sometimes i think about all those people who genuinely believe that being biologically male or female affects things like your emotional depth or ability to moderate your emotional reactions
and then i think about how when Rationalism hit Europe there was an abrupt 180 from "women are unfit for leadership because they are Cold and Incapable of being Sufficiently Passionate" to "women are unfit for leadership because they are Emotional and Incapable of being Sufficiently Rational"
@Felthry I'm also one of those.
@fluxom_alt I didn't choose the Fae King life, it chose me.
@fluxom_alt Look.
You can't have that gender, it's Mine.
@Nerts Oh and the autocannon is going to be shoulder fired and integrally suppressed and look like Elftech
@Nerts I'm designing an Actual 20mm air autocannon running liquid Co2 and firing Armor piercing discarding sabot fin stabilized mechanical expanding broadhead bolts because it might be a hot product for my new job at the machine shop to produce.
...Can I be in your Shadowrun game? Even just as an NPC weapons merchant.
@fluxom_alt Free boob massage because I'm pretty sure yours hurt like mine do and need regular rubs.
@Caudle I saw you without the big pink trunk once and it looked weird.
So, like, current icon?
Gender, phys, HRT.
Estrogen has had some unusual side effects.
For one thing is's an Unfair performance enhancer in the machine shop.
For another, I'm gaining Muscle Mass like never before in my life. I feel Bionic when I'm not Exhausted.
This has resulted in a Strange Gender Nexus. Estrogen does all that and a bag of chips like Usual, but also gives me major bonuses to my favorite 'Male' attributes. So much so that it's swung the needle back towards Masculinity overall.
If I'd known all this out ahead of time I'd have started HRT first thing. I went to my ass to get to my elbow, genderwise, and ended up damn close to where I started.
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.
