I feel like it’s probably pretty common for trans folks who spend a lot of time online. The internet was where we got to explore ourselves.
Even more boring than I’d have you believe.

What does the G stand for tho? Edit: oh grandparent?
I understand what it means in context here, but what does GP stand for? Figure it’s not a typo of OP.
I’m trans and the name I chose is based off an old username of mine because I got more used to people calling me that.
Come to think of it a lot of my trans friends did something similar.
Was about to make a post of my own asking about this feature. Would be a really useful option to have, especially for viewing stuff by hexbear users for example, where I believe including pronouns is mandatory.
I understand why Harry Potter found a place in everyone’s hearts. But with the behavior of the author, the books are in hindsight a lot more mean spirited than I remembered. That hatred for me and my loved ones bled into the books quite a lot now that I can recognize it.
No that’s the Rubicon. Rubric is the guy who directed The Shining
Not necessarily. Nonbinary covers a broad range of gender identities that don’t all exclusively use they/them.
Oh wow I remember loving their work when I was on Twitter. The atmosphere with all of their pieces are so cool and unique. Shame all of their work seems basically impossible to look at without making a Twitter account 😕
Changing the url to sh.reddit.com lets you get around it. Been using that when I’ve needed to look up a reddit thread at work.
I do this too. Instead of minis, I tape a drawing onto a Starburst and whoever kills the monster gets to eat the Starburst. I’m gonna have to get something like a donut for the boss fight at the end of the adventure I’m running rn.
The term you’re looking for is cisgender. Trans = “on the other side of”, cis = “on this side of”
Absolutely, there’s a lot of stories that would have been better received as their own original IPs. Unfortunately, it’s a lot safer to make a sequel so you can count on sales from the pre-established fanbase. Another good example I always go to is the Thief video games, where I got my username. The reboot dramatically changed all the mechanics and ditched a lot of what made the first games so engaging, very little aside from a few proper nouns has any resemblance to the original. It could have been a decent stealth game if it sold itself on its own merits(it certainly wasn’t terrible) but as a Thief game, it justifiably got fans upset.
It could have been an acceptably decent movie if it wasn’t trying to be part of the GitS franchise. As a GitS fan I hated it, but I wonder if it could have been more fun to watch if I was unfamiliar with the series. I remember thinking the same with a lot of movies based on books I hadn’t read like Percy Jackson, the movie became a lot worse after reading the source material.
God Thi4f is an obscure pull but with my username I obviously feel the pain on that one.
Oh so Señor Chang in the D&D episode of Community.
what if the world was made of pudding
I’m not really sure what part of your comment was an opinion, but “people don’t start punk bands anymore” is simply not true. There’s plenty of new punk acts out there, the genre didn’t just come to an abrupt halt in 1990. Just off the top of my head is IDLES and The Chats, but you can find tons of recent bands if you look.
Of course once I post a comment about it it starts working lol. Not sure what happened. Edit: actually I realize I was trying to log in on my work wifi. Maybe VPN had something to do with it?
I actually go by a different name now that has a different reason to it, but that’s the logic a lot of other friends stuck with, a username or game character they connect with. One of my best friends is named Ikora because of the Destiny character for instance.
Gonna do my best to avoid doxxing myself, but the name I go by now I chose for a few reasons:
Ultimately everyone is gonna have their own reasons for the name they choose, but I’ve tried a couple names over the years to see which ones fit. Sometimes I’ve had ones that I felt a real connection to, but it felt all wrong to get called it. It’s one of those things that can be a journey while you transition.
Also speaking from personal experience, the trans folks I know are delighted to explain why they chose the name the did. It’s not impolite at all to ask, just so long as it’s not the very first thing you ask lol.
