Wandering Adventure Party

@ggggbbybby @dhfir I love hearing about how everyone approaches their gender.

@ggggbbybby @dhfir I think that's amazing and thank you for sharing.

@elexia @aphyr supposedly she herself told multiple different versions of the events, but whether she showed up early or halfway into it, she was there on the front lines, as witnessed by numerous people.

@dhfir I usually don't assume trans<masc or femme> connotate gender, only direction. Like transfem enbys are still transfem?transmasc enbys are still transmasc? Edited for clarity. It's different for everyone.

@tartley I don't mind.

@lda I usually assume transmasculine means 'towards masculinity' and not maleness, and transfemininity means 'towards femininity' and not femaleness. They can include those things, but are not necessarily those things.

So like, when I identified as she/her I was transfeminine. I now use they/she and I'm still transfeminine. Someone whose's nonbinary would still fall under the umbrella of their community, I assume.

Like everyone is different, not everyone will define it that way, but I wanted to call out it wasn't just trans women.

@miriamrobern that's amazing
