  • Yes. Don’t ask me why, I don’t have a fucking clue, but it is. If I had to guess, it’s because it’s a (quite good) game about rebuilding yourself from nothing. You start the game as an empty shell of a character who was just shot dead and lost all their memories, and the entire rest of the game is about creating yourself to be who you want to be, and about making change in the Wasteland and deciding on a new future of things to come. I can sort of understand why that might resonate for trans folks. I have no idea if this is an accurate assessment or not.

    But it’s a game that I love with an ongoing unholy fervor so I say, the more the merrier.

    For me at least, being grounded was the preferable alternative to having my ass beaten physically off my body with the nearest leather belt or wooden implement. I can serve my time and be free afterward, or I can make things worse for everyone involved, and still be grounded but also be physically harmed while I’m grounded.

    Was this good and right? Hell if I know, man. It feels like a fundamental disrespect of someone’s human rights, but also, I was ten, and it succeeded in teaching me to be less of an incorrigible little fucker.




  • Nah, if you do it right the wafers are thin enough that you won’t stick to things. You want them to be able to react to nearby EM fields, which means they need to be small and light so they can vibrate (? I don’t 100% recall the exact function they perform to give you this sense). Which in turn means the magnets are small and light enough that they aren’t likely to stick to objects, or wipe credit cards, or damage your phone.

    But probably don’t pick up powerful magnets with those fingers and probably don’t get an MRI on your hands.


  • I’ve wanted to do this from the very moment I learned it was possible, circa 2014.

    Unfortunately it’s kind of difficult to find a doctor who will do this sort of elective surgery for you. So my options are kind of just, do without, or do it myself. So far I’ve just done without. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t give the occasional side eye to the kitchen knife whenever I’ve had a bit to drink.
