RuneScape Helped Me When I Had No Idea Changing Genders in Real Life Was Possible

RuneScape is the game that helped me cope to deal with gender dysphoria a little before HRT. I've been playing RuneScape for 20 years there is a video with my 20 year cape to prove it, I used to have a fansite until my account got hacked I gave up and got back in when the game more after it got updated from the old graphics. It's been the game I expressed myself female since the start the very first year I remember learning about being able to change genders in the game, if only I had known about that in real life then, I thought I was stuck! I would often get afraid of people I knew in real life seeing me in game as a girl and telling people at school, so I often changed back and forth until I gained enough confidence to not be afraid anymore. The fear was real no matter how many times I tried to suppress it! That was before I knew what transgender was and long before I started thinking about transitioning for my own happiness to do something about the gender dysphoria. Nobody should have to live in conditions where they have to suppress their own happiness because of bigoted laws and people, unfortunately trans people around the world face discrimination. Anti-Trans laws were literally passed in several U.S. state and countries with NO scientific debate!

Looking back now that I came out as trans in 2021, I almost can't believe how closed minded I was, but there wasn't a lot of encouragement for me to express myself and the information wasn't really available then so easily. RuneScape has been a fun game for me it's not the best but long term it's always here and keeps getting better I think. It's a shame when people get upset seeing an increase of trans people, well of course were not afraid to express ourselves now so that's all that is people not afraid like how I was afraid people would find out I was a girl in the game.

Kids deserve to be informed and not be left in the dark, give trans kids a hope they can be themselves. Having information available isn't changing kids into trans, trans kids are just not afraid to be themselves. Kids need to go through a long process before going on puberty blockers, it's not handed out like candy like the misinformation claims, kids talk with professionals about their mental health with parents permission. I wish I knew what was possible when I was younger and didn't have to suffer with serious depression for so long. I grew up how society wanted me to then I started living my own life in 2021 when I started medically transitioning with HRT. I've been documenting my transition on my YouTube channel, my older videos it's clear as day how depressed I was like oh my goodness I wish I started transitioning years ago. I've never been happier with my life.


Most of the RuneScape community is LGBT+ friendly, the game has a lot of rainbow items used by a lot of players! I mainly play the free to play, years ago I used to be able to afford members :)
