why does every trans meme assume we change our name to just the other gendered version of our dead names lol. It's a trope at this point, but speaking as a trans woman that would be dysphoric af.
I guess, to be fair, I actually considered making my middle name similar to my dead name as a way out for my parents from the "it's just hard for us" but I realized I hated that idea and screw them if they think respecting me is too hard for them.
Edit: btw 2 years post come out and my dad finally used my chosen name for the first time. They can change, though my dad keeps misgendering, which shows me his heart isn't in the right place. He's thinking "appease" me as in his heart I'm still a guy, even though he definitely glanced at my chest... guh
Fair, the only reason I was watching that long was because I was just a young child, once I was able to provide for my own entertainment I never looked back to TV.
I hate ads too but we're not there yet. When I stopped watching tv it was like at least 30% ads and I am sure it got worse the decade after I quit while it was still relevant.
To provide some additional anecdotes to support jul's comment. I've personally been experiencing better performance than windows even with nvidia. Though it does vary per game, with the occasional workaround especially when going outside the realm of plug and play to mod games.
I'd say most games are great, the "10% low" games are still good, and the "1% lows" where things just don't work are pretty rare but sometimes there is a fix. Proton.db is a good resource for those instances.
And being honest... windows has those moments too, people just ignore them because windows is the ubiquitous gaming OS.
It's a lot better than when I had last "tried" and it may be more impactful to bring up that this time I haven't gone back even once, and I actually went ahead and pulled the plug on my windows partition.
Linux is just better now, there's one thing windows had but I gave it up. Linux is just better for most things now and to make that win even better.. windows has increasingly been becoming worse than itself.
My GF is a dysphoria girl, she transitioned because of intense dysphoria, I'm kinda half-and-half in that there were/are parts of me I get bad dysphoria about, but also parts of me that were/are not and my decision to transitioned was also based on feelings of euphoria (though oddly transitioning actually kinda adjusted my dysphoria dials from what they were originally). It sounds like you could be one of us that doesn't have dysphoria, but instead would just feel better transitioning.
You have a lot of thoughts of a trans girl, or at least of a gender fluid or non-binary person fwiw. Be the u that makes u comfy.
For me that meant transitioning, for u, maybe just being comf as you are?
Yeah it's "too late" for me too, I'm locked in, and if there was a pill that did that I'd have some serious ethical concerns regardless. What I mean is more if I could have decided before being born.
While I love the trans community and all my friends I've made through being trans.. I'd rather just be cis, even cis as my birth sex. Being trans isn't a choice, if it was I would not be trans, it's hard, very hard, and society makes the difficulty 10x worse.
It feels good physically, but sex is something much more emotionally, mentally, and socially important to me. It fulfills an intense desire for sexual intimacy and emotional bonding. I love to be touched, to intensely desire, and that intense desire matched by another for me. Feelings of fire and lightning deep inside, and bruises on the outside, pain, crying, and for a time my mind blank with bliss. For me, sexuality is a defining feature, I would not be me otherwise..
I would say however, if you are asexual and just don't have these desires you aren't missing out on much. Most of the benefits are "I get my needs fulfilled," and if you live a satisfying life without having those needs to fill then there is not much lost, and maybe even something to gain.
I had the same thing happen to me on my manual. Kinda cemented my love/fascination with manuals. Too bad my partner wanted an automatic :( ... next time~
I'm a zillenial that had a manual that blew its clutch while I was out and I had to relearn how to drive it back home, that was scaryfun. Where does that put me?
that's true
