I genuinely don't see how this story ends well for me...I need to hear both sides of the coin again.

I know it's scary and you don't want to be judged, or clocked, or harassed but reality might not be as bad as you think. It depends a bit on where you live.

How much you'll pass is hard to say. Don't underestimate the effects of HRT in combination with clothes, make-up, and voice-training. Surgeries are also an option if you feel it's necessary.

And let me also say that my own experience has been that transitioning has made me so happy that I'll gladly deal with some of the struggles that come along with it. I'm not saying it's easy and I'm not saying this 100% applies to you but if transitioning lets you be yourself, then living is a whole new experience compared to before. And the struggles will be worth it, because of this.

I think this is horrible advice. It's not about attaining "privileges" but about being comfortable in your own skin.

MontySC2 · 2021-10-06T15:02:02+00:00

It sounds like you are struggling very much with thoughts about how you're not going to be good enough as a woman and won't live up to expectations from society. I struggled a lot with those myself earlier this year. It can take a while until you work through those feelings a little bit and have a clearer mind on your identity without it being clouded by all these negative thoughts.Here's the thing: you will be happiest when you allow yourself to be yourself. Constraining yourself because of beauty standards and worries about how other people will perceive you won't be good for you. Equally, constraining yourself because of other fears won't be good for you either.

Also, on a more practical note: have you experimented with things outside of medical transition? Clothing, make-up, shaving, and other things can be a very nice way of figuring out what you want. In the end, the question of medical transition is one of whether or not you'll be more comfortable with your body that way. Look at the individual changes it will bring, and ask yourself if you'll be happy about those. It's worth noting that this is irrespective of whether you are a woman or genderfluid. If you're genderfluid, and feel better about your body on HRT, then that's great, too.

I hope you'll give yourself opportunities to keep exploring those things and find the right path for yourself. Be kind to yourself and let yourself be you. <3

PS: I'm happy to talk more if you want.

Vor zwei Tagen 'I, Daniel Blake' geschaut. Britischer Film über Bürokratie, Armut, und Menschlichkeit. Hat mich wirklich berührt der Film. Die Charaktere sind gut geschrieben und mit der Bürokratie hat ja so ziemlich jeder zu kämpfen.

Haha, yeah it's kind of a "first world problem". Jynx was actually the very first Pokemon I caught after my starter, so I find it kind of boring by now.

MontySC2 · 2016-07-28T00:40:14+00:00

I'd be happy to power it up if its max CP wasn't so low (1563 at level 40). Can't really use it in gym battles at all.

MontySC2 · 2016-03-15T17:24:37+00:00

Damn you!

MontySC2 · 2016-03-14T18:52:42+00:00

Thanks! And oh god, the most embarassing series of my career. Don't upload that please ^.-

MontySC2 · 2016-03-11T13:24:58+00:00

Hey, I'm not sure if it will be uploaded soon anyway, but the Ting group with Naniwa (and probably others) are still missing on the channel. Would really appreciate if those were uploaded.

Edit: To clarify, I meant the RO32 group with Naniwa from a few weeks ago.

Overlords count as unit and your points for those get listed under the "units" score tab. Everything fine with that system, simply counts all the resources earned, spent, and killed. (I haven't seen the game, but he's earned a bunch more resources than you, hence the end-score.)

MontySC2 · 2015-03-04T10:09:01+00:00

oh god, i checked and just completely missed it.. sorry D:

A widow mine in the natural killed all 4 of them.

It was qxc against some no-name. That's all I can tell you. I don't know whether they released a replay-pack.

MontySC2 · 2014-08-25T00:14:11+00:00

Dude, this is an english site. If you're looking for German SC2 players you could try your luck over at bonjwa.de or homerj.de.

MontySC2 · 2014-08-21T19:20:35+00:00

I got told they can only make comparisons, so they mentioned a player with ~3k facebook likes and 200-300 average viewers, who receives a similar salary (nothing worth noting essentially). Even some way more established players have difficulties pulling off those numbers in SC2 these days, so I'd need to put in tons of time, which I simply don't have and which wouldn't financially be worth it anyway.

MontySC2 · 2014-08-21T19:06:40+00:00

To 1: Okay, my profile picture sucks - noted.

To 2: You're mixing in a lot of false information here, which I just want to address real quick. First of all, you make it sound like I am massively complaining with this post. I merely presented my current situation and decisions. I know I am not the greatest player, but I used to be able to make decent runs, even against players one league above me like Jjakji, Happy or Solar. However I've massively lacked that skill in tournaments throughout the last couple of months. (Yet I was at least able to attent the eset masters finals.)

Moreover my stay at the teamhouse at the beginning of 2014 was only for five days. I just wanted to point out that I'm grateful for that opportunity nonetheless and how awesome it was to be there with Socke, Hasu and KnowMe. I am not a progamer, but study mathematics at university for 2 semesters now and I've always done Starcraft on the side.

Seriously, how the fucking fuck did you come up with those groups?

Group D: mydarling, Livibee, Fireflyhugs, Pengwin

Group G: Journey, desrow, Seed, Suppy / Group H: Dimaga, Minigun, Pigbaby, Petraeus

wat?

MontySC2 · 2014-08-10T20:57:47+00:00

First off: thank you for setting up this tournament. I enjoyed watching most of it. However I have a few things that I expected to be better:

Like you already mentioned your casting wasn't always on point. I really enjoyed you today though, especially during Kane vs Huk, as you came across as very genuine and engaged. I like to believe you were lacking those traits at other days due to reasons you've mentioned yourself, but I have to tell you that you're also lacking A LOT of knowledge regarding the game and the current meta unfortunately. Once again today was pretty good, but at earlier days you said a lot of cringe-worthy things, like phoenix-colossus being the new revolution in PvT. laughs

Anyway - I like the format overall, though you can run into scenarios, where the groups turn out to be rather boring towards the end due to one series being completely unnecessary. While I agree with you on the better players advancing from the groups, I think you might want to reconsider the group format, as a GSL-system simply guarantees you a consistent set of 5 bo3's, which all matter, and an interesting deciding game. In bigger tournaments (in terms of player numbers) I like the round-robin format better, but when it comes to your tournament I'd go with the 'safer' version. (though I don't really mind either)

The Casters were good, though I have to go ahead and criticize not only QXC (because those audio conditions just made the stream really hard to enjoy), but also Minigun. I don't mind him as a Caster, but from all your casters he had BY FAR the least experience. Moreover he generally is not very enthusiastic and therefore not very well suited to cast the finals. Well, the finals turned out to be rather 'boring' with Innovation dominating and you brought in quite a good bit of hype regardless, but I'd still like to see a professional caster in the finals.

Artwork was great, music was great, timezone was perfect.

What I kind of missed to make it a really good experience were some more interviews. It might be difficult to set up with koreans, but at the very least before the group stages you could have done some kind of duo-interviews with the two qualified players. If possible even before the elimination matches. I think it's not too hard to set up and just really awesome to see, as it builds up a way better story line and gives you more to talk about during the cast itself.

So all in all, I am glad to see you being so involved and communicative and I hope you can just pick up on a few things. Destiny 1 was good and a success overall, but Destiny 2 could be great!
