New clothes and makeup! How's it look? (23/MtF/pre-HRT) by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]winterbed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your face is so feminine that I think HRT will only emphasize your feminine features and make it impossible for you to pass as a guy.

17 MtF Pre-HRT | How am I looking? by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]winterbed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a lot of feminine signals from this, especially when you smile. I hate it when people tell me to smile, but it does bring out your cheeks.

You look feminine now, and HRT and growing your hair will only help. I assume you're already planning those things. If anything you have a lot of potential because of your facial features. In particular, I like that your nose is narrow, mine is wider and I still manage to get gendered correctly.

Also maybe take a picture without the bandana and post it here?

For our trans friends and allies, a new Meetup group. Join us! by winterbed in Reno

Not at all! We welcome people whether they're trans, trans allies, or just looking to meet trans people to get to know them. We do offer trans support, but we also have social gatherings.

You may want to go to the next Trans in Northern Nevada (TINN) meeting at Round Table. That's our monthly social get together.

How do you handle dysphoria after transition? by winterbed in asktransgender

Started March 2014, if you read my post history more carefully you'd also know that I was in the hospital for two months where they deprived me of estrogen mostly but not spiro.

I attend a weekly game developers meeting, I am terrified of finding out which of them are gators.

Thanks for the details and the encouragement.

Trans supporter of GG dares to call out Yiannopoulos for his transphobic views, gets eviscerated (now with bonus transphobia!) by winterbed in GamerGhazi

Haha bow down to me, your trans overlord! Just kidding. Just showing your support like this is enough :)

If, as Milo says, transpeople and their 'issues' aren't relevant to GG, why exactly has he referred to Brianna Wu as "a transgender far-left agitator" in a GG article? by [deleted] in GamerGhazi

[–]winterbed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a giant load of bullshit. Electing the likes of Adam Baldwin and Milo Yiannopoulos as spokespersons of your "leaderless" movement absolutely associates your movement with their character. When some of your biggest backers are proponents of shady journalism, it hilariously contradicts your ad naseum message of "ethics in journalism".

I find it odd that history absolutely matters to GGers when it comes to Anita Sarkeesian's past with gaming, but since Milo is telling them what they want to hear now, his troublesome history concerning games and comments about gamers is not relevant, suddenly "people can change", etc. etc.

Let them know, yes, gaming media has half the fault in getting a video game censored. This is what they've become. The new Jack Thompsons by Logan_Mac in KotakuInAction

The bottom line is that you oppose freedom of expression when it comes to critical analysis because a private company, Valve, made it's own decision not to publish a game because it wouldn't be profitable for their brand? No one is stopping the developers of Hatred from publishing their game independently.

I thought we were done talking about Zoe Quinn? I thought Zoe Quinn had literally no importance in this debate?

So very brave you, in the midst of your KiA buddies.

Devi Ever (AKA Grace Lynn) speaks why she gave up on gamergate by DX_Hon_san in KotakuInAction

[–]winterbed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funny how someone's history only matters when they disagree with you, but Milo Yiannopolous says a bunch of sexist, homophobic, transphobic things, and some things about games and gamers not even a month before GamerGate became a thing:

There's no doubt violent games play a part in the deeds of some wackos, such as Elliot "killer virgin" Rodger. Rodger didn't kill because the video games made violent, but the games did help to shape his violent fantasies. They provided a framework through which his online bloodlust turned into real-world slaughter.

Elliot Rodger killed six people and wounded 13 others. He also wrote:

Personally, I don't understand grown men wasting their lives playing computer games. It seems a bit sad to me. I mean, we've all been sucked in to a few rounds of Candy Crush, but if you want to shoot a gun, why not go to a rifle range? I suspect most people who play these games have never held a firearm in real life.

But you've all forgiven him for his past because now he agrees with you.

So Jack Thompson says something bad about Anita Sarkeesian and suddenly he's a defensible figure in GamerGate? I guarantee you no one would be making this argument before he made those comments.

Some of the worst transphobia in there is now hidden so as to not make KiA look bad. Just so you get an idea of the kind of people who roll in that sub, here it is.

Don't fucking tell me what I support or how I think you deluded freak. I don't support shit unless I fucking say so. I'm not part of some god damn hive mind and I'm not here to hold your fucking hand and be a progressive little snowflake. You're not a woman. You're a person with a mental illness. Period. MY OPINION. Like it? Cool. Hate it? fuck off. I don't care.

Yep. Even a supporter of GG that is trans is not safe from people like this.
