#Inclusive if

[nextinline-if]

Hi~ Trans man putting in his two cents. The amount of customization and inclusivity is limited to the amount of coding you can do. It is a lot of work indeed, and is something you have to think about depending on the length of the story. You could have just have man/woman/nonbinary and add xe/xem pronoun besides they/them. Then goes cis and trans option, and something I saw in other IFs and think is a good idea, is putting a separate option for genitals right before the first intimate scene, otherwise I don't see the need of mention it in other context. Regarding trans options, is up to you to leave just "MC is trans" in a vague way or being incredibly specific and customized regarding hormones, surgery and other transition options. This again, will increase the coding work tenfold.

And since you say it's okay to give you recs, allow me to spam you with IFs (and authors) who has given people wonderful trans content/representation. It's not a complete list, just the ones that come to mind:

@barbwritesstuff (who has the most lovely trans RO ever, love you Marco 💕)

@fiddles-ifs (great story, among a lot of great representation, not just trans)

@northern-passage (most, if not all, ROs are trans, and playthroughs with trans MC are really good too)

@rotten-games (his games are addicting, and has quite a unique customization page in Regrets of the Traitor)

@the-kingshound (Kal's content is such a source of gender euphoria, specially @fromtheashesweriseif 💖)

@kaiwrites-if (is doing so much work in allowing MC to explore gender and orientation in medieval times, you are doing amazing sweetie 🥰)

@sinnersandsaints-linwrites (so talented, such an icon, is starting another IF, @thenumbersgameif that is just as good)

@ingenio-academy-if (demo coming soon, and MC is genderlocked as agender! And all the ROs are trans! AAA-)

@fell-star-if (what better than playing as a trans eldritch abomination??? And the trans choices are so good???)

@disenchantedif (one of Dakota's amazing stories, has a trans RO, and trans choices are cool too)

@parkerlyn (amazing story, amazing ROs, one of them confirmed as a nonbinary man recently!!!)

@magiciansvoyage (L O V E the trans RO, Rem is impossible not to love, and also explores gender a lot)

@redsugarsociety (sassy trans RO and such a funny fake marriage story in general)

@gb-patch (blog of the developers of Our Life on Steam, a heartwarming, wholesome and very inclusive visual novel. Explores life, including gender and orientation throughout life, from childhood to adulthood)

Ah, such a long post. Sorry, I got excited (and sorry to all of you who will be notified because of this I love you ajdhjajdjask)

Wow wow wow - thank you so much @gloomcat-mess 💙 also, your two scents, perspective, thoughts, and recs are always welcome here!!

i have not had the pleasure of playing most of these so they’re on my list for this weekend and next. truly appreciate it!! also, thanks for sharing your ideas on ways i can make my game more trans inclusive. i am new with the coding but im confident i can incorporate at least some of what you’ve mentioned on top of what I’ve already done. and then as i improve my skills, I’ll work to improve customization options.

and of course, I’ll be open to you and everyone’s else’s feedback after the demo comes out. 💕

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

I Have Found A Solution!

So, obviously classic wizard robes aren’t wheelchair friendly. (Alright, admittedly this isn’t common knowledge and also this definitely isn’t a problem for most but listen, this is a problem for me and I’m pleased to present a solution for it nonetheless.)

The issue is in the sleeves and the length of the robes. The traditional trumpet style allows them to get snagged, dirty, and caught in the wheels.

This is distinctly not an issue with other mobility aids such as canes and crutches, these wizards are fine to carry on with their trumpet sleeves simply rolled up if needed.

Now, one solution might simply to shorten the sleeves and hem to be out of the way, but that looks rather silly so I won’t do that. Instead I propose the more elegant design of a hanging sleeve to maintain that flowy magical feel while allowing for better range of motion.

Honestly I just love the look of hanging sleeves in general and think more people should appreciate them, wheelchair user or not.

In conclusion…

Shoutout to all the people of Ohio who just passed abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights of all people into constitutional law by a fucking 12+ point margin despite the state legislature desperately trying to do everything they can to fuck up the vote. I'm so proud of y'all!!

Edit: Trans people fucking rule, sex work is cool and deserves respect, sex isn't a binary, gender critical theory is based on terrible disproven science and is just Phrenology for sex.

IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

The symbol for anarchy

ACAB and 1312

The three arrows pointing down in a circle

Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

kill them with kindness? wrong, eldritch blast

[nextinline-if]

I highly recommend @devilscreekballad for good trans rep!! It's a really well written western with supernatural elements and it's got plenty of customization options (you even get to customize your horse)

Thanks so much anon 😁 I’ve added it to my list and look forward to checking it out this weekend.

if genital selection becomes the next big thing in RPGs we need to push beyond a binary application of “penis” and “vulva” (even if there are additional options past that binary gate) and make a single slider. x and y axis type of thing like chusing the depth and width of your chin.

the funniest thing to me rn is seeing transphobic women going into bathrooms in transphobic states and then being shocked that trans men are in there and actually (gasp) look like men?!?! (shocking i know /s)

like you guys forced people to go to the bathrooms of their “biological sex” but now when they do it’s disconcerting that men look like men. (yes even if that man has a vagina.)

Transphobes are shocked to realize trans men aren’t all “uwu soft boiz” and HRT does what it’s supposed to. It’s so mind boggling to them that trans people don’t look like their bigoted characatures.

Anyways here are some men that will be forced to use the women’s restroom in states like florida, texas, kansas, etc.

Edit to add: PLEASE don’t tag this post as “transandrophobia” or any similar terms.

i know this is the Unhinged About Blorbos website but at the same time isn't it just a little bit embarrassing coming back after you had a particularly unhinged moment and now you're like. okay it's fine. I'm normal again. but the evidence of how not-normal you were feeling earlier is still there and potentially spreading

[ID: Tweets from Emily 'Soup Lesbian' Gwen (@theemilygwen) on twitter with the following text:

Well, just left a job interview crying because the hiring manager told me they liked my application but were disappointed that I didn't bother dressing appropriately. I tried to explain that I haven't been able to afford new clothes in years but I just couldn't handle it.

That comment and my reaction was one of the most mortifying moments of my life. I thought I put together a decent outfit for the job with what I had, and hearing her say that just destroyed me.

Anyway I'm still looking for work and struggling a lot. Even $5 would help pay for a meal. ko-fi.com/emilygwen
