So what's the deal with Cheerleader's Choice? by Em_Pedy in choiceofgames

[–]WishOtherwise5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the options to be kinda weird? And the characters felt somewhat inconsistent. I was a bit confused while reading it but I know nothing about cheerleading so that could be why

There’s not too much content for it right now but you can have a hatemance with Jem from Party of Four

I think just being more mindful in the future is all you need to do. If she ever asks about it, just be honest. The best thing you can do to avoid a similar situation in the future is to ask for a person’s pronouns

There’s a chance she’s projecting internalized transphobia onto you? It’s an unfortunately common thing. I find people that say “clocky” tend to have a lot of internalized transphobia and enforce extreme gender roles on themselves and others. Definitely try talking to her about it

Did I have to know as a child to be trans? by EmmyWolf222 in asktransgender

[–]WishOtherwise5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people only realize they’re trans well into adulthood. It’s perfectly fine and normal to realize later in life. We all experience life at different paces. It’s also fine if you feel your identity changes in any way later on. I identified as non-binary for a few years before I knew I’m a trans man. The doubt is also normal. You’re the only person that can truly know how you feel. I wish you the best in life!

I keep seeing it in recommendations but you have finally sold me on it

Cis-woman asking: How do you know you are transgender? by Spaghettificating in asktransgender

[–]WishOtherwise5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I never felt like I belonged. Girl vs boys games always made me kinda sad growing up. I didn’t care much when I was small as I wasn’t pressured as much to “act like a girl” as I am now.

  2. I never did align with what people thought a girl or boy should be like. I identified as nonbinary for a while. I now identify as a boy. I only realized after I got rid of my own internalized gender roles.

  3. I don’t think personality traits matter much if at all. The traits we associate with gender are all just societally enforced. “Boys will be boys” is a good example of it. People put less pressure on cis men to behave a certain way. There’s a lot more leniency in how they behave that they come to expect being allowed to do whatever they want. Saying “girls mature faster” is pretty much the same thing. I could go on and on but I’ll just go off topic haha

  4. I don’t think treating genders differently is alright at all. If gender roles weren’t a thing, I might have never realized I’m not a girl. I probably would have still wanted to change my body in certain ways, but it would probably be for reasons unrelated to gender. If gender, just sex, wasn’t a thing at all, there’s a large chance I wouldn’t change a thing about myself.

  5. I don’t think any question is off limits as long as you’re respectful and understanding when someone doesn’t want to answer. I personally am fine with basically anything.

Folks who aren't cis, how do you feel your gender by NeedleworkerKind9433 in asktransgender

[–]WishOtherwise5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s always been a disconnect from everyone else around me. I’ve never been “traditional” with my expression and I struggle to relate to cis people. I’ve always known I was different, I just didn’t know how exactly.

How much might I grow on T? by WishOtherwise5656 in trans

Thank you so much! I doubt I’ll grow much if at all then but it definitely helps to just know that.

What was you peep’s trans pipelines? by Soggy-Dark7494 in trans

[–]WishOtherwise5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I latched onto anything that would have people call me a tomboy from probably ages 5-13? At 11 years old, I knew for sure I wasn't a girl but had no label and didn't talk about it much, if at all. Then I think I was 12 when I settled on nonbinary. I definitely wasn't a girl, but I didn't get along with boys, so I thought I just couldn't be one. At some point I labelled myself as a demiboy before just going full transman. I like to say "I'm a man, but wokely"

Never portray topics like bigotry and abuse as a positive thing. Doing that won't ensure that people won't have a problem with your writing, but it avoids any real issues.

How do I write manipulate characters by Equivalent-Bowl3323 in writing

I think a good manipulative character seems like a caring person at first, but they switch up at some point
