You'd be better off drinking lots of cow milk, at least it has animal estrogen that your body can absorb. Not that the amount would be significant enough to affect you though.
If you're trying to get estrogen by changing your diet, don't. Just get a perscription or diy the real stuff. You're going to give yourself a nutrient deficiency before growing tits that way.
Yes to swapping, no to stealing, in my case. At this point, I'd even settle for a braindance as seen in Cyberpunk 2077 or those dream devices as seen in the movie Paprika just to be able to feel, think and live in a female body. 🥺
Excluding games where your character is a woman by default (Lara Croft of course), I think I've only played as a woman by choice maybe three times? The most memorable female character I created is Fem Shep in Mass Effect and modelled her as Calhoun from Wreck-It Ralph. In other games where I chose to be a woman, the major reason is so that it would be different this time because I'm a guy and I played as a guy in nearly all games.
Excuse me - Me liking Metroid games doesn't mean I'm actually a woman lol, women can be badass too and I can enjoy playing as them. Siren is my fav class in Borderlands 2, not because "I should take estrogen", but because I enjoy the gameplay the class provides. Doesn't matter what their gender is - badass is badass.
Apparently females don't exist beyond something guys can do to themselves.
Can change yourself for mirrors as much as you like, but the misogynistic undertones and narcissism maketh the man, not the appearance of the corpse your brain inhibits. There's more to being female than adhering to stereotypes and estrogen.
Like, you actually measure life. I can't even imagine by what, but I assume it's been taught to you by your immediate society which you compare yourself against
Yup! I compare me, a wonderful transgender artist with a solid background in photography, against you, someone yelling at transgender people online, and I’m feeling pretty good about myself.
Keep it up! With you yelling at transgender people online, those same people will think to themselves, “dang, I got a lot going for me, the sun is shining and the hills are green, I’m doing great!”
I don't even acknowledge gender any more than any other social-born concept. That's something you get to pick for me if you want—I mean, you did already. My identity isn't mine. It only exists because you do; literally the point of one.
So, yeah, I find it weird that the one thing we have in common—having had no choice of the vessel we occupy—is something you really define your life and other people by.
That's the irony. Playing along, the facade is eating itself here lol. "I am ruled by the definitions of others and I will define others by them as well!"
And it's for that reason I'm a yelling feminist girl, apparently. That's your identity at work and it may be upsetting to you that I don't care or adhere to it, but that is again and entirely your problem. It only exists because you do, just like all social concepts and ideas.
There's so much to mull over here and none of it points to any positive outcome for gender despite insisting on itself that it does. It's actually quite harmful to those that have decided to value the idea of gender within a society. If all you saw was a snippet of addressing the expanse of the feminine ideology as "feminist" then, cool. It ironically/indirectly says a lot, just same as the post.

Can somebody please just hit my reset button already? Oh, wait, there is no mtf reincarnation after death. Fuck me.😭

What!? You saying my plan of being a good boi and reincarnating as a cutie is flawed? 😿
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 10 pts · 81d
Incredibly flawed I'm sorry to say. It looks like here in my notes it says you've actually always been a good girl, not boi. Odd.

we should legalize body swapping and body stealing.

What about games where you pick a class like Borderlands?

True

I also like to play as big dragons and dinosaurs, currently there is no drug for that; but CRISPR seems promising.

I like to play Fallout games as a woman because many outfits are pretty or badass.

A cliché clichés.
Which one is you and which one do you think I am? They're not labelled but should be, of course.

I have more satisfaction with my life than you do with yours. :)

When the statement says more than the words.

How satisfying! lol
