My arguing toss is that it’s moreso beneficial to be upfront and honest if you enter a voice call without a voice changer, if someone misgenders you, correct them and or tell them you don’t appreciate it
Being human beings people will most likely not act hostile and actually give the person the credence they deserve
But you don’t know what is going on behind the screen? Maybe said person is already doing alot of things? Maybe they are actively transitioning, already taking part of the mountain of talks and council you need to have, and this just helps them along the way?
Anyway, I am ducking out here for a few hours now to enjoy the weather despite the heat!
Fairs it’s night here, my point is that is what’s important about them being accepting of themselves especially in such a crucial situation of vulnerability
That they have a voice and shouldn’t need to feel the need to cloak and or hide behind a software which changes that, because during hormone therapy and or treatment there’s a strong sense of vulnerability
Your side is very much to comfort and accept regardless, I understand that. But my philosophy solely focuses on acceptance and facing truths. Your voice may not sound how you like it, but it’s not beneficial or healthy to rely on the internet as your avenue to change it, especially if you become reliant on it.
Yeah, this was a dead cause from the start. I’m disengaging too, albeit to enjoy the cosiness of the rain falling down outside my window. Enjoy the weather!
god i hope i’ll get some rain eventually too before I perish from outside death rays
You fail to factor in that we’re all different. Some people are comfortable doing that. Some people aren’t.
As Vixi has rightly said;
I, personally, want people to feel comfortable when talking to me over the internet. But your argument seems like you want to be comfortable by making someone else uncomfortable. And if your argument is that you “care about people”, then it’s an obvious contradiction.

i dont accept collect calls.
I accept, fearing for my life unless I do
Call me, beep me, if you want to reach me.
(Bee Possible).
Tell me you’re privileged without telling me you’re privileged.
This would indicate to me that you have never been ostracized/excluded/ridiculed from a community based on your personal life, and this is where the quote I did earlier really comes in. I get the feeling (correct me if I’m wrong) you don’t truly understand the mental burden it can be to have to hide every part of your private life, to consider that any casual mention you might do could lead to you losing friends or communities in a place that should be a hobby, a free space where you can relax.
Granted, things are generally much better these days, but some of us remember a time where voice changers or simply not talking on voice and never being honest about your OOC life was a must to have an, at the least, comfortable experience in games.
If people aren’t comfortable doing that, then that’s a whole new level of debate behind their own psychology. I would ask why they’re not comfortable, and if so what has lead them there, and why they’ve chosen to identify as something they’d not feel comfortable saying out. The obvious one is bullies and or harassment, but in a public environment especially somewhere like Warcraft and roleplay, my general belief is there will be a willing body of defence be that in discord and or forums.
For example here you’ve got people criticising me for presumed claims I made against the trans community.
My stipulation comes with endorsement, and the digital side of finding perfectionism
Hello,
We’ve Been Trying To Reach You About Your Car’s Extended Warranty.
Boundaries?
What is that?
Is that some kind of sauce?
You’re wrong I’ve been ostracised plenty of times, look at the forums. I’ve had people harassing me since I started rping when I was 14, stealing my name, impersonating me, and or forming groups to target me or my guilds/discord’s. I learnt pretty swiftly that to overcome it is to accept it and move on. Not to mention I’ve been accused of a great many things I’ve never done, but ad being ad and a toxic ring when it comes to hearsay, lap it up
Fear of ridicule and attacks on the self?
Nah, not a thing.
Thats why coming out as gay is such a small thing for people, especially in the sporting world.
Again I do, I’ve been doxxed on WOW. I’ve had plenty of people go behind my back and whisper nasty rumours which aren’t true to spur someone’s judgement on me, so yes I’ve speaking from experience moreso than your average forum pundit
But comfort and luxury has not kept me going,
I want a list of everyone’s name, age, sexuality, gender and why you identify as such, right now.
I demand it.
Being on timed likes is really annoying…
