Fun facts about Link and LoZ games in general! Link was designed to be pretty ambiguous gender-wise in the first game so any player could identify with him. And Link just generally being a very appealing character for anyone of any gender has just kinda kept up throughout every game. And in some games do other fun stuff along those lines, like how Zelda will take on a more masculine appearance and go by the name Sheik. Or how in BOTW, to enter a female only village, all you gotta do is put on women's clothes that don't really function as a "disguise" at all. Can even change right in front of the guards and they'll let you in. I know it's more just a gameplay mechanic thing but a lot of people like to see it as a funny n cute "oh my mistake right this way" kinda scenario. In general lotta trans and lgbt folk, myself included, just like the lax way the series approaches gender and self presentation at times, even if not all of it is very intentional.

Getting correctly gendered is such a challenge. I'm FTM and I've taken to wearing a large he/him badge at work because so many customers were calling me a lady. Even then, in one day I got called 'doll' three times and 'sweetie' once (and 'she' about fifteen times). Then an elderly lady came in and made my day by calling me a 'lad'. 😊

I CAME OUT TO MY FAMILY A WEEK OR TWO AGO
my mom's getting me a binder!
My dad has refered to me as a boy!
My stepdad is cool with me being a boy now!


Edit: turns out I'm Non-binary!
I still go by he/they, and like being reffered to as a boy!

Edit 2:
Came out to both my grandmas, my aunt (mom's side) and my uncle (dad's side).
Grandma... Eh.
Aunt. She doesn't refer to my by anything gendered much, so nothing has really changed.
She's supportive though!

My other grandma?
Super supportive!
Uncle?
Super supportive!
He referred to me as "Little guy", so that was cool!

When I was still in denial I told my friend that I'll probably still get top surgery even though I was "cis" because tits were "just an inconvenience." It was so obvious looking back 😅

The most relatable trans thing I've heard is "Why would Timantha ever ask her fairly oddparents to turn back into Timmy? Wasn't that the dream of every boy?"

For my 8th birthday party my dad built a castle in our backyard, because girls like princess stuff, right?

I was PSYCHED. I put on an a black cape left from the previous Halloween, shoved the crown on my head, climbed to the top of the castle and yelled, "I AM THE GOBLIN KING!"

My parents love bringing this up. It's such a, "Wow, you've really been a boy the whole time, huh?" family memory.

As an enby I'm not entirely sure why the blahaj is a trans thing either! Wikipedia says the shark's color scheme (pink white and blue) has to do with it but I don't think that's the sole reason. It kinda just became a meme in all the trans internet space I'm in. Also, a fun fact: the blahaj was used in a couple ads last year to show support for Switzerland legalizing gay marriage!

“Get a therapist that’s not an arsehole” - excellent advice that applies no matter your identity.

I'm terrified to come out to my parents after around a year ago my step-mother was talking about a trans "friend" of hers. My step-mom went and continuously misgender her, and going on and on about how "he' had such a wonderful singing voice, I have no idea why 'he' would throw that all away just because he wants to be a woman!?". also after she told me "If you ever convince yourself you are a man, that would be fine. but you'll always be my baby girl" (I didn't know why that made me so scared and uncomfy until a few months later, after realizing I *am* trans)

the year before that, my step-sister was experimenting with her own gender identity and identified as non-binary for a little while. she eventually decided she wasn't trans, which is perfectly valid. But after she figured out her identity, my step-mom yelled at her about how she should be asking permission and consulting *her* about this.

Imma stay in the closet until I move out, that's for sure. just 4 1/2 short years

Ever since I came out as LGBTQIA+, your videos have helped me out tremendously! :)

[SoularSlothesk]

I really felt the "explaining why I am or am not trans" meme. No cis person continues to question their gender for years. They might think about it for a month and come to a better understanding of their gender and their relation to it, but they don't harp on it mentally for so long.

[yooperskeptic]

I'm a cis-F, and even I hug my phone when I see people's transition jouney. In this world with so many awful things, one wonderful development is the growing ability (in some places) for people to present and live honestly as their gender (or lack of a gender). I feel a spark of joy in my chest every time I see it.

I remember being 5 and saying I couldnt wait for puberty because I'd get facial hair and an Adam's apple and "boy parts" would magically appear in place of my "lady parts". Yeah puberty was a disappointment to say the least. 10 years later and I'm just now about to come out to my therapist so I can get on hrt when I'm old enough. My parents got me a binder and some of my teachers at school call me my correct name. Tomorrow I have therapy. Wish me luck because its gonna be terrifying. I've taken to writing her lists of things I wanna talk about so I might use that as a way to jump start the conversation about it but still. I live in Arkansas and we arent the kindest to trans people. My therapist is accepting of me being bi and wiccan but sometimes being trans is just "too far" or "too much" for some people. But hey anything to live as who I truly am

[mackenzieperkins]

Every guy I know has messy hair, you fit right in! Asked my boomer dad what he thought and he said you looked like a nice dude, but "probably a liberal" lmao across the board you're killing it, hair be damned

[sleepingpillswithcoffee]

r/egg irl brings me back to younger me in denial and lost and it’s kinda funny, I hope everyone a happy transition!

7:42 For me, admitting to myself that I'm trans was a moment of extreme relief, followed by a crushing wave of despair, fear and pain as I looked at myself in the mirror with honesty for the first time. That was the first time I truly let myself acknowledge my dysphoria, and it was horrible. I cried almost constantly for the next several days, I was a wreck.
But after that, I felt a lot better, and then I started to let myself express more femme and I started to feel even better, now I'm a bit over a year on HRT and I'm happier than I ever remember being in my life.

3:10 blåhaj is a trans thing bc the shark has the trans colors
also, it's super soft and fluffy and we all love blåhaj

[nvulpi]

As an explanation of the Link memes, everyone thinks Link is trans, but no one agrees how (ftm, mtf, or nb)

[manaash]

Omigosh my heart for that poor girl who has the terrible therapist. D: I hope she gets some support. And any of you all who feel the same: you're so valid and I love you

Shout out to my buddy boy Mike, who just yeetus the teetus a few days ago. So proud of that kid. Even though he hates himself for the pain he's in right now, he's gonna be so happy once he gets his bandages off and can feel more himself. I'm making him a titty cake whenever he's ready to reappear in the world once more. Hoping I, too, can one day get top surgery and rid myself of the burden of boobage, though I'm 26 and can't figure out how to find a job that pays well enough for me to move away from my queerphobic family and start living my life for me and not them 🙃
