@zx3 @relee - I wonder how much of that is like my desire for the outside to match the inside.
I do not WANT to be a robot. I wouldn't MIND it if the end goal was that I could express who I was with what you see.
You could dump me into my Second Life avvie, and with all the restrictions and functional losses, I'd be happy - because I'd be what I am, instead of telling people that what they see is not me.
Trans people are in your schools. In your hospitals. In your offices and governments and taxi cabs. We exist in every culture, in every religion, in every nation on every continent. You may not want your kids to know about us, but they will. Because many of them ARE us. And also because we are really fucking cool.
@socketwench 0 I'm right there with you. I have things to do. The urge to create is there. Sometimes I'm driven to open a text window, or GIMP. And then when I do, that urge is all "Okay. Go do the thing!" and I have nothing. Its like the drive to do something, and the doing it, are seperate things. The drive pushes me to do something, and when I do it, the actual content just isn't there.
Thanks brain, I need a cursed thought such as...
@zx3 @socketwench - Hyper Generation Messiah Worm Arrakis was a wierd anime.

The full backup of the Video-Enabled 3DS is done. Holy cow that was a lot of work, but (1) everything is now backed up to it so I can stream pretty much anything off it and (2) all the save data is transferred, so it's just the way it was when I last used it (including all the finished Zelda games, and Super Princess PEach).
Rook all day, but it's done. Most of the hard work is over, though, so I'm thinking the NN3DSXL with the wonky Game Card port won't take nearly as long.
Trans danger thoughts
Lately, I volunteer time helping with evacuations from Afghanistan for people targeted by Taliban while also collecting evidence for a case to be brought to the ICC. In this process I help with trying to secure visas to the US (and sometimes other countries).
I can't shake the irony as I work each case that I'm helping these people flee to the same country that I'm preparing to potentially have to flee with my family as it gets too dangerous for us.
The hack of my video-out 3DS went very well, to the point that I'm considering hacking my main NN3DSXL. The Game Card slot is starting to get squirrely, and it might be best to just put everything on a single SD card and be done with it. If the game card slot finally goes out, it's the end for that 3DS.
