I was chucked into a local rugby union team that my dad used to play for, by that point I just resigned myself to continue playing it throughout my school life, after rotating through soccer, scouts, and a bit of rugby league
Always in the back of my head never wanted to play it, but I just got so used to it that I was in it just to keep active and have some fun non-competitively, never understood all the other guys passion for winning

OH I get to talk about my favourite lil indie game.
In Stars and Time is this trope, with the main character, Siffrin, getting stuck in a mysterious time loop right at the end of their quest with his friends, and now he's out to find out how to get out of said loops.
I love this game, hit me hard, I play it whenever I feel a little too emotionally stable

Now a swag poking from the passenger seat to finish it off

Thanks for the offer, so far I'm just rolling with the punches. Luckily I know another trans person at work so I'm getting a bit of guidance from them

Unfortunately not 😩 my job is a double edge sword where my job security is amazing, but far out the people I work with sometimes makes me feel like I'm in enemy territory, since I work in a government-based construction job.
I'm hoping to change jobs in my company to somewhere safer
HOIYA
A transphobe I work with weirdly enough, said something that made be fear for my life and wellbeing even though I would've been "safe" as a cis person, turns out I'm not so cis

Not that this is anything constructive, but I'm in the exact same boat as well. 26 and want to transition but goddamn my construction workplace is a nightmare for women.
So far my only positive is I work for a State Government Authority, so I have massive job security, it's not as terrible as the private sector, there are internal support systems, and my union kicks ass. I reckon that might be a start for you maybe, if you want to stay in your trade but need to change employers, look for jobs in the public sector, like a mechanic for your State's Transport sector.

Moon is, but there's another one called Moon Channel who's much better, mainly does history and law video essay's and sometimes how they connect to gaming, as well as commentary on current events sometimes

For me, what started my cracks was when someone a couple months back at work commented that he would commit violence on trans-women if he saw them use the women's bathroom.
Instead of just feeling defensive, I felt I had to book it and run as if I was in immediate danger.
That ended up being a major catalyst for me to re-explore my identity, as I bottled and contained everything up for 7 years trying to live as a guy after some events. And now I'm finally trying to figure myself out fully, and I have a trans-phobe I constantly work with to thank for that...

So Shen could end up having a Celeste moment?

Vanilla Ice - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
A very satisfying ending to the deadliest enemy in Part 3, only just coming to the realisation that he has turned into a Vampire a minute prior, Polnareff was able to goad and trip Vanilla Ice into the sunlight, eviscerating him immediately.
HOIYA
That slipped under my radar 😬
HOIYA
Correct, he also did a pretty good series of videos about the Korean Feminist movement
HOIYA
Very true, that's tripped up a few people whenever I recommended Moony beforehand
HOIYA
That is true, though I like how he traces those niches to wider issues with the world and history

I only just watched it last night, but it hit me seriously personally, I have not cried to a movie for many years till I watched I Saw The TV Glow
It felt like a pilgrimage
