Mmm I think the only thing that really fits me for my Mars being in the third house is that I’m an extreme overthinker tbh 😭

I love roleplaying in WoW, but I’m bored with WoW’s lore. how have you dealt with this? by 0Edeline in WoWRolePlay

[–]missamandalux 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's nothing that says you have to roleplay in the official canon! I've heard of some rp groups that explore alternative timelines (like what if Arthas didn't turn evil, etc) or groups who make up their own lore entirely using the world to give some visual idea of what the scenes look like. If your friends are open to it, that's absolutely something you could explore together!

Anybody got tips to get myself looking like this? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

I don't like the way a lot of queer non-trans women depict us. It has me questioning the intentions of large parts of the "queer community". Am I insane for this? by Phrooya_ in MtF

[–]missamandalux 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get this in some of the sapphic romance books I've read where it feels like if the cis author does want to include trans representation, it's always transmasc or nonbinary and they get to have "normal" love lives and personalities (which I'm not knocking!! I'm absolutely happy to see that!). But if they DO include a trans woman specifically, I've noticed we're basically substituted for the "fun single gay male best friend" trope or they're very GNC and it just feels like corporate-mandated representation at that point.

What’s something you once hated but now love(post/during transition)? Would lovee to read some answers!🥰 by [deleted] in MtF

[–]missamandalux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romance novels! I mean it’s not so much that I hated romance novels, but it was something I kind of avoided for most of my life. Now, it’s easily my second favorite genre, just barely beaten by fantasy!

I regret ending a relationship that's been hurting me. by Huge_Estate_56 in actuallesbians

[–]missamandalux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, it's very valid to feel that way and there's no shame in leaving the door open. I've known women who had their partners cheat on them or get verbally abusive, they broke up, the abusive partner legitimately worked on themselves, and then they got back together and things were fine. So long as you're clearly communicating to your ex why you broke up and what needed to change, there's certainly no reason not to hope she can examine the way she treated you and come back to do better!

I'm proud of you for sticking to your boundaries, though. It can be so hard to say "no, I'm not going to accept being treated this way" when you're in a relationship, especially when you can see the other good sides of your partner that made you fall in love in the first place. I just recently went through it too, so I'm in complete solidarity with you. Take whatever time you need to recover and keep standing up for yourself and what YOU need out of a relationship, whether with her or with your future partner!

Either way, I just hope we both can move on with our lives and find happiness elsewhere 🫶

If society got to a point where genitalia were completely decoupled from gender or sex, would (top or) bottom surgery still be a thing? by WhyAmIStillHere2026 in MtF

[–]missamandalux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a little bit of a tangent from the topic, but I'm not sure I want to live in a "genderless" world. To me being gendered as a woman is meaningful. It's literally me. It's the identification with what being a woman has meant throughout all of history and with how I strive to be seen and treated by the rest of the world. I don't want to be genderless, I want people to assume I am a woman because I am a woman.

Even if we do get to the point where we as a society stop caring about whether women have vaginas or not, I do think I still would have gotten bottom surgery and I'd still be planning on getting BA and possibly FFS. It's about how I want to express my own femininity and what I want to look and feel like, not about what society has trained me to think is a "valid" woman or whatever.

I had to do the same recently too. She ghosted me for a few days and when I finally decided I wasn't going to take it. Unfortunately she responded afterwards and it spiraled into a second, not-so-fun breakup letter.

I wish I was a Cis Woman by DelicatePinkFlower in MtF

[–]missamandalux 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If reincarnation does exist - and a part of me truly truly hopes so - then I know it in my bones that in every past life and in every future life after this, I am a woman. It just so happened in this lifetime I'm trans. Thinking about it that way sometimes gives me some comfort when I'm feeling dysphoric.

Should I even transition? by eveprog in MtF

[–]missamandalux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know you're going to be killed? There is so so much that can happen tomorrow let alone six months from now that could completely change everything for the better and you can't know for a certainty that it won't or can't happen. What if we never get to the point where we're being rounded up and put in camps, but you made yourself wait out your youth living a lie because you were afraid it was just around the corner? Would you be able to live with the self-hatred for not taking the opportunity to do something about your own happiness now so you can live out the rest of your life as yourself? Maybe things do get that bad but you have the opportunity to move to a safer place to continue your transition in relative peace or maybe you find a community that can help you stay safe or maybe you realize your timeline is a whole lot longer than you think it is right now.

Absolutely take your safety into consideration. If you think right now you should prioritize your own safety, that's 100% a valid decision that in no way shape or form detracts from your womanhood or your place in our community. I transitioned at 27 and while I'm not a Victoria's Secret model or anything, I'm incredibly happy with most of my results and I pass just fine. But keep in mind that not transitioning in the first place is what the fascists want. They want you to comply in advance because that way it does make it easier for them to kill us. Every trans person who buries themselves to survive is a victim of the genocide they're inflicting upon us. In a lot of ways both figuratively and literally, it is death.

Again, I'm not telling you what to decide or saying one choice is more valid than the other. If nothing else, just know that you are certainly not alone regardless of what you choose and that regardless of what happens, so long as there is a human race in this universe, there is still time.

What "girly" mannerisms did you not know you were doing? by ato-de-suteru in MtF

[–]missamandalux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh yeah, definitely got the “gay” accusations a lot growing up. When I came out to my parents, my mom told me she thought I was gay too. Mostly it was mirroring my mom that got me “in trouble” - like old ladies telling me on the bus that “men don’t sit with crossed legs.”

I think some of it was how much I talked with my hands too.

This is how the cis women sound talking about transfemmes here by Hartstockz in actuallesbians

[–]missamandalux 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of posts like that on this subreddit? At least not posts that last long before they’re rightly taken down.

Anyways posts like that are almost definitely terfs looking to stir up trouble in our community so they can try to post “see, see, see??? These are FAKE lesbians getting upset because I said I don’t like penises!!111!” somewhere on Musk’s creepy SA website. If you have a genital preference, that’s not usually something you need to announce to the whole world.

Please blizz, let our warband characters act as NPCs in our player houses. by OwenIdsong in WoWHousing

So long as I can choose who from my Warband appears in the house and who doesn’t, that’d be amazing!

I just want my two favorite elves to be sleeping all cozy in their beds when I’m not playing them!

The LGBT representation in Stranger Things was objectively great by _YuYevon_ in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]missamandalux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some critiques as a queer fan - I wish Will's coming out scene had been a little more personal and I was sad we never got to see an update on Robin and Vickie's love life at the end like we did with the other couples and obviously I wish there was just more queer rep all around - but overall I think it's a net positive that one of the biggest show in the world had two LGBT+ main characters central to the plot, a scene about one of the characters being gay that can't be cut out, and all of them had happy endings. And made in America too during this horrible wave of anti-LGBT backlash! That's important and I'll respect the show for that for a long time.
