>well, good thing diy is a thing
People shouldn't have to rely on black market suppliers to receive their medical care.

>i think the community is irreversibly fractured
This is a very terminally online thing to say. Outside /tttt/ or Twitter, I don't think you'll find nearly so much division.

>were you perhaps unfamiliar with the cautionary tales of john50 and other reppers.

I only occasionally browsed trans spaces--I went through periods of thinking about it a lot and not thinking about it at all for awhile. Always had bad gender envy though. Spent most of my 4chan time on /m/, /a/, /tv/, and /lit/. Did eventually start browsing /tttt/ but got icked out after reading about having to dilate with SRS.


>you'll be way more self-conscious of your voice.

Possible, likely probable. However, I still see a distinction. Unlike the dysphoria I feel/felt from my body or even from just being T-dominant (I feel so much less irritable now, it's crazy), feeling the need to change my voice will be more about conforming out of society's expectations instead of some yet understood inner need.

>ok and? they exploited a growing frustration.
They exploited people's ignorance of us. Ignorance often leads to fear.


> some people do it bc of gender dysphoria and some do it to be sissy freaks. the first are safe around other women, and the latter are not.
You're allowing the far-right to hugely inflate this issue in your mind. Do not forget that we are a very small minority. The embarrassing among us are made to look like a much bigger issue than they actually are.

If you really wanna solve all the optic-nukes, support early access to HRT for trans kids. We know repping does to us. It's not good.

I'm old enough to remember when everyone on 4chan was David, and it wasn't a schizo thing.

Apparently it wasn't a big enough meme to get a "know your meme" page, so you'll just have to trust me that there were frequently reoccurring /b/ threads where everyone was named David or David McDavid and David Davidson and stuff like that

My opinion on this is too spicy for even 4chan to handle

NMS could stop spamming these threads if they didn't want to be associated with 4chan :)

So right now:

>i'm pursuing an assessment for issues i've wondered about for years, including possible autism
>i'm working with a crisis center and trying to plan a safe breakup
>i'm trying to accept that i don't need her permission or agreement to end the relationship
>i still need to take responsibility for my life, especially getting a job and becoming financially independent
>but i don't have to stay in a relationship i no longer want just because i've made mistakes or leaving will hurt her

>i've spent over a month discussing this on 4chan, and some replies have helped me think things through
>i'm going to stop posting this week and put more energy into actually moving forward
>i'm trying to choose a breakup date and plan what to tell my friends beforehand, so i don't end up isolated if things go badly
>i just missed a good opportunity to tell my friends what was going on in person, but luckily i've realized i can tell them over the phone too, when the time feels right
>i want to end this as safely and civilly as possible, get my life moving again, and finally have some peace, even though i expect the breakup to be messy

>i'm tired of explaining her behavior to myself, searching for excuses, and waiting for the next good day to make me doubt everything again
>i don't need to prove she's evil or that i'm blameless
>i don't need her to agree that the relationship should end
>i'm increasingly convinced i don't want to keep trying to repair it
>my next crisis center visit will focus on concrete steps toward a safe breakup
>i still feel guilty, ashamed and scared, and i don't know exactly what life afterward will look like
>but i don't want another year of this

Looking for honest outside perspectives before i let this thread die

A day of 4chan downtime is basically multiple normal days

@gronkh konvertiere die codebasis von 4chan in einen von dir entworfenen COBOL dialekt der auf diese maschine optimiert ist

aren't you glad 4chan is back? look at all the fun we are having

>Tournament-specific, as in, specific to that particular tournament.
Yea, you tried to pass them off as something that didn�t always �make it into� AD&D, when such concerns actually had nothing to do with the development of AD&D and would have never made it into AD&D because AD&D wasn�t written for tournaments. You�re full of shit bro.
Like when I asked you for an example of a rule that was less ambiguous in in AD&D and you cited AD&D�s high page count, as if having lots of pages makes it less ambiguous, as if you don�t know what bloat is. Or when you tried to give Gygax the credit for hiring Mentzer �as the first new TSR employee specifically to build its RPGA network to make tournaments viable�, when Mentzer was actually hired for an editing job and later approached by Carr for the fan club job and it had nothing to do with Gygax. This is obviously not your first time trying to trick people on 4chan.

You�ve made like 12 posts just to say that Gygax�s word after the fact should be enough, so there�s no question what your position is now, but this isn�t the position you wanted to be in. You were hoping that someone would buy your bullshit, even if it wasn�t necessarily the person you replied to, but now that ship has sailed and you�re doing damage control.

Do you use the OSR threads?
