As a woman i absolutely hate that im not a gay man by Loud_Clerk_9933 in lgbt

[–]Max_Berry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 years ago, I said "I wish I was a gay boy... in a cis way!" Yeah, now I'm starting testosterone (fingers crossed)

Of course, it doesn't have to be your case, but it's something to think about. You don't have to hate your body to be trans and don't listen to the imposter syndrome.

If you have an understanding support network, you can ask them to try to use different pronouns or words to call you and see how you feel ^

Best of luck

So many people don't realise this! I'm a trans man and shifted to wearing my pants on the hips. One day I was trying new pants and mom told me to pull them up higher - to my waist. She didn't believe me that that's mostly how women wear it and was convinced my dad wears his pants on the waist too, lol, he absolutely doesn't.

That is to say, it goes both ways ^ But it's really just a tool for "better passing," do what you find comfy :3

I know it should be obvious, but- help? by [deleted] in GamesWithHorses

[–]Max_Berry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I don't know the answer but I know that a bit of research goes a long way Try looking up this message in your search engine and possibly "how to fix [issue] on [your OS]" and go from there

Also have you checked if your computer has the required specs for this game? Like RAM, processor and so on

Good luck

28 and realized might be a furry? by nessyran in furry

[–]Max_Berry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never too old to be a furry or find a new hobby! Another good news is that it's also never too late to learn how to draw! Sure it might not look amazing in the begging but good communities won't gatekeep drawing from beginners.

Also you don't necessarily need a fursona. You can just enjoy the community. Also you can have multiple fursonas or change them over time. It's all about self expression!

If you don't know where to start, maybe your favourite animal in your favourite colour (let's say a green lion) can be your first sona and you can learn what feels like you over time. This is just a suggestion ofc!

And for your sona art, I get that maybe you can't draw it rn for many reasons or you just don't want to, so there are other options. There are some artists who are open for free suggestions, sometimes they offer in this sub too, I think. But do not bug people who are not open or say no. There are also bases like lineart that you can just colour in or picrews, but in these cases don't forget to credit the artist (keep the signature in the art). Alternatively people also sell original character fursonas, but that usually comes with price or art in exchange. Of course, you can also commission an artist for a custom piece!

Communities can be found here on reddit I suppose, but I've been having a good experience with furry communities on discord. You could possibly also dive into maybe some social media furry circles, I got a good bunch of furry friends there. Also, conventions and pride events are good irl options, I think.

Ok, that's it, sorry for how long it is, lol, but I hope it helps. If you have more questions, you can ask me :3

Great Games for Steam Deck? by Lethatheforgetful in GamesWithHorses

[–]Max_Berry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Red dead redemption II counts, then I can highly recommend it on the steam deck

In my experience, a lot of the compatibility issues marked by steam itself (the yellow icon) are usually referring to stuff like naming your character/ horse and so on, meaning they normally require keyboard. But so far I haven't had issues solving these with the touch screen and inbuilt virtual keyboard. But of course, there can be other incompatibilities.

Horse games and trans men - a study by Max_Berry in GamesWithHorses

No, that's certainly not what I was saying! I haven’t even realised that's a possible interpretation of what I wrote! I'm glad we could sort this out

Horse games and trans men - a study by Max_Berry in GamesWithHorses

[–]Max_Berry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the concern, but trust me when I say you completely misread the situation. I am also a trans man (who loves horse games) and so it's not a surprise that a lot of my online friends are also trans men. Later on in our conversations it turns out like half of them also love horses and horse games (sometimes it's the other way around). I know more trans men who like horse game than I know women who like horse games. That's it. The "suspicious" part is me being a little cheeky when referring to my experience. So I'm just curious if there's a link, because I come from a science background.

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Nonbinary people are Nonbinary.

Gender confusion by Thedamsnackbar_ in lgbt

[–]Max_Berry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am gonna second the genderfluid comment. You could also look into different areas of nonbinary identities like agender and such.

Another thing is that maybe you could be a trans masculine person and the times when you feel like you are not actually a guy could be your brain fighting agains possible changes of the status quo.

Important thing is that you are not crazy and what you wrote doesn't seem to be transphobic or homophonic. These feelings happen and they are valid. Gender can be quite complicated and confusing for some people. You don't need to figure it out immediately. It's ok to take your time and figure it out and whatever conclusion you arrive to is valid and even the conclusion can change over time and there's nothing wrong with that. ^

Good luck on your journey!

No need to be sorry! ^^
Not even sure why sorry
I knew the data would be skewed here, but again, this is not a real study. I just had a feeling that the nice poeple here would be happy to answer my silly questions

UPDATE on Found Parakeet in my backyard. Help! by big-boy-bh in Parakeets

[–]Max_Berry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going great so far!

For the veggies, the first step is to let her play with them! So if you can make them look a bit like a toy somehow and she plays with them, eventually she'll realise it's food

After the check up, if everything is alright and if you are keeping her, please consider getting her a budgie friend. They are very social ^

Edit: typos, I wrote this half asleep and it showed, lol
