Surprise 4/3 - So I guess I noticed it when it was used in a way where female/girl is often used, like in girl gamer. When gender is used to other the recipient or note that they are not the "norm" (or what the user of the word thinks the norm should be).

3/3 - One time that stuck with me about my gender being brought up though, was in high school. What the teacher basically said was: "As expected, a girl got the best grade but, "insert my name" saved the guys' honor by getting the 2nd best grade."

2/3 - Like a case I often see where male is noted in English is "male nurse", but in French the distinction is in the form of the word for nurse, "un infirmier" and "une infirmière". So you don't hear as much gender distinction done by adding the words male/female, at least where I live.

1/3 - I'd say barely never, but I think the context of the main language I use outside the internet plays a big part in it. French is a gendered language, so you almost always get gendered, just not with the use of the words male/man/guy/boy.

This week has been a storm of bad things, but I'll weather it, especially since Halloween should help with morale. I hope your recovery from surgery is going well!

In one of the games I GMed, my players had Gertrude, a full-sized whale they could use as a boat and submarine! That's like a big steed, right?

Not sure if there'd be interest for it, but your post has me thinking about my experience enjoying playing and running TTRPGs as someone with aphantasia and wondering if that could have enough reach to work as a TTRPG topic to discuss.

Your unbridled and infectious enthusiasm and passion. Joining your community and the secret club has helped me tremendously in keeping my morale up despite my current situation!

In retrospect, I think one needs some dark bargain to do so. Because while I have multiple TTRPGs' rules living in my mind, I have only ever been able to successfully commit a total of 3 birthday dates to memory, and one of those is mine.

Even though my long covid recovery has been going at a snail's pace, it's been going forward. I'm able to do things I couldn't 2.5 years ago. I'm optimistic I can keep improving and I'm optimistic I can still live a fulfilling life even if I end up unable to get back to all I was before long covid.

I haven't, but I really hope you can find a fix. It's a great game with great voice acting, so I wish you get to experience it!

True, that's definitely a huge factor, and very likely a way more impactful one than what I said, in how Trudeau framed his messaging. Thanks for bringing it up.
