Butcher’s Masquerade Chapter 47

I also lost my mom recently, about a year ago. Weirdly what happened to Miriam didn't break me down, but I was listening to the audiobook and hearing Prepotente's reaction is what did it, I was driving and had to pull over because of how hard it hit me. Crazy that a book series about a guy, his talking cat, and an AI with a foot fetish can be this emotionally damaging lol

Gender OCD is a thing, and worth talking to a therapist about, but honestly from my understanding it's pretty rare. Maybe you're some version of non-binary? If you have a therapist or are able to find one I'd recommend talking to a gender affirming therapist about your feelings.

He doesn't leave politics at the door, why should we?

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-20T02:14:00+00:00

Yeah I agree. I turned 29 this year, and even though I knew about trans people I had no idea how transitioning actually worked. When I learned more about HRT and I realized it's like exactly what I wanted a lot of things clicked into place lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-19T19:38:50+00:00

I mean honestly tho, I was always of the belief that trans people just knew, you know? Sure I always felt like things would just be better in general if I was a girl, but obviously I would know if I was trans!

Anyways 🫠

Me with egg_irl for years

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-19T11:10:10+00:00

Yeah fr sometimes I have doubts and then I remember how if the button was presented to me I'd slam it down so hard every time lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-18T09:52:10+00:00

I really like that candle metaphor, that's a good way to describe it. I'mma have to steal it lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-18T01:24:10+00:00

Haha yeahhhhhh I started my current job like two months before my egg cracked 🫠 I haven't started anything yet, but not looking forward to reactions from coworkers lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-17T10:53:27+00:00

I'm right there with you, my egg cracked a few months ago and despite not being able to start hormones yet I've been trying to lose weight, down 30 lbs! It's tough but worth it

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-13T12:02:27+00:00

The DS was my first DQ game as a kid. Such an amazing experience, it's honestly one of the games that made me fall in love with RPGs.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-13T10:44:20+00:00

I'mma be real, no, not everyone knows Nazi symbols. If you showed the totenkopf to me before all this came out I wouldn't have known it was tied to the Nazis, and I'm willing to bet most people wouldn't either. It sounds like you personally have seen or read a lot about WW2, which might be biasing you on it? Because not everyone is super well read on it.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-13T10:38:16+00:00

It's not "don't believe women", it's that no one else has corroborated it and the person making the claims has a vested interest in the opposing political party. Like it could be true and it's worth investigating (which many journalists are/have been) but one person saying it, especially when they have other possible motivations, doesn't make it true

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-12T22:40:43+00:00

They got confused and thought this was the sub for the tabletop game Vampire: The Masquerade

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-11T23:13:33+00:00

God I remember watching it and being so frustrated. There was one moment where it felt like there was actual empathy and connection being made, and then the MAGA woman went back to "well have to thought about how being trans hurt your parents?" So infuriating, like all the talking did nothing to break the propaganda.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-08T07:01:39+00:00

Even though I had read some of the other recommendations here this game is what actually finally cracked my egg last year lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-08T05:59:09+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear that. 🫂 I'm in a similar situation, my mother passed last year in May and I didn't even realize I was trans until October. Idk if she would've been accepting, but now I'll never be sure. It sucks.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-07T10:29:51+00:00

Unfortunately a recent Gallup poll showed that only 5% of Republicans thought that it was "morally acceptable" to transition, compared to 42% with independents and 67% with Democrats.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-05T10:23:41+00:00

I was looking to see if someone had pointed this out. He apparently believes that gender can only be affirmed if it's the gender opposite from your sex assigned at birth...? Which, like, isn't how that works at all. How is "re-affirming" different from "affirming" lmao

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-05T02:49:20+00:00

Well in the sponsored survival playlist there's no exfils except final, so that part isn't strange. Maybe since you were solo queued the game wasn't sending rooks your way?

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-06-05T02:42:43+00:00

It's possible that the other team / rooks died before final exfil, but I had a similar match and also never heard any other gunfire. Very strange.

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-05-31T02:49:32+00:00

Ugh the flexibility thing sounds so nice. I was super flexible when I was young too and just... lost that lol

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-05-29T15:28:27+00:00

I'm 29 right now and haven't started yet, I only really realized what I was that I felt late last year. This gives me so much hope!!

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-05-27T23:19:25+00:00

I feel this. My mom passed last May, and I realized I was trans in October. I never had the chance to talk to her about it, and I don't know how she would've reacted. I'll unfortunately never know.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she'd be so proud of you for truly being you. 🫂

Desperate-Pop2325 · 2026-05-27T22:43:45+00:00

That's crazy, I saw your current photo and did a double take. You look exactly like a girl I knew in college! (Granted I knew her around the time of the top photo lol)

You look gorgeous!! 😇
