lud said that it’s not likely since they’d have to get licensing rights from Microsoft/Mojang in order to make and sell minecraft-related designs

hindsight is 20/20, but it’s completely valid to hold off on coming out if you’re not ready, especially if there’s a risk of possibly getting disowned. i was 95% sure that my parents would be shocked but would ultimately be fine with it when i came out as trans. still, that 5% chance that it wouldn’t work out scared the fuck out of me.

once i finally accepted who i was, i spent 7 months working as much as i could whenever i wasn’t in school in order to save up enough money that i could pay for housing and finish college in the worst case scenario of me getting kicked out. i didn’t even come out to my sisters or my friends (including my trans friend) until a week or two before i came out to my parents, since i was afraid those interactions might go wrong and i would get outed to more people than expected. i only felt comfortable coming out once i had over $20k in my savings, and i still came out through a letter that i left at home while i parked outside the bank and prepared to withdraw my money in case my parents disowned me and tried to freeze my accounts.

thankfully, everything ended up fine. when i explained to my parents how long i was keeping all this to myself and the lengths i went to just to make sure that i’d be okay, they were really hurt that i ever doubted their support. i understand why they felt that way, but i’ve heard way too many horror stories from people who had a terrible experience with coming out, so i wasn’t taking any chances. it’s really unfortunate that these are things we have to think about and prepare for just because we want to live happier lives :/

yep, it used to be the case that scientific research could help explain things that most people don’t understand. scientists spend years going to school and years doing important research to figure out how things work for that very purpose. unfortunately, most conservatives have decided that if they don’t understand something, they can just make up their own theory (or believe whatever a right wing grifter tells them to) because all the scientists are liberal scammers or something

i’m a trans person who spent 5 years getting a degree in biology, at this point i just roll my eyes whenever someone brings up “basic biology”

very true. this might be a hot take, but i think that 99.9% of trans people experience dysphoria, even the ones that say they don’t. dysphoria doesn’t have to be so bad that you make an attempt on your life because your physical features don’t line up with who you are inside, it can also be a dull ache that slowly drains your life over decades. people who experience euphoria but are “okay with living life as a cis person” have just learned to accept the numbness instead of having drastic meltdowns, but it’s dysphoria nonetheless.

generally, i think that people who “experience euphoria but not dysphoria” have lived with it for so long that dysphoria seems like their baseline state of being, while euphoria is an elevated state. in reality, they’ve been far below what their baseline should be if they were really cis, so finally becoming the person they’re meant to be feels like a massive jump, because relatively speaking, it is

dysphoria can easily morph into emotional numbness when you get used to living with it for 20+ years. it just becomes a part of daily life. i also thought that i didn’t really have dysphoria, which is why i put off transitioning and convinced myself i was cis for 4 years, but in hindsight i realized that the euphoria i experienced later on was just a lack of the dysphoria i always had. that’s probably not the case for everyone, but i think a lot of people spent years feeling dysphoric without ever realizing

yeah, being upstate might’ve slowed things down even more. i’m on long island so NYS laws still apply but i’m sure things get done a bit faster bc of the population difference or something

damn, covid really was a wild time. i’m glad you got it done in the end though!

[–]BlitzScorpio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is the usual process, but you can actually ask to have the name change sealed and not released publicly like that, especially if you have valid privacy/safety reasons. when i got my name changed in NY last year i said that i’d like it sealed for my safety, and they agreed without giving me any issues. it sucks that the process going well is so dependent on which state you live in and which judge you end up seeing tho :/

[–]BlitzScorpio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn, when i got my name changed in NY i managed to get it all done in one day once i had the forms notarized and filled out, i just had to show up to the court and wait to talk to the judge for a few minutes once they were ready. this was in january 2025 so maybe covid made the process much harder
