ffxiv ; that's it buddy you're going into the crystal

i understand the desire as someone that's trans to go into these reviews, and talk about the inconveniences at best and the trauma at worst that we go through and give this like, anywhere less than 5 stars. i get it. there just gets to be a point where it feels reductive to center your view of the the whole of being transgender around it, particularly as you are talking about it on a public website where people, including even younger trans folk, can see it. i know there's no magical words that can be said to erase the trauma, to make you love yourself. but maybe let's try to celebrate this together in a space where we can celebrate it, you know?
