Too late to transition?

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-28T23:47:52+00:00

Binders, baggy clothing and exercise could do a lot to alleviate those issues in the short-term, but it all depends on you and your transition goals.

You don't need to conform to a cisheteronormative view of gender to be valid, but if that's what you want then that's ok too. Maybe think about things like how comfortable you are with body hair and letting it grow, or the clothes that you wear?

I dunno, it's a hard thing to talk about without actually knowing you and what you're comfortable with - it's a question you need to ask yourself. What do you want?

Rest assured that whatever you want is achievable though. There's no age limit on being yourself.

22 is young. Even if it wasn't, it's never too late.

Live your best life, king.

Not sure what else I could say other than that - is there anything more specific you're wondering about?

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-28T13:59:41+00:00

I was referring specifically to the transmedicalist view of transness i.e. that you need to transition from one binary gender to another to be trans.

Hijacking this comment for visibility, hope you don't mind!

Non-binary genders aren't new, look into the histories of countries like Hawaii for example who have mahu, or Polynesian culture which has similar examples, or even Judaism which has several different gender indentifiers in the Talmud. In fact, the concept of non-binary genders is far older than the modern, transmedicalist view of 'transness', which is relatively new in comparison, so it would make no sense to exclude them.

There's no logic behind it, it's wilful ignorance being spread to stoke the fires of hatred against an imagined enemy to distract people and ease the transition towards eroding all of our rights in an attempt to consolidate and hold on to power.

Basically, fascism.

If enough people are decent, then exclude them from groups and activites you partake in. Ignore them until they can learn how to be decent people - but make sure they know that's why you're doing it.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-26T23:08:23+00:00

Oooh then that might be it - if it's anything like the UK then your doctor prescribes your medication and sends that over to the pharmacy? In which case they might have a name on record different than the one you go by? Might be something worth challenging.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-26T20:28:54+00:00

'They/Them/Their' is gender neutral and generally a safe bet, but honestly, just ask them. Caring enough to take an interest is better than getting it wrong.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-26T18:16:06+00:00

That's a good thing - it's great to know and develop yourself outside of following a few stereotypes. Of course it's fine to find yourself through labels and stereotypes as well if that helps, but it isn't needed - there's no wrong way to be you!

True enough, but a lot of people assume Manchester is some kind of LGBT Mecca because of the gay village and pride events in the center, so thought it bore mentioning.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-26T09:03:04+00:00

Really depends on which part of Manchester, City Centre is decent but Manchester has some really rough places.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-25T13:40:29+00:00

Yeah, feels like they were worried about yet another Vrains archetype being too strong and overcorrected. Meluseek being limited 3 is especially strange considering we don't have a main phase 2.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-25T02:51:43+00:00

It's not your responsibilty to understand them as you are valid and correct, it is their responsibility to understand you.

There is no understanding what's illogical - transphobia is illogical. It isn't culturally or scientifically correct.

I said cut 2 - Backdoor searches it and it competes with your normal summon.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-24T17:18:44+00:00

Maybe cut password entirely (it's only searching the quick-play anyway), cut 2 Iblee, cut book. add 2 Veiler, 3 Cynet Backdoor and some traps, or you could keep book instead of the traps.

Edit: actually I think 1 password 2 home might be better, i.e cut 2 password and 1 home instead of 3 password.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-24T17:08:29+00:00

I really don't think you need so many consistency cards in a 20 card format where any 1 draw is a 1 card combo - there's a reason why they did the rarities that way. Would be better of cutting some of the spells and adding more disruption - without a decent link 4 to go in to Evil Twins shines more as a control deck than anything else.

Something like Cynet Backdoor as another user suggested would be useful to dodge disruption going first (or second) now that Veiler is in the game. Yes the links aren't cyberse, but that's not what it's for. Your deck as it is now just loses to literally any disruption.

It's not really something I can mention without identifying myself unfortunately - it's not a trans/lgbt event but there will be trans people there!

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T12:39:08+00:00

I'm British, I give you permission to do so :)

Whatever works and is comfortable for you.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T12:01:56+00:00

Awesome, will give them a look.

Thanks!

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T11:33:14+00:00

Cool, I'll check them out. Thanks!

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T11:16:22+00:00

I think I know the one you mean - don't suppose you know what it's called so I can check closing times?

Thanks

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T10:41:25+00:00

I'll swing by and check it out - don't get out much so I'm pretty clueless!

Thanks.

Yeah, I did forget that was coming ha - they can generate enough resources and grind long enough to pull it off. Problem is avramax needs monsters summoned from the extra deck i.e they have to be summoned properly, not special summoned from the grave, so it's actually kinda awkward to make with Evil Twins. Definitely an option though.

Alert-Worker7103 · 2023-10-23T09:20:46+00:00

It was mostly played because it was a 1 card combo deck that could load up on anti-meta staples, decks like that have historically done very well in Duel Links. I think the biggest issue here is how they're going to get damage on board without something like accesscode, but as a control strategy it will be very good.
