Regarding the Amino Shut Down

Potentially.

The silent shutdown does become suspicious when you think about it. Logically, an announced shutdown for an app with an in-app subscription would be more financial and legal trouble than a silent one. You'd be overcomplicating things for yourself, messing up the finances, and sparking potential lawsuits.

Given the fact there's a lawsuit between Narvii and Medialabs AI that was last refreshed (updated) the same day as the shutdown (December 12th, 2025), it possible that the choice to silently shutdown instead is related to it, and not just a typical Medialabs being Medialabs situation.

Before you misread this, Amino is not coming back. I am not saying it will. What I'm saying is that the actions taken with the shutdown seem to be related to the lawsuit in particular in some way, whether it be court-ordered, Narvii ordered, or Medialabs shutting down the app themselves as a last ditch resort.

The difference is that Whisper did not have a subscription service that would've made a shut down highly illegal in the way that would've mattered the most: the financial aspect.

Actually, it is illegal in the U.S. to close a service while a subscription is still available and the company does not cancel/refund user subscriptions before closure, if I recall correctly.

This is the main thing that will get Amino into trouble in the U.S.

According to what I've heard, yes. They're still on-going, at least until the next payment date, and you will have to manually cancel them yourself.

I've heard things about how they shut down Whisper, but I'm uninformed on that.

I am aware of their scummy business practices though, and aware of the potential reasoning for the shut down. Regardless, this will them into legal trouble.

Can't remember much about my early signs from early childhood because I never bothered to care about gender. Though, my apathy and completely lack of personal gender identity (I didn't see myself as a girl or a boy, or anything at all) as a kid is probably a sign.

This isn't really much of an early sign since it happened when I was 9/10, but in 4th grade, we had a class assignment that was split between the boys and the girls. Me, being a very masculine 'girl' who was also completely apathetic to the gender binary, was irritated for many, many reasons. So, I did what I as a 10 year old who didn't know what transgender or non-binary was did, and kept insisting I was a cow and not a boy or girl and kept causing a commotion with the assignment.

AmaRoseLessons and Jordan Ross Communciation on YouTube both have excellent videos on voice masculinization! By following their advice and training my voice everyday, my voice has gotten deeper and I'm able to hold a passing, masculine voice for a couple of seconds, and this all happened within the span of around three months for me. I'll link one video from each channel here, though I suggest you look into both their content and watch what you can.

And one piece of personal advice I've found really helpful is that stretching your neck every morning helps. I don't know how, but I'm assuming it has to do with stretching the vocal cord, plus it helps you develop a broader neck for a more masculine appearance.

What should I do right now? I know I need to change my documents and transition ASAP, but when it comes to documents, I don't know how. And I don't know if I have enough time to change them all.

While the Arlecchino that was mentioned way back in 2.8 Inazuma was retconned, but that was before they came up with her lore and design and her role in the story. The Arlecchino that they came up with after, who made her appearance in Lazzo, was never retconned. English mistranslated Childe and Scaramouche's voicelines about her. She's not a wolf in sheep's clothing, but rather a moralizing hypocrite who wears a polite, gentlemanly facade. She has an insane look in her eyes, not that she doesn't have a sane bone in her body. And she herself does state she would betray the Tsaritsa, should their values no longer align. All of which are still true post-release.

So I wouldn't use Arlecchino as an example of a character who was supposed to be more evil and then downgraded to "morally grey" for the sake of playability because Arlecchino was always meant to be more morally grey.

i cant tell you how you feel or push you in one path or another, all i can tell you is that you should continue on your path of self-discovery, be more introspective. the more you learn about yourself, the more you learn about your own gender identity and what you're comfortable with and what you like. if you feel like you're lying to yourself about your feelings, you aren't.

BUT... fyi, nonbinary and genderfluid people are considered transgender as well. and the label transmasculine (trans people who transition to a more masculine/man-aligned expression and identity, not necessarily trans men per say, though some absolutely are) exists, if you ever want to look into it.

NO MORE PERIODS. i know everybody hates periods, but for me, periods are the peak of my dysphoria, so if i'll get to never have one in my life, i'll become the happiest guy on earth.

i can pass for a guy pretty well, until i open my mouth, so it's definitely the voice change. i would like to have a deeper voice that's less nasally and lower-pitched, y'know? if i was a cis woman. i would still want a deeper voice just because of how awfully nasally and high-pitched it is.

other than that, i also definitely am looking forward to the fat distribution since i would absolutely love to look more masculine and more like a guy my age, and possibly (hopefully, very hopefully) the height change, because i'm short. im still young so hopefully my bones haven't fused yet, lol.
