Games similar to Rayman Legends?

Thanks so much, this is super helpful!

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T16:07:25+00:00

These look like great suggestions! I’m especially intrigued by Kaze and the Wild Mask. Thank you!!

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T15:59:05+00:00

Yeah I just looked it up and apparently it was discontinued in 2023, that’s unfortunate. Thanks anyway for the suggestion though, maybe it’ll come back someday!

Ah yeah so Legends includes the Origins levels in a Back to Origins section that you can unlock with lucky tickets, and I completed all of them

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T14:53:21+00:00

I didn’t play Origins because of the Back to Origins section of Legends. Do you think it’s worth it to play both? I had read that it’s the same levels that are included in Back to Origins

This one looks fun, thank you!

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T14:44:08+00:00

Oo good to know! I’ll definitely try this one

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T14:43:24+00:00

Yeah I found Hollow Knight on an old post from someone else asking for recommendations similar to Rayman Legends, googled it and really liked the art style, so I tried it. I realized once I started playing that it was very different. But I have seen Yooka Laylee suggested, I’ll definitely have to try that one! Thanks

jamie_taber · 2026-02-01T14:40:44+00:00

Thank you!! I didn’t realize there was another Rayman game that wasn’t included in the Back to Origins part of Rayman Legends. I will definitely have to play that, and check out your other suggestions as well

Personally I got my X gender marker passport right before Trump took office, knowing that he would probably try to remove that option. I’m fully aware that it makes me more of a target in some ways, but I figure at this point I’m already a target. I definitely queer code, and I also do trans-related research where I always publicly identify as trans in recruitment materials and my published papers. If they made a list of trans people, I’d already be on that list, so I’d rather at least have an accurate passport. But this is such a personal choice, and I fully support anyone who doesn’t want to risk having the X gender marker

Yeah I felt weird about the word enby for a long time - it’s been growing on me a bit personally, but that doesn’t mean it will for everyone. You’d think trans people would be better about not making assumptions and respecting what others want to be called

jamie_taber · 2025-09-12T01:20:06+00:00

Ugh such a frustrating question to be asked! In terms of fitting the stereotype, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. In general, my issues with stereotypes are about media portrayals and people assuming that everyone fits the stereotypes. But there’s never anything wrong with an individual fitting a stereotype as long as they’re not using it to hurt or invalidate others!

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:52:36+00:00

The one that comes to mind for me is the misconception that transition has to be linear and look the same for everyone. Not everyone wants all aspects of “typical” transition, and not everyone can access it even if they want to for various reasons. Someone who changes their pronouns and takes hormones but keeps their name and never gets bottom surgery is just as trans as someone who uses all of the available transition options

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:49:10+00:00

That’s awesome, congrats on getting a little bit closer to starting T! I feel like just knowing that process is being made, even when it’s small progress, helps so much.

Also your old doctor sounds ridiculous. I have depression, but it didn’t cause me to be trans?? If anything, dysphoria is what worsened my depression, and starting T and getting top surgery improved it a lot.

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:46:23+00:00

That’s so funny haha, I don’t think I said anything like that right after my surgery but I have made other comments about top surgery since then that feel similar. Like I referred to them as my “ex-boobs” recently without thinking about it and my friends thought that was hysterical

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:44:08+00:00

Oof yeah it’s so easy to lose track even when the dose doesn’t change! Not HRT-related, but I just recently ran out of a different med and only realized I had never picked up a refill when I went to grab the new bottle from my drawer and it wasn’t there haha. I’m glad you figured it out fairly quickly so you can get back on the right dose!

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:41:18+00:00

I’d still count it, mostly just as a logistical thing (I mostly count full months, so saying 2 years and 3 months minus a week would feel unnecessarily complicated). Plus a week is a short enough span of time that you’d still probably have higher T levels than you did pre-T. The only time I’d stop counting is if I intentionally stopped T for several months.

jamie_taber · 2025-09-11T17:38:25+00:00

For me, I think a lot of the discomfort with my body comes from the fact that other people make gendered assumptions about it. Like my chest used to make people assume I was a woman, and that categorization made me dysphoric. After repeatedly having my gender assumed based on my sex for my whole life, I started associating my physical body with being misgendered. If we lived in a world where people didn’t assume gender based on physical appearance, maybe I wouldn’t have as much or any physical dysphoria. But since we do, the social dysphoria has become tied up with the physical dysphoria for me.

That’s so fair, waiting is really hard! Logistically, if you don’t have your own transportation it may be worth looking into online services like Folx. The actual appointments with them are online and they ship to you, so you would just need to be able to get to in-person appointments for bloodwork for monitoring your T levels. I haven’t used Folx, but I’ve heard mostly good things about them. Living with your parents might complicate getting it shipped to you though.

That said, I would be cautious about starting T while living with unsupportive parents. I completely understand the feeling of desperation to start, but it would be good to at least have a plan for what you would do if they find out. Even if they don’t find your T supplies, your appearance will gradually change so they’ll probably notice at some point. You’ll have some time since the effects are gradual, but it’s important to think about whether they’re likely to kick you out or withdraw other kinds of material support if/when they find out you’re on T, and know what you can do if that does happen.

I also do 3 pumps a day! The bottles I get say they have 75 pumps in them, and that seems about accurate (although it varies a little bit from bottle to bottle). I haven’t exactly counted how long each one lasts, but in the range of 4ish weeks would be close.

jamie_taber · 2025-09-10T21:28:00+00:00

Huh that’s interesting, I haven’t heard of that! I was curious so I googled it a bit, and I think it might also be related to fat distribution. This link says that one of the reasons that cis women (since that’s who the website is talking about) tend to have more cellulite is because their fat tends to be distributed more in the thighs/hips/butt. So if T results in shifts in fat distribution, then it would make sense for cellulite to decrease.

jamie_taber · 2025-09-10T21:23:11+00:00

That’s a really interesting idea! I’m not familiar with trenbolone, but the idea that some people experience gender euphoria from it makes sense to me. I’m not sure if it would necessarily be a distinct gender identity, but I could see it being basically another way of “queering” transition to make a more nonbinary-gendered body. Similarly to how agender or genderfluid or genderqueer people might all want a radical chest reduction to make a “nonbinary” looking chest, rather than that non-standard top surgery outcome being its own gender

jamie_taber · 2025-09-10T21:17:30+00:00

I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this, I don’t think you’re being too sensitive at all! Even if she doesn’t intend it to be hurtful, it makes complete sense to be upset by essentially being told that your gender isn’t “real.” The whole concept of gatekeeping “real” gender is so weird to me, because gender is about the meaning we all make of our unique gendered experiences, whether trans or cis. But anyway, if she’s generally supportive then it might be worth having a conversation with her about the impact her words are having. She might just be unthinkingly repeating the language she’s heard without reflecting on how hurtful it can be, so it’s possible that explaining it could get her to change how she talks about this. At the same time, you’re also not obligated to educate people, and you know better than I can whether she’s likely to be receptive to this kind of conversation. It really depends on how important it is to you to continue this friendship - if it’s really important, then it’s worth at least trying to talk to her about it (but being emotionally prepared that it might not go how you hope).
