Fourth panel has the same person now presenting stereotypically fem in a pink top and a skirt, staring in the mirror with a tear of joy on her face.

No recognition for our fellow enbies. Oh yeah and GNC people as well. May seem silly to criticize them for that until you realize how long the Pokemon company has held out on Nonbinary recognition.

If only breaking the egg were that easy, young me was so stubborn and in denial it took going through fuck ton of pain and crippling gender dysphoria to finally make me understand and stop being stupid.

If you wanted to crack your egg, you ought simply to have walked between 1280 and 10240 steps, depending on your egg group.

But seriously, same. I knew I was trans as a teen but I stuck it out pretending to be cis until my 30s "for an easy life".

I would prefer a society which leaves gender expression to the individual, without demanding people to fit arbitrary (and, therefore, changing) cultural norms.

I always picked the girl, my friends in elementary where pretty confused about that, that was also the time where I thought it was completely normal for cis guys to want to be women

As a kid I went with "douche" which was the style at the time

I played Baldur's Gate 1 as a halfling called Jizzme.

It's not 2024 proper, but I'm pretty sure that I named my rival, "removed" every single time.

Lemmy World's word filter doesn't like that one, lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

I didn't know there was a filter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Try and reformulate your sentences to circumvent the filter. Somehing like this can help, replaces the words with lookalike characters. Zalgo might also break it.
