It's only recently in my life that I have really meaningfully thought about where I stand in terms of gender identity.

But once I did, I came to a rather significant revelation...

Seeing as it's Pride Month, I can think of no better time to officially come out as trans. :}

@Katyavixen This is tricky.

I agree that ultimately, breaking out of hateful attitudes has to come from within and nobody else can do it for you.

But like... other people can help you get over your own BS or set you on the path to doing so.

@WimberleySusan @cmclymer There's a very specific example of this issue:

In 2009, the leader of the British National Party, a (now defunct) far-right political party in Britain which advocated a number of racist and xenophobic policies...

@WimberleySusan @cmclymer The idea that we can counter intolerance by finding common ground with the intolerant does not match the reality. Quite the contrary, engaging with intolerant people enables them and increases their influence. For our society to remain tolerant, we must not tolerate intolerance.

@WimberleySusan @cmclymer Susan,

The issue many of us take with Jon Stewart's approach to Joe Rogan is that the rhetoric of "common ground" and "conversation" has historically been used to legitimise hateful positions and attitudes. Rogan using his platform to spread misinformation is dangerous.

@NatalyaGrey Another example of a study confirming what people have low-key known to be completely true for years.

Like, who’d have thought that people who tend to believe that customer service means bowing and scraping to their every whim reflects a huge sense of entitlement.

@TMB_ANW It is only fitting that I should have a royal standard.

@jasongiardino @justicearman Oh gosh I really like this idea.

Getting a little added mechanical bonus to save a friend in danger, to make another attack against a nemesis, or just something to show that when your back is to the wall, you can sometimes do something well and truly extraordinary.

@monkeyprincesun @justicearman I really like this houserule.

Character death should be a case of player agency first and foremost IMHO. And sometimes it makes sense: sometimes a character is willing to sacrifice themselves for someone else, or they just want to go down fighting rather than retreat.

@TsubakiNykohara Thank you ever so much, I greatly appreciate it!

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@NatalyaGrey Someone who intentionally supports a business on the basis of its hateful ideology because it makes them feel edgy and cool probably isn't doing it for the food tbh.

@RRollplaying I was in high school when I started playing DnD, my first ever character was a Human Cleric named Davik Nirn in a 4E game I was playing in. He wore chainmail and used a halberd.

I have absolutely no idea how I recall that much detail about him.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@Akikotigress Thank you! This is basically how I see it for meself. I imagine that it won’t always be easy but it will be ultimately worth it.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@SparkxFalcon Happy Pride Month pretty bird! :>

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@IsDaGany Hey thanks a bunch bru! I really appreciate your constant support and kind words.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@huttser_coyote Perhaps as Her Majesty? :3

But really: she/her/hers for pronouns would be just fine. And tbh I’m still working out names but I’m not opposed to Tarvash for the time being. Though I reserve the right to change me mind.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@CayennePupper Part of the queer experience is figuring out where we fit in, what does and does not apply to us, etc.

Some people are lucky enough to figure this out very quickly, for others, it takes time, and that's okay, the quest is the part that matters.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@LibahuntV My sincerest thanks friend! You too are awesome and strong and thanks for being such a great person to know.

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

@TerranDarkwater You’ve always been supportive of me bru, and I greatly appreciate it! It means so much to me. :}

[Tarvashbek 🇵🇸🇺🇿 @Tarvashbek]

For a long time, I didn't question the idea that I was anything other than a cis male.

But the more I think about the idea of being a woman, the happier I get about it. This is a quest I am only just beginning, but I can't wait to see where it goes.
