I think I always created a mix of the most attractive character to me and my ideal self. But I noticed since coming out that I’ve gamed less and less and feel less of an urge to dive into worlds in games probably because I don’t need much of an escape any more since starting HRT and planning to do bottom surgery next year.

I have been talking a lot about this in therapy recently. How all my previous hobbies were extremely dissociative. Video games being a major one, but really anything that let me forget I was an embodied human being.

Since cracking I’m really not feeling the urge to dissociate at all. I’m still waiting on hormones to start but I hope it continues honestly.

That is probably it, I also noticed that I don’t have this urge and need to play pen & paper RPGs where I could try myself out in a female role, now I just play female characters and have fun playing. I don’t quite know how to put it in words, I guess the best way to describe it that playing pen & paper RPGs seems optional now and not mandatory anymore to be able to survive.
Thankyou for sharing. It’s nice to learn about all our shared experiences.
