    Exploring identities through roleplay is a valuable experience. I discovered I was bisexual because I made a gay mad scientist, and it turned out that didn’t take much effort to stay in character.

    That said I made an enby war survivor for a game about pilots and as a cis guy I have no idea what I’m doing. Thankfully nobody has seen any problem, including a trans friend, but I constantly feel like I’m about to fumble it.

      Ayyyyyy, part of the reason I found out I’m trans is through realising I enjoyed playing female characters moreso than men, and had an easier time doing it.
