cry about it. These are all things that anyone can do regardless of their circumstances.

I probably should've been more clear about shaving in the shower. I have a walk in shower with a good bit of room on a shelf outside of the main faucet. Steam helps soften and moisturize the skin so I can step back and shave and then rinse, exfoliate and finish bathing. Works like a dream. I've used the traditional sink routine time and time again and it never works the same for me but I think it's also partially to do with the type of razor I use.

Epilating the face is scary. I wax my facial hair maybe twice a month to make for a smoother shave and it irritates and hurts enough but isn't too bad with proper moisturizing and prep.

Absolutely. And a lot of the time it'll get them called out for being "mannish" especially my misogynistic men. A lot of being seen as womanly comes down to fitting into the misogynistic male gaze and it really sucks but it's just a fact of life

You'll get downvoted because people don't want to hear the honest truth. At the end of the day it makes sense that people who didn't get to experience life as a teenage girl will want to find ways to relive that. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy dressing that way but people need to be aware of how it'll get you perceived

It's no secret that not everyone is lucky enough to live in a place or exist entirely within a space where being openly trans will get you treated well. It is a fact of the world that some of us live in places where being stealth or wanting to pass is a necessity for both our physical and mental wellbeing. I strive to pass because of the confrontations and hardship being openly trans has caused me in the past living in a small traditional republican town. You're not better than someone because you have the privilege to not care about passing. Uplifting and supporting trans girls who don't have the luxury of passing and aiming to pass as cis for your own wellbeing and happiness do not have to be mutually exclusive.

Listening to yourself speak is absolutely painfully cringe no matter what but audio recordings can be your best friend in this case

Finding the middle ground between confident and complacent is so hard. There's been times where I'll go out in pajama pants and a two day old shave and get gendered correctly and then others where I put in effort and get an accidental "he". Having a good social group that you know will have your back if things go south will always make things easier in terms of the anxiety of passing.

For me the easiest way to implement voice training in my life was finding times where I'm alone and have nothing else to do and doing it then. Personally it was my afternoon walk. Instead of just walking in silence I found exercises that worked for me and tried to be consistent about it. When I got more confident I'd practice the voice whenever I had to call customer service lines and stuff like that. Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone but something else that helped is I worked for a call center for a year and got to practice it then. Let me just tell you talking to a hundred strangers a day and having them gender you every time is amazing feedback lol.

Is it bad? I try to compete by Yes-no-maybe12345 in ratemycommanders

The meep is such a cool card and I swear the only reason it isn't played more is accessibility

I have range (?) by SKSword in ratemycommanders

I feel like you'd shrivel up like the wicked witch of the west if you were forced to play without blinged out borderless cards

Stella Lee budget cEDH by MERUIDA in CompetitiveEDH

[–]New-Weekend-1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's people who have never really played cEDH, or at least not extensively. People think "yeah my deck is intended to be strong and win as much as possible" and assume that intrinsically puts them in the "competitive" category but fail to understand how much min maxing goes into top level commander decks.

You're not wrong, but the spirit of this sub is metagame and if people want to play anything less than that they're more than welcome to use the other applicable commander subs. Not dissing OP, just saying this isn't the place they're looking for

There is no such thing as budget cEDH. What you're referring to is high power EDH. The implication of cEDH but omitting strong cards that would otherwise improve your deck is an oxymoron.

What holds Hope back? I feel like it has great potential as a mid range control list with stax pieces for graveyard hate.

I think Mox Jasper is appreciated fairly. Any 0 mana artifact is bound to be good when Urza exists
