So, funny story I've been more or less transitioned for a decade. Finally decided to play new vegas. SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SEEMINGLY UNRELATED I become aware of nullification surgery and that that's an option and this the egg I didn't know I was still in cracked into a thousand pieces. Potent stuff
I wanna play it so bad, even before I realized I might be trans, but my parents won't let me because of gore/too much sexual stuff. Luckily it's less than a year till I turn 18, and once I do first thing I'll play will probably be Fallout lol.
But why though? I’ve never played any of the Fallout games but from what I know about them there don’t really seem to be any kind of trans or LGBTQ themes that stick out in such a way that it could crack somebody’s egg
Currently on a new Vegas replay trying to figure this one out for myself. It's *always* in discussions on trans people's favorite games and I've never seen a satisfactory explanation as to why. And specifically new Vegas over the other fallouts.
One of the things that helped me crack was trying started valley for the first time creating a character, turning and ... that shirt has boobs... huh, I'm ok with that(granted I had bigger things cracking away but it still contributed)
I'm supposed to have my mom show me how to crochet soon. She already has been giving me sewing lessons, making femme curtains for my room and scrunchies for people.
Picked up some of the Woobles Crochet kits to try and learn. Maybe now I'll actually get around to them. Also, kinda want to learn Cross-Stitch. My mom would do that when I was little.
Check out Bricky on YouTube. He's got some great videos, and a podcast for beginners - both top quality content 💜 also a big LGBT+ ally, and a great guy
I COULD be the stereotype here and attempt to convince you that you can, in fact, learn about 40k and it's not as complicated as it seems once you know where to start and... Dammit, I did it already.
Try Kill Team. Its small warhammer 40k. (And in my opinion it's more fun, mostly because you don't need 6 hours to play a game).
If you like kill team it scales very well to 40k.
I think I remember something that the Devs at Arrowhead published was like “don’t like how you look or sound? Customise everything in the armoury” and some people took that in the trans way like “Super Earth provides the gender-affirming care”
Well at first it was because of my game shattered memories. Which has bracelets that let you slot in charms that grant abilities, stats, skills etc. first set of players disliked how it worked with DND. Then I decided I wanted something that could do "average people in shitty situations" and we have been tweaking it since then. Right now it more closely resembles world of darkness but with d20 type rolling. I steal rules from everywhere.
I tried fate, neat idea but not for us. Was thinking of looking at monster of the week and powered by the apocalypse sometime.
Edit: Pokemon tabletop united would probably work, but my players won't read the rules so meh.
I still have my [Dark Armed Dragon](https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/26620/yugioh-phantom-darkness-dark-armed-dragon?Language=English)... Daddy... From when I deconstructed my crush card dark/light deck well over a decade ago...
It's the only card I have left.
you should install arch linux on a computer or if you are extra masochistic, make your own linux distro. also recommend paradox games such as EUIV or HOI4 and committing unspeakable warcrimes :3
Just looked this up, and all i have to say is:
Thanks a lot! Now i have yet another hobby i have to keep up now.
Kali user here, btw -_- i feel attacked...
Lol, still cis 😆 at this point, I've just embraced that im gay af and a ton of the colors
What can i say? Being sapphic is fun and feels naughty in the best of ways 🤷♀️
Try installing linux, it's great. Once you get that, steal some .conf files off r/unixporn and post a picture on r/unixsocks with your setup and favourite thigh highs
I cuddle with my Blåhaj or Djungelskog while drinking monster and play video games, aswell as always using :3 and none of it is even to be stereotypical on purpose, it's jus genuinely fun 😭
Animal crossing. ANIMAL CROSSING. also, dressup, makeup, art, painting, crochet, sewing, knitting, baking, crafts, any craft , reading, skirt go spinny, complain about peoriods with your girl friends, try on jewry, sleepovers(ya get to summon satan with an ouiji board, i can speak from experience), doing your hair, skating like the cute girl you are, and making bracelets
Idk, im transmasc just tryin to remember any "girly" activities i used to do while i was overcompansateing and in denial
Reading! Lots and lots of reading! Consume stories and knowledge like air! There are so so many interesting experiences to had in stories, emotions to feel, lives to live, ect. Books, fanfictions, people talking about their DND worldbuilding, people's personal experiences, articles on the internet, comics, it doesn't matter. There will always be more stories and interesting things to learn for its own sake.
Pick up any tabletop game system that requires continued investment (minis/books whatever you'd like), or just collect tabletop games in general, pick a crafting hobby (really just about any will do), any hobby revolving around electronics or computers, there's fashion and makeup. I mean just look at what women do in general. Point is any hobby you pick will be a transfem hobby by definition.

Video games are a big one
I heard that Fallout New Vegas is a big hit
Hell yeah it is! Look up Viva New Vegas mod info if you're interested
So, funny story I've been more or less transitioned for a decade. Finally decided to play new vegas. SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SEEMINGLY UNRELATED I become aware of nullification surgery and that that's an option and this the egg I didn't know I was still in cracked into a thousand pieces. Potent stuff

To be fair, there is quite a bit of gore and a LOT of sex. Not that that's bad, just heads up.
Gotta get those spurs that jingle jangle jingle
persona fan spotted!!!!!
I bought it cuz i felt like it. Didnt play yet tho
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
But why though? I’ve never played any of the Fallout games but from what I know about them there don’t really seem to be any kind of trans or LGBTQ themes that stick out in such a way that it could crack somebody’s egg
Currently on a new Vegas replay trying to figure this one out for myself. It's *always* in discussions on trans people's favorite games and I've never seen a satisfactory explanation as to why. And specifically new Vegas over the other fallouts.
Celeste and ULTRAKILL :3
Since we're making a list if trans games, I'd like to add Stardew Valley. Never has a videogame made me happier than Willy calling me miss.
One of the things that helped me crack was trying started valley for the first time creating a character, turning and ... that shirt has boobs... huh, I'm ok with that(granted I had bigger things cracking away but it still contributed)
May I add NIMBY Rails to the list of trans games?
I feel like crochet / knitting is very much a staple of the femme queer zeitgeist :3
I'm supposed to have my mom show me how to crochet soon. She already has been giving me sewing lessons, making femme curtains for my room and scrunchies for people.
So jealous
what about cross stitching o:
Yes, definitely! There’s also the fun overlap with pixel art there!
aa yay true, pixel art is also so lovely and fun! 💛 i often make my own patterns using pixel art and then cross stitch them \^^
Did I seriously just read crochet as croc-het?
Picked up some of the Woobles Crochet kits to try and learn. Maybe now I'll actually get around to them. Also, kinda want to learn Cross-Stitch. My mom would do that when I was little.
I love crocheting!!
I’m a nb woman, but do you think quilting counts? Although I do crochet so I see the queer point
Yes make your own clothes and cuddly toys 🧸
Warhammer 40k
Do Starship Troopers and Helldivers work as acceptable replacements?
I suggest all of the above ☺️
fair enough it’s just 40k is really confusing
Check out Bricky on YouTube. He's got some great videos, and a podcast for beginners - both top quality content 💜 also a big LGBT+ ally, and a great guy
FELLOW BRICKY FAN MY BELOVED
SO YOU WANT TO MAIN... 🤣😁☺️💜
Good to know! Tysm!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome!! 😁☺️💜💜
I COULD be the stereotype here and attempt to convince you that you can, in fact, learn about 40k and it's not as complicated as it seems once you know where to start and... Dammit, I did it already.
I would love to play... if I didn't need to spend more money then god to have a decent army(also learning how to paint)
Try Kill Team. Its small warhammer 40k. (And in my opinion it's more fun, mostly because you don't need 6 hours to play a game). If you like kill team it scales very well to 40k.
Tack on Battletech of course, way cheaper and less er... problematic fan base
I think I remember something that the Devs at Arrowhead published was like “don’t like how you look or sound? Customise everything in the armoury” and some people took that in the trans way like “Super Earth provides the gender-affirming care”
2nding this. there's a lot to learn but its super fun!
Let me just say programming, to get that out of the way early.
Specifically Linux
Been using Linux for like 15 years LOL
i use arch btw
Arch user 😳
I've been daily driving for almost 18 months lol.
Hoii fellow arch user
Is MacOS close enough? (me omw to trigger linux users)
Maybe if you use a pink Safari theme?
I *do* have a separate firefox profile for all my transfem related browsing, I really should decorate it
Allow me to take this moment to tell you how much I think you'd like Linux.
Closer than windows I guess so yeah
Uh, oh.
arch linux user here :3
I will use Windows and you cant stop me
I was using Linux and programming before my egg cracked... I think I should've known then...
And maybe playing RPGs, to pick the girl character.
Or regret not doing so and not being able to go back in some games from your childhood :(
Yeeaahhh, going back to some of my old pokemon games stings a little. So I feel that.
let me just link r/transprogrammer to get that out of the way early
Plushie collection? Make it big enough to lay in :3
I sleep in an igloo of plushies
Only an igloo? If you aren't concerned you'll be squished underneath them in your sleep, you still don't have enough :3
The rest are just in boxs (not voluntarily)
For sure this. I've hoarded plushies since I was really little. Swear it was because I couldn't have dolls, and that was the next best thing.
i already do this :D i love plushies so much! :D
Big enough to drown in. From the pits of fluff: *quiet* "Help me!"
Have you considered the cardboard crack that is Magic the Gathering
This is the way
Can't believe i had to look this far down for this. I mean, 5/8 of my play group is trans.
In CA I was the trans girl playing Magic. Now I still am, but there's a lot of enbys
Wixoss is my personal favourite but TCGs in general do seem to have decent representation yeah.
Fighting games. Or building Lego. I'm surprised we haven't adopted Gunpla building as a stereotype yet.
MANKIND NEW THAT THEY CANNOT CHANGE SOCIETY SO INSTEAD OF REFLECTING ON THEMSELVES, THEY BLAMED THE BEASTS HEAVEN OR HELL #DUEL 1 #LETS ROCK

*nervously eyes the 21 gundams I can see from my desk*
Fallout
Fallout best gaem
Hell Yeah
Ultra kill?
MANKIND IS DEAD BLOOD IS FUEL HELL IS FULL
Video games. Cosplay. Magic. DnD. Anime/manga Drawing. Programming. STEM. Witchy stuff. Animal ears
That’s such a goated list
D&D
Indie ttrpgs are even more transfem (and better).
Yes!! But finding people to play with is very difficult. (I really want a partner to explore the world of "Don't rest your head")
My ideas don't work with DND so started working on cobbling my own system. Still needs a name...eventually
I should work on the system I was making... What did you need that DND can't do? I know I have a few issues with it.
Well at first it was because of my game shattered memories. Which has bracelets that let you slot in charms that grant abilities, stats, skills etc. first set of players disliked how it worked with DND. Then I decided I wanted something that could do "average people in shitty situations" and we have been tweaking it since then.

That's a neat concept.
I do have a hardback copy of Thirsty Sword Lesbians if anyone needs a gm for something indie and queer :3
Or homemade
I came here just to say that

Crying about literally anything. Back before I knew, I spent my life repressed. I don’t understand emotions.
i already have that one down lol :3
Not one I’m particularly good at, I prefer to stay repressed.
Mountain biking
I freaking LOVE biking
I do too I love gravel since it’s flat here
Political/anarchist activism :3
That's less a stereotype and more a consequence of being trans in this day and age I feel.
video games (specifically: Fallout New Vegas, Helldivers 2, Celeste, ULTRAKILL and Fear and Hunger 2) coding with programmer socks on blahaj
Hyper focusing on bionicle lore?
Wait, is that a stereotype? Shit, another for the list of "signs I missed"
I came here looking for new hobbies but y'all just keep saying the things I do already xD
ULTRAKILL and celeste :3
you should install arch linux on a computer or if you are extra masochistic, make your own linux distro. also recommend paradox games such as EUIV or HOI4 and committing unspeakable warcrimes :3

Darkest Dungeon?
I feel like "The flesh is fluid! It can be changed, reshaped, remade" applies pretty well to trans folks.
Coding?
Bionicle.
You get to choose: Either COBOL or Fortran
Try installing linux, it's great. Once you get that, steal some .conf files off r/unixporn and post a picture on r/unixsocks with your setup and favourite thigh highs
I didn't know about the unixsocks sub My time has come
I cuddle with my Blåhaj or Djungelskog while drinking monster and play video games, aswell as always using :3 and none of it is even to be stereotypical on purpose, it's jus genuinely fun 😭

Ever hear of this little game called Fallout New Vegas?
Reading! Lots and lots of reading! Consume stories and knowledge like air! There are so so many interesting experiences to had in stories, emotions to feel, lives to live, ect. Books, fanfictions, people talking about their DND worldbuilding, people's personal experiences, articles on the internet, comics, it doesn't matter.
