Pathfinder's great! Fun mechanics and there are a lot of queer and trans characters in the official setting. For example, Sarenrae, Desna, and Shelyn are all in a romantic relationship together!

For sure, we need to elect progressives from the bottom up and primary the establishment Dems where possible. I love the idea of an actually good third party, but I don't think it's realistic while we still have first past the post voting for the presidential election.

True. What worries me is that even if we do the right thing, things won't improve if we can't keep the energy up and make sure the democratic leadership actually do their jobs.

Yep, I genuinely can't see another way for this to end.

I love that story! It's so grounded and well written that it puts a pit in my stomach whenever the confrontations happen though lol

It's so nice being in a city that's accepting. I tend to present less visibly trans when I visit my hometown because I just don't feel safe there.

It's so good! It's also very refreshing to see the commentary on how much of a woman's life is assumed to exist for the sake and pleasure of men.

Growing up in a small town in the US, labels definitely felt heavier in terms of the baggage and stigma attached to them. You definitely stand out more than you would in a big city and that can feel like more heat than some people want.

I imagine it's pretty similar in Canada

Thank you for answering!

I think some people enjoy the aesthetics of queerness, but still don't actually view being queer as real or legitimate.
They see the LGBTIA community as not "normal" and dislike the idea that a character they like or wrote doesn't fit into that sense of normalcy.

I read somewhere that the lesbian community in Japan tends to prefer using [ビアン] instead of [レズ] to refer to themselves. Is that true or did I pick up some misinformation?

Thank you for your wonderful work! It always makes me happy when I see it. Your vocal support for trans folks is also deeply appreciated 💙
