Final Fantasy XI

Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!

During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.

Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.

He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.

However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”

After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!

I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

It's ridiculous when cishets get mad at you for suggesting that someone might be an trans-egg

How dare you push an innocent cishet to question their own gender and potentially find out that they're not cis. This is oppression. maybe-later-honey

I work in an LGBTQ culturally-specific nonprofit. My cishet supervisor has been posting transphobic facebook memes, and my cishet boss knows about it but covered it up.

I'm friends with one of the muckymucks. Wish me luck in talking to her about it.

Ah fuck, I found it, in Whipping Girl! Here we go:

I have also met some people in the transgender community who feel that identifying outside of the male/female gender binary is superior to, or more enlightened than, identifying within it. Such people often express gender anxiety (binary-phobia?) at people who identify as either female or male.

che-smile I'm done, lmao.

Yes, Julia, I am certain that A) being non-binary is something people do purely as a "moral high ground" kind of thing, B) that their expressions of negativity toward the gender binary are exactly the fucking same as cisgender people imposing their belief that men should be masculine and women should be feminine on others. I am certain.

Binary-phobia madeline-deadpan This is where that weirdass bit about "genderqueer is a privileged identity only accessible to college students with punk rock haircuts" type shit in Nevada comes from, isn't it?

Finally got around to reading the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto. It's a very good introductory text, and it's good the bear site recommends it so heavily, but i mostly had the feeling i was already aware of what was being discussed. The totality wraps up a communist, non-liberal view on intersectionality in a useful way, tho, and i found the statement that the trans experience isn't transhistorical because our conception of transness specifically exists in a post-colonial framework of gender quite eye-opening.

edit: i spoke too soon, the gender accelerationism intensifies gui-trans

mopey blogposting

Been trying to avoid trans spaces/content online (including here, though I’ve posted in the megathread a few times) for the last few weeks, trying to convince myself that I can just live as a feminine cis man, but now I realize I can’t do it. It’s not what I want for myself, and if anything my dysphoric feelings get worse from intentionally ignoring that.

I finally bought an article of girl clothes - a pair of gym shorts. Is that weird? Shorts? I want something fitted and the most fitted men’s shorts I’ve been able to try were still too baggy for my liking (though that’s probably for a reason that might become a problem with my new purchase… we’ll see when it arrives).

I’m still off the booze, will be a full 30 days tomorrow. I try to tell myself I started this for vague health reasons, but really it’s because I know orally administered HRT can be hard on your liver, and even though there are other ways, I want to at least have a chance of keeping it an option. This is probably the longest I’ve abstained for the past decade, so the damage might be irreversible, but it’s worth trying.

It's so nice to be free of the "what if I'm not actually trans" thoughts that used to plague this girl's noggin. Having the freedom to just to the shit I want to do and not do the shit I don't is actually the best thing ever. I've done so much gender stuff lately that I would have never done with those fears rotting me.

idk, internalized transphobia? romantic attraction brainworms about being perceived/not perceived as transHow do I deworm myself of the brainworms where I make myself uncomfortable every time I even notice myself attracted to someone?

If it's a woman I'm attracted to, I'm worried about being perceived either as a weirdo effeminate bi guy and misgendered or the transphobic chud trope of trans women all being predatory lesbians doing Bathroom Crime or whatever

If it's a guy, I'm worried about either being misgendered by a queer cis guy thinking I'm a femmy cis gay, or a straight guy expecting a woman reacting badly and either being harassed or potential violence

All of these scenarios start like automatically in my head just from seeing an attractive (binary cis) person on TV or a stranger in public and realizing I'm attracted to them

My brain sucks ass dude

Maybe I really should be exclusively t4t and just completely dissuade myself of the notion of paying cis people any attention at all romantically

Seeing a pretty lady on TV and thinking about how she might get creeped out by me or a handsome guy and thinking he might kick my ass can't be healthy

coming out stuffI'm planning to visit my family soon, and I've been thinking about what to do regarding my grandparents. They're old, rural Europeans and I doubt they even know what a trans person is. When I saw them this summer it that was the last time I boymoded, and that just made me feel bad, and I can't just wear a sports bra and a sweater to hide things now, like I could then. What I've decided to so far is to just present fem like I normally do, and if they have questions I'll answer honestly, but I won't have a big coming out moment or be particularly insistent that they gender me correctly (at least for now).

Maybe it's a bit cowardly, but I feel like it's a good compromise so far, not actively hiding who I am, but hopefully not overwhelming them either. They probably won't say anything either way, because they're so ingrained in this annoying cultural idea that asking people anything that could in any way feel uncomfortable for you or for them is better left unsaid in every situation.

sad shitI'm currently completing a "interview" with a chatbot, who is making me wait while it "types out responses" like a real person would.

fuck this garbage wasting my time, it's a shitkicking retail role for 18 year olds I'm not even going to hear back.

It wont even give me the chance to ask the bot "will I be discriminated against for being a transgender trade unionist?"

autism yappingRunning out of instant ramen leads me to reflect that they jacked the prices on all the instant stuff with low prep/cook requirements. I used to buy those Sidekicks-style pasta things, you're supposed to use them as part of like fettucine alfredo and stuff, but I would just eat them, autism. Microwaveable even. Used to be four for five bucks, now it's three for seven. Actual crime.

So this is probably why everything food related feels like a crushing depressing weight lately. Everything has to be cooked from fresh ingredients and then has three days in the fridge. It's exhausting I think, when I'm low on spoons I just wanna put something in the oven or microwave Idk. Putting soya sauce in the stir fry made me want those fucking instant teriyaki things again.

So screech, I hate everything, reee etc
