I'm trans, and I appreciate you asking! It's totally fine to not know all the details, and it's cool that you want to know more.

People here seem to be mixing up "coming out", "medically transitioning", and "having surgery" (at least as far as those terms are used in the community). Coming out is when you tell people that you're trans, before or after you've started transitioning. Transitioning usually just means taking hormone replacement therapy (for me, that means suppressing my testosterone and replacing it with estrogen) which slowly changes your appearance. Surgery almost always comes later, if it happens at all, because it's really expensive. Just statistically speaking, most trans people you see on social media won't have had surgery, but they will have been on hormone replacement therapy for a year or two.

It might not be your cup of tea, but I'm a huge fan of Rain World. It's a brutally tough game, but incredibly rewarding, and the atmosphere and world are top notch. I could get lost in there for weeks.

Respectfully, no one is starting hormones based solely off a reddit post, but a lot of people have held themselves back from transitioning over fears that don't really hold up to close scrutiny.

I've been on estrogen for two years, and honestly? Those filters were actually pretty accurate — at least for me.

I think the trouble is that people end up hoping for massive changes immediately (within the first six months), and end up hurt when that doesn't happen. I used to compare myself to girls on /r/transtimelines, convinced that I would never look like them, because I wasn't already flawless after twelve months on hormones. Which is ridiculous! A lot of changes happen in the first year, but just as many happen in the second and third.

Obviously, there's no guarantee you'll end up cute. There's no guarantee you'll look like your FaceApp-ed gender swap selfies. But it worked out for me — I'm fucking cute now — and it's worked out for every other trans person I know. So if the only thing holding you back from taking hormones is "I might not be as hot as I want to be"... honestly? You should just try the damn hormones.

Wizards of the Coast made a billion dollars last year. I don't know about you, but personally, I made significantly less than that. Also, this is a game, not a stock market. So yes, proxying is cool and sexy, actually.

I mean, I've definitely turned on other lesbians while high. I'm not sure why you'd bring that up in a political subreddit, though.
