The LGBT Thread

Glad to know I'm not the only trans person in this community :biggrin:

Sorta knew for years, but that never meant we didn't care for you any less. Some at @babybacon and @Miguel. While those are not my personal choices or ones I would make individually, I would never begrudge you and only wish you happiness and I'm not just saying that.

Honestly I didn't think it was too obvious, though admittedly I never really hid it but i never talked about it either lol

You made a comment a few years back in mumble that you didn't really care if we call you he or she as we didn't know how to address you pronoun wise. It was something minor I think where one of the folks couldn't tell if you were a he or a she. For some reason it stuck in mind at the time, and no I'm not blowing sunlight up your backside.
 
I was present for that conversation. I do believe I'd been muted for some reason or another.
 
I vaguely remember that conversation and tbh it was probably around the time I was starting to acknowledge "Something wasn't right" with me
 
I think the beauty of the period of time was that by playing together as much as we did on the same server we got to know each other at a deeper level. Most of the games today are bang bang, hit and run....I'm the king of the hill!!. We spent many months playing and collaborating. Obviously being an online world no one could tell if you were wearing boxers, brief, panties, or thongs......and honestly it shouldn't matter. What develops was trust, collaboration, a support network. Obviously most of us wouldn't share IRL information about ourselves, but we still got to know each other at a deeper level. You know who were your friends and who you could trust with 'your last diamond'.

It was a good time and I'm sorry there not a similar game/venue of the same caliber in this time period. (pretty sure Fortnite doesn't qualify). I honestly have to say I can't walk about a 100 feet in your shoes and have never had the experiences you have shared. But from my point of view if you are happy to tell me that you're gay, Bi, Trans.....my response is going to be 'Great...so what?'. I don't mean that to take away from your struggle; I mean that as 'so what, I see you as my equal'.

Unfortunately today in a world that sensationalism sells; the average Joes, Josies are outdone by the commercialism of the Kardasians (SP)/Jenner's. Stereotypes occur, people are persecuted, activism takes extremes... the sad part....do we really ever get to know each other as people. I'm going to go with a general 'fail'

we always knew you weren't right. I don't think your gender had any influence on that train of thought.

after all look at the folks you hung out with on the server.... we had a certain reputation of being oddballs :)

Honestly this is the best outlook to take. I can't stand to be boiled down to my gender identity and I assume most others don't care for it either. If I wanted to point fingers I'd say tokenism in media lead us to boil down people to what they were rather than who they were. Diversity doesn't count for shit if the only character trait is being gay/black/muslim/American Indian or whatever. The same goes for real life, personally I can't bring myself to get involved with LGBT groups because all they do is boil themselves down to the stereotypes of one facet about them. What I'm trying to get across at the end of the day is that ambivilance should be the goal whatever minority group you're a part of.

I look back fondly on my brief time with the Empire; silly group you were.

This is the part where we should get to know each other as individuals (bigger picture), not objectify/classify them. I mean hey...I know you personally start stuff and never finish your builds, but you're always game on to try and participate in things you believe in (appears LGBT no so much). Why try to make/put you in a position that won't work...we'd both just be disappointed in the outcome. Go on with you bad ass self @babybacon

leave no regrets.
 
Shit, today I came out to my family properly as trans so hey folks im officially Lexi now

Well I mean, officially my documents are still my old name but that shit costs money.

(Also been on hormones since August, I'm so happy Australia isn't shit about getting hormones)

The legal changes were a bitch but that might be my fault for living in so many different states. Hopefully Australia doesn't make it too hard for you :eek:
 
Yeah, I'm still working on getting the funds to legally change my name and gender, and have to wait until next year for my top surgery. I'm so excited for you, Lexi! It's amazing to hear that things, presumably, went well ♥
