropic, transphobic and just generally problematic about stuff, because she's like Walter in the Big Lebowsky.
She's not Wrong, she's just kinda an asshole.
But she's hyper loyal and giving with everyone in the group, and we're, uh... Real diversity. the kind you can't really Brag about.
It could just be that she's a Cat though.
You know, growing up... Multiple system folks were the wounded heroes and terrible villains in the King novels I more or less learned to read on.
And today I look around, and they're my brothers and sisters. They're Not Broken, they're Defeating evil, they're Growing more powerful, day by day.
But the old spells in those dark old books Work for us.
And they are Powerful.
Feels a bit Night Vale to learn powerful healing magic from something as Dark as Needful Things.
But it Worked.
@vanessalynne Oh yeah. It's just a challenge when you've been married to an intersex, gender-agnostic for over a decade. XD
@vanessalynne Especially if you're multiple system and just need something everyone is happy with wearing.
@vanessalynne
Tohri: And I have a hard time thinking of myself as Trans. That gender binary gets in the way for me, I'm really Both. I've kinda had to be.
There's really not much room in polite society for anyone who's not sensitive, open and Kind.
So I suppose getting raised as a girl wasn't Bad, just really embarrassing for ten years after puberty.
@vanessalynne Keri: Oh goddess, major feels here. It screwed Tohri up for a long time because he thought his gender dysphoria was coming from Me.
I'm Female, always have been, the meatsuit doesn't Matter. I'm a Girl in ways a lotta my translady friends Aren't, and that freaked Tohri out.
We're still not sure what precisely we are, but even the meatsuit isn't, uh, really Male.
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
