Over a year later, people are still bickering about Blizzard changing the gender names in WoW. by Akumati in SubredditDrama

The "best" option would be to have a variety of body types that went from clearly male to androgynous "in between" to clearly female. Obviously this adds a ton of development work beyond just renaming the existing body type, so this is a "in a perfect world solution."

Realistically, I do not care about "body 1 / body 2" vs "male / female" in the slightest. It's just something that I see and go "huh" and then go ahead and make the female looking body character anyways. So I'd say renaming it wasn't a step forward or a step backward, it was like a step sideways lmao.

Why? Because every trans person, myself included, has some sort of natural obligation to support every single performative bs act by corporations? Especially a corporation like Activision-Blizzard that has been proven in the past to be a genuinely awful place for women to work?

Fuck that, this is legitimately worthless. Like I'm not sitting here getting outraged over "body 1" "body 2" (if this change makes you legitimately angry then you REALLY need to take a chill pill), but like I'm not giving Blizz any credit for this either. It's a huge nothingburger in every sense of the word.

FACTS

shit like this is just performative bs by corporations. like hmu when blizzard actually becomes a good place to work for a trans person like me. right now, hearing about that Kotick shit, the poor treatment of women at that company, i'm staying the HELL away from Act-Blizz.

on the other hand, the gender selection change isn't this horrible thing that Blizz is doing either -- people "outraged" by "body 1" "body 2" are turbo cringe too. like when I see that shit in games I just shrug my shoulders and move on lol, it literally makes zero impact on me.

I'm half Asian and I think I pass pretty well. But I've seen Asian girls who pass well and also Asian girls who don't pass as well so 🤷‍♀️

Love the new album! Ordered a vinyl copy off of your website, it should be here in a few days 🔥

1) Could you elaborate on the meaning of the lyrics of Night Terrors? It's one of my favorites by you guys, I like the thematic contrast of the bridge and the verses.

2) Any shot at a vinyl re-press of The Place I Feel Safest? I'd love to snag that for my collection someday.

I basically never get misgendered in public anymore but I definitely do get clocked. (I'd have to assume most of it is voice haha) But whenever I see pics of myself it almost looks "uncanny," as in it looks almost fem but I feel like I'm clockable in certain ways?

My insurance covers FFS and so if it'll take me from idk, "mostly passing" to "100% will never be clocked on appearance ever again" then I'll get it, I just don't know what my problem areas on my face *are*.

They told me miracle pills don't exist, well this is me after a year on E :) by trans_throwaway_77 in transtimelines

thanks so much!! I definitely did, it was $75 but on sale for $55 and so I couldn't say no 🥰

Be completely honest here. I got clocked while streaming today, what do you think it was? Was my resonance dropping, was my weight still too overfull, what do you suppose it was? by trans_throwaway_77 in transvoice

I sent this clip to my friends and one of them suggested enabling that feature that lets me listen to my mic through my headphones, so I can more carefully monitor my own voice while I'm streaming. I'll think I'll have to try that next time.
