Was banned from [email protected] for calling out a Mod’s misuse of the Egg prime directive to criticize trans people for helping out trans women in denial of their trans-ness. They’re denying the validity of signs of being transgender, what the actual fuck, this shit is not okay. Then after banning me that dipshit locks the post so no one else can reply on it. How is this not power-tripping?

      When I played WoW, there were several guys in my guild who played female characters. They were all the most misogynistic gamer chuds I’ve ever met, who routinely objectified not only their own character but also the IRL cis women who played the game. On that note: almost every IRL cis woman I knew played male characters to avoid the attention from said gamer chuds.

      I do get that some people use this as an avenue of gender exploration and maybe some of the people I met were so deep in denial that they hid behind toxic masculinity, but I think most of it was actually just toxic masculinity.

                You’re literally asking for the perspective of cis people who play as the opposing gender in games. You’re not discussing the trans experience.

                I’ve played plenty of 3rd person games as male and female. If there’s not an option, I did it because it’s the game I want to play. If there’s an option, such as in an RPG, I sometimes do it because I role play.

                  I used to do it too to roleplay, and for some people it means nothing, but if you’re doing it all the time or regularly, it’s more likely that might be a sign… I did it all the time, I even drew pictures of myself as a girl, all the signs were there.

                    Going out of ones way to Do it every time and drawing yourself is an order of magnitude more significant.

                Well, I think that someone who fundamentally doesn’t understand why eggs are called eggs shouldn’t be giving pointers either. I think that people in general shouldn’t be in the business of telling others what to think and feel. But that’s just me.
