Everyone hates on golf, but I suspect we could play golf - or at least a very similar sport - on less artifical terrain.

There's literally a club for playing on sand, you're telling me you can't make a golf course out of clover or dandelions or whatever? I call bullshit.

But I feel like I need to pass in front of my immediate family since I'm sure I wouldn't be accepted. I love them, but they wouldn't get it.

Have you talked to them about this? I hope that they would be more accepting than you fear. Most people are.

Even my deeply conservative religious family reacted better than I expected. I mean, it still wasn't good, but it was far better than I was fearing.

Should I just accept I'll never pass?

That's a question lots of Trans people struggle with. Shoot, there's even a few songs about it.

What I will say is that "passing" is really more for broader society anyways. Once you surround yourself with people who accept you and support you, those people will see you for who you are regardless of what your body looks like. Self-acceptance and self-expression are not only more realistic goals, but I'd say they're more fulfilling.

While I can't bring myself to feel this way about myself, when I look at the other trans women I know, I think they are absolutely beautiful. Even the parts that are more clockable. Hell, especially those parts. Being trans is beautiful. Our identity is something to be proud of.

And when you find the right community, that's how they will make you feel. They will make you feel seen and accepted and loved and celebrated in your entirety without the need to hide any part of who you are.

Because you are beautiful. Even if you don't know it yet.

The last name is probably similar to "cha" or maybe "chia"

I know "Xin" is pronounced like "chin"

Gotta look for something frequently requiring novel problem solving and adaption to filter for high probability of high general intelligence.

So, to riff off another commenter - league of legends 😅

Boy is it a toxic and frustrating game but I will give it credit where it's due, you have to make good tactical decisions in not a lot of time.

I'm sure overwatch et al. work as well.

If you zoom in you can see the feathering. I would sincerely doubt this was photoshopped.

Some of us do struggle to breathe around vapes though. Not as bad as cigarettes but it's still a problem

Hi 👋👋

I'm a fellow trans girl in a country that's rapidly becoming dangerously unsafe for me 🙃🇺🇲🙃

I'm not good at being a friend but if you dm me I will reply to you

And yet I would let either of them do unspeakable things to me

I'll take one of each.

...oh, is this not a store?

but to roll over and not enforce the constitution provides functionally no difference than if they had lost a constitutional crisis.

Oh, it makes a very big difference... to them. If they pick a fight with Trump and lose, they go to the gulag. If they appease him, they might not go to the gulag.

The mechanics are the medium through which players relinquish control of their roleplay. They're sort of what mediates roleplaying, I think, by providing a sort of arbitrary and neutral interface to both limit and move along characters.

Precisely. Which is why it feels different from improv. Rules and predictable-but-random outcomes add verisimilitude to a game.

And the closer something is to the game's core experience, the more likely it is that a rule (instead of a ruling by the gm) is needed. So if you're playing a game that revolves around intrigue and seduction, you will probably want some rules for that. They don't have to be overly complicated, but they will need to exist.
