I’m a Transgender Woman Because of Video Games - I'm just as surprised that CatParty hasn't posted this either.

When can i become the gamer grill i truly am?

at least this one has HRT

My english teacher would automatically give a bad grade to papers done on video games. It's cringy and ridiculous.

As others upthread have said, I'm sure it has nothing at all to the author using video games as a maladaptive coping mechanism for their own social and emotional problems. I mean, look at Bootleg Girl. Watching The Matrix turned her into the well-adjusted woman she is today.

which is why we’re seeing so many socially awkward nerds trooning out. They hate being themselves, so they pretend they’re somebody else.

...and this way they can force people to 'like' and even date them (or transphobia!). Perfect ruse if you don't mind destroying your body, all your existing relationships and any semblance of a career you may have had. Which brings us back to the socially awkward nerds again.

This person just wanted their name in print, and reassurance that their stupidity is okay.

They were typically portrayed as a bedraggled, desperate lot, and when even when left to their own devices in Far Habor they came across as depressive and paranoid.

So still relatable to a crazy trans fetishist.

I hate the name Riley.

So is this why they take REEEPRESENTATION in video games so seriously?
It makes sense why they get so angry about video game characters, if they legitimately just see video games as an outlet to project their mental illnesses instead of a fun escapist hobby.

While the very notion that gaming contributed to my feminine coming of age might seem preposterous, it is the honest-to-goodness truth.

Just because it’s the truth doesn’t mean that it’s not preposterous.

"Sometimes I would create a female character only to delete her because I felt ashamed that I wanted to play as a woman."

Normal people always enjoy fiction while feeling like criminals instead of actually enjoying themselves and trying out stuff that you can't do in real life just because that's kind of the point of a goddamned video game. By this logic this guy wouldn't ever have been able to play Tomb Raider, Metroid or even fucking Okami since the goddess of sun took the form of a female wolf, because then he would feel like a failure. You know, because that's really rational and not fucking insane or anything, that is to say, like having a mental illness.

I think this is their website -> https://biologicalriley.com/ and from that we find this youtube channel -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3ppffN0ermYylEDPciSTiQ . Their website contains articles about videogames, trannies, and lefty politics, so that fits. Some of the resources on the website lead to a wordpress blog -> https://thinkoutsidetheaux.files.wordpress.com however, this blog redirects to biologicalriley.com, might this have been an earlier website?

Here's a picture of them from OP's article

A close up on the image (warning large image, larger person);

Here's what is probably a picture of their face from their youtube channel

And here is what is probably an earlier picture of them from their website

So yeah, I'd say this is probably a match. Good job using your real name on everything dummy.

https://biologicalriley.com/2017/08/13/please-respect-my-gender-identity/

I shouldn’t have to say this, but here I go:

Respecting my identity as a transgender woman means respecting my humanity and empathizing with the pain I must endure. Gender Dysphoria can be excruciating, and activities as basic as glancing at a mirror to catch a glimpse of my reflection, hearing a recording of my voice, and being misgendered could potentially trigger a majorly depressive episode that lasts hours on end.

Admittedly, my pain resulting from dysphoria has diminished significantly as of late now that I’ve been on estrogen for over a year, and I’m at last experiencing some relief from my lifelong torment due to my body being more feminine now.

My dysphoria reappears only when some chucklefuck purposefully misgenders me and/or denies my trans identity because of a misguided aversions to “identity politics” and “political correctness” or whatever the fuck that means. These poor unfortunate souls believe my gender has to correspond with my sex assigned at birth, and to them, I can’t be a “real” woman because I have a schling-aling-ding-dong.

Therefore, I register as male when analyzed by a troglodyte’s internal gender identitron.

However, judging one’s gender by physiology is misleading: trans people (i.e. people like me) have unique brains that correspond closer to our identified sex rather than our physical sex. For example: my brain is similar to that of the average female and should be used as the primary factor when determining my gender identity because the mind is more important than the body. In other words, I’m a woman, and all of my “masculine” features (i.e. broad shoulders, small breasts, narrow hips, deep voice, beard, and penis) can be “feminine” features as well (Yes! Even my dick!).

While I don’t expect many of you to understand all that I’ve experienced in my short (yet eventful) life, I do expect to be treated with courtesy, empathy, and respect which means validating my gender identity and regarding me as a human being.

Seriously, it shouldn’t be this fucking hard.

BTW @Null the post editor is doing something really strange to spoiler tags. It's mixing them with left tags, and then duplicating them about three times for some reason

I'm just going to state the obvious here and point out that the author of that article is little more than a disgusting fetishist

The feminine penis part is definitely a big red flag. Probably jerked off to too much hentai

Emperor Julian · Oct 3, 2018

Nice to see the rebooted escapist is settling into it's desired niche.....which is already inhabited by Polygon and Kotaku.

Conversaly Gaming helped me come to terms with who I am, as a child the game Syndicate and dungeon keeper really stuck a cord when I revelled in the degradation of others for my power and later on playing after the total war franchise and Crusader kings helped me understand my inherant desire to conquer and dominate those around me.

I now identify as a brutal dictator and hope to transition into one in the near future.

Games can never be art until something which is incomprehendable to the layperson and doesnt require any skill to make is the norm.
