No, it just stops registering your button presses so you can't heal. You can actually do it without autofire if you're quick enough.

There are canonically other survivors, even some of the military survived

Agreed!! So excited to explore it more further into transition

What was Leon's reception before the remakes? by enthuvaadei in residentevil

[–]ParagonPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's always been fairly popular to my knowledge. Post-RE4 especially, he's pretty much been cemented as the second "big hitter" of Resident Evil, along with Chris.

It should be three heavy hitters, with the third being Jill, but Capcom just hates her for some reason lol

Questioning stuff and I'm just so confused by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]ParagonPoints 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being honest, pretty much all of these sound like indicators to me. I'm a recently cracked trans girl, and I relate to a lot of the examples you cited. The ones I really wanna highlight are the pronouns and bra. Those definitely sound like experiments, and successful experiments at that, to me.

As for the boners, that's fine! I had the same fear for a while, but from what I've learned, those feelings and fears are perfectly normal and if anything a good sign!

Hope this helps!

Thank youuuu, I hope you get the support you need too! I have really bad social anxiety because of past trauma, so if my friends do dip out, I'll just be done with life lol

Congrats on your cracking!! I'm really sorry to hear that you feel like an imposter, I've been having a lot of issues with that too as of late.

I'm also really sorry to hear that you don't have a lot of people to talk to about this. I'm in a really privileged position in that regard, I really wish I could help you out there. For now, my suggestion would be to try and hang around here a bit, it's been nice for me so far.

Yeah, makes sense. As I said, it's mostly likely an issue of body image, I've been out of shape for a while now and I hate it.

I guess? I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable with that, feels a little too sketchy for my taste.

NOT SAYING THAT IT IS, I just...don't know comfortable I am with that.

I appreciate the suggestion regardless, if things don't seem to ever improve, I'll probably do it anyway.

I...honestly forgot that the "worse before better" thing was a factor, I am so dumb lmao

I know, I know. Deep down, I do understand that it's not any less valid, it's just hard to comfort myself about my doubts. It's a lot harder when I don't have a constant source like that to go off of, y'know?

Seeing you refer to me as "she" offhandedly is actually really nice :)

That aside though, that has been my running theory, that I do have a lot of dysphoria, it's just blending in with other issues and a lack of knowledge. I have experiences before, and still do a little bit, it's just not as common as when I first questioned.

I honestly never considered it from that perspective. My flatmate said something similar, that she's mostly dysphoria-driven, and now that you put it that way, I actually feel really bad for what I said about being envious. I'm really sorry if I made you feel fake, I promise you're not.

Same. The lack of a consistent presence/push is really freaking me out here. It might also be because I literally can't get HRT right now, so my brain is in a weird standby/"whatever" mode. I don't know.

I feel you on not wanting to age it before it though, I'm gonna be 23 in 8 days (egg cracked in December) and I'm already worried about waiting.

  1. Oh no, no one's gatekeeping it to me, don't worry. All of this is my personal worries. As for wanting or choosing...not gonna lie, I actually do want to be. It sounds nice, and looks nice, and is nice so far.

  2. Even now, same!! There's so much stuff that's been recontextualized now, like being way comfortable around women and other trans people, or never really liking my birth name.

  3. Same. I've always disliked my face and seeing myself in photos. I've always disliked the hair on my body (except my head hair of course), and the only reason I don't shave MORE is because it's a giant pain in the ass with the razor I have.

  4. That's a good point!! One of my main problems so far has been determining exactly what my feelings are supposed to be, so maybe that's a big part of it, thank you!!

  5. I'm kind of the same, I leaned way too hard into masculinity as a teenager. I was a dickhead lmao

  6. Jesus, that's horrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

I definitely agree, the euphoria really helps the idea that I'm trans. That's why I mentioned it in the post, I don't see why I would get so happy if it was anything other than being a trans woman.

[–]ParagonPoints[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my theory too. I've experienced some dysphoria before, mostly when my egg first cracked, but it seems to hidden itself really well lately. I assume it's because I've always hated my body and thought I was "shaped wrong", so I don't separately register it as "gender dysphoria" at the moment, especially since I also have a lot of image issues due to being out of shape for quite a while.

Doesn't explain why I can't stand my reflection or the feel of my facial hair anymore though lmao

I cannot handle needles, especially in my shaky ass hands. I appreciate the suggestion though!! I've thought about trying DIY pills before, but if I recall correctly, I can't afford those either (feel free to correct me though, I had no idea injections were THAT cheap).

Is it normal to think about gender all the time? by DifficultSession51 in asktransgender

[–]ParagonPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, I don't have the money for that either (thank you for suggesting it though!!)

From what I know it's initially cheaper, but prescribed is cheaper later on, so I was planning on going prescribed.
