@coriander And still, instead of asking "Did you mostly play girls in games", pyschologists and GP's still ask "did you wear your mom's clothes and lipstick" as the most important diagnostic.

@coriander ah yes the very cis behavior of having all your game characters as girls yep been there :blobcatmeltcry:

@agatha @coriander omg, I would ALWAYS play as girls before my bi awakening, because I felt like it was the only way for me to socially acceptably play a character I find pretty

now i'm always playing as pretty boys :blobfoxmeltsob:​💗

@agatha @coriander totally not something I've done. Yep, of course not.

@coriander I've yet to have this experience, lost most of my saves anyway.... but omg the amount of characters I made.

It's funny that I had no idea what I was doing, what it meant, internalized shit really had me staying uncritical of those thoughts, even the "I'd be a girl if I could" thoughts didn't crack me lol

@lira: Well, you know how Nazis always insist that their insufferable neighbours are both immensely powerful enemies and tiny and insignificant enemies at the same time?

Terves, being kind of like Nazis, insist that it's both so extremely rare for anybody to want to have a non-AGAB gender that anybody who does experience it should keep quiet about it lest others laugh at them, and also so common that anybody who does experience it should keep quiet about it lest others be bored with them.
