That’s called meta-roleplaying, honestly not a fan of it. It really limits and ruins the experience, both in video games and TTRPGs. The goal of fantasy is to do things you can’t do, to be someone who isn’t you.

It’s a bad practice that I was told when learning TTRPGs that I should work on breaking it. You can get much more out of the game if you do. Like why limit yourself to a certain race or class just because you think it’s what you’d be if you were in the game, that’s not you in the game, it’s someone else, whoever you want it to be in fact, don’t squander that opportunity.

It’s one thing that always puzzled me about this argument. Like in a fantasy you should be aiming to try new things, think outside of the box. I mean some people maybe don’t but in my opinion if you’re not then in my opinion you’re playing the game wrong.

I can’t, I barely have any androgens at all (only small levels of testosterone and estrogen in equal parts), that’s probably a bad thing and I probably should be taking hormones of some kind but I’d prefer my body not be masculine or feminized, and I’m also too lazy to get them prescribed. I mean it’s worked out well enough for me for the past 20 or so years so it’ll probably be fine, and if it isn’t oh well I guess.

Should also crosspost this to !femboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone I think this seems relevant for that community, too bad we don’t have a c/femboymemes, this would go even better there.

Glad I could be helpful, if anyone is interested I made a community to discuss Isogender experiences !isogender@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Well you’d benefit from that part then.

Yeah, it’s nice to see more people posting here again.

You didn’t do anything wrong by the way OP, I just leave these reminders on posts where it seems like violations may happen in the comments to remind others to keep it together.

Do you at least want to be cute and feminine?

You can always shave or use hair remover products, most femboys do that since they usually still have body hair. Hell most women do that, because even women have body hair.

Of course, as long as they’re valid reposts to related communties/groups (can also post it to Masotodon) and you don’t spam.

Yeah, it sucks when the country you live in is unaccepting or hostile and/or also enforces stupid gender stereotypes of what people can and can’t wear. I’m glad I live somewhere that is largely accepting, it sucks to deal with people who are transphobic or hostile towards gender-non-conformity.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing feminine clothes for Halloween, or even just for the hell of it. Clothes are cloth and anyone can wear them, I’ll never understand people who are so funny about some people wearing certain clothes or try to restrict others from wearing them for no good reason.
Just let people wear fem clothes if they want to.

A gun works better, I keep a small handgun with me sometimes for self-defense. Other times I do carry pepper spray but I feel better carrying a gun. I just know I could better defend myself with that than the pepper spray.

I already took mine. I have alarms on my phone to take them, it’s very important because I have ADHD really bad.

Personally I like my name, it’s a very nice and ambiguous name. I definitely need to work on that second one though.

Wow, that’s not okay. I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’ve had similar experiences myself with egging but it probably wasn’t anywhere near as bad as what you went through. I hope you’re doing better and are with better people who respect you for who you are.

No harm in exploring gender presentation, sometimes it can lead you to discover something about yourself, and even if it doesn’t that’s okay. There can be benefit in doing it even if you don’t get anything major out of it.

Honestly I think it’s best not to make to much out of this kind of thing, it can mean something but it can also be part of exploring.
