Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)

No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/

@futurebird @InayaShujaat This one feels connected to yesterday's thread, particularly strains of "Your experience doesn't match my experience, so your experience must be wrong" or "I literally can't relate to someone who has or wants a different experience than I had." We end up just paying forward any and all trauma we suffered, instead of thinking about ways to make that cycle stop.

In news, Pendragon 6e dropped today, along with a campaign for it, but it seems to lack a GM book. Pity.

Also the Fungi of the Far Realms Kickstarter is off to the races as well. That was a nearly instant back for me.

And thanks to Between Two Cairns, I've put Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier on my radar.

@Tim_Eagon Right? It sounds awesome. Yochai and Brad were musing (and I'm months behind on my podcast listening) about not putting this in your regular setting, but I'd drop this right over the northern mountain range under which I'm tucking Dolmenwood. No problem for me!
