Your post wasn't offensive.

It was also offensive.

You see, the rules are made up as we go. We abide by them when they are the most convenient.

When our opponents call us out, we say that truth is merely subjective and a human construct.

Nothing is true.

Everything is true.

Welcome to Post-modernism.

You need to use your imagination. For instance, you said your friend was fine with these questions right? So let's do a little thought experiment:

Quote:
Hey, my friend James who happens to be African-American, why do you love watermelon so much? Is it because of the flavor? The texture? Is watermelon something that all people like you like?
In that case James won't punch you in the face ... probably (depending on how good of a friend he is). Especially if you leave off that last question. But then try asking the same thing to a public forum:

Quote:
Hey African-American Project 1999 players: why do you love watermelon so much? Is it because of the flavor? The texture? Is watermelon something that all people like you like?
Hopefully that made you wince.

Now obviously transgender people have neither stereotypes about watermelon nor about raiding in EQ. But they do have stereotypes of being "the other", or being different, and of being defined by their gender identity.

Your questions reveal a ton about your own biases and how you see transgender people. For instance, you clearly see transgender people as being so different from you that their gender identity could (at least potentially) determine every aspect of how they play EQ. If that wasn't true, why would you ask the questions you did?

But if I asked you "do you play a cleric (or raid, or whatever) because you're a straight cis-gender male?" you'd probably say that's a stupid question.

I'm not offended at OP.

I'm offended by OPs offense at my nonoffendendness that they misread as offense.

Wonkie nailed it 1000%

My cleric(s) got respectively donated to the guilds I played with. You're all welcome.

OP is a clueless triggered moron virtue signalling artificial pussy.

Nothing has changed for me. I’ve always been a fan of dot classes (necros, warlocks) and mages/wizards/whatever. I like to watch things rot & suffer.. and blow up. Also, OP, it’s best to pm us if you have specific questions, doing so in public in this cesspool of a community is not a good idea.

Thanks and I see what you mean about the community being a cesspool; I'm just going to stop feeding the trolls at this point and let things play out.

How exactly am I supposed to find who to PM though?

Tbh, we’ve learned to talk around the bullshit since this basically happens when any trans topic gets brought up. I’m ok with a public forum for discourse.

America, Nexii, Katrik, Secrets, and myself are the out trans women I’m aware of if you wanted to pursue it that way though.

Katrik is the only real woman here, so just give up now while you're ahead.
