On an sweeter note, I want to share some more social updates as well about how our session is going. So, one of my co-players, Haiwei, has been asking us girls a lot of questions. They were obsessed with humans, mammals, and the things that our bodies can do. At first it was really irritating, they'd ask all kinds of intrusive questions about how bodies work for human women, sometimes men but mostly women. Some of them were very inappropriate questions, which I think is a product both of them being a rather isolated individual and also probably some kind of troll specific neurodivergence making it more difficult for them to read social cues and understand what's appropriate or too much. Either way, this was an intense, repeated curiosity and admiration. Nobody really understood why the obsession was so big, until the truth finally came out. It all clicked for us when she finally said outright that she just wanted to be more like us in the way that her body looks. At first we all thought that they were asking for a sample of Cora's HRT medication because they wanted to study the differences or something, or maybe to investigate the hormonal and chemical processes that induce lactation in humans as something just foreign, alien and novel in concept that they were fascinated by. Now, I don't really know how to break it to her that human medication for that isn't going to work for a troll in the same way. I think Cora will have a much better understanding of how to handle that situation with grace, but she's also not the most emotionally sensitive or inclined so maybe not. It's going to be tough for everyone to find a way to support her in transitioning medically like she wants without any doctors left in the universe. We'll find a way! I know we can. Surely, in an interdimensional apocalypse game that can create a pocket dimension specifically for the people who are playing it, create brand new objects out of combined captcha codes pulled from thin air like magic, and sling meteors across an entire universe like it's nothing, there has to be a way to make her dreams come true. There's no way that something this magical and impossible cannot produce such a result somehow. We've been planning a girls night for a while as soon as all of us can find a way to meet up together. Lots of fun discussions about what we're going to do when we get there. The invitation has of course been extended to Haiwei! It's the least we can do. I also gave her a captcha code for one of the dolls I used to play with when I was little girl because she keeps talking about how curious she is about babies and motherhood and I wanted to give her a little piece of that joy. She hasn't made it yet, but I hope that she likes it. I might see if we can get together and do a kind of hand me down party, donate a bunch of captcha codes that she can alchemize together and make some new outfits that feel affirming and more like herself. We can call it a dress up party! What's more girly than getting together and doing makeovers? I think between that and spa days, that's about as girly as it gets. In the meantime, does anyone here have recommendations about how to support a troll transitioning mtf? I'm not entirely sure about what feminine gender presentation looks like for trolls, or the kinds of things that they need specifically that I as a human would not understand. I just really want to be there for my friend in any way that I can, and the way that will support her the most in her specific situation. Thanks everybody! #sburb #coplayers #transition #mtf #transawakenings #imsohappyforher
