That's pretty interesting, thanks for answering. One of the reasons I was asking was because my first session had two trans players, me and my ectobro, so I was kinda wondering if you had a similar situation. I guess mine balancing itself out that way may have been abnormal, or just wierd-ectobiology-shit?

I don't know; I'd think that having two players with complicated gender would be an unusually elegant and sensitive way to deal with the gender ratio, honestly, by SBURB standards anyway.
I sort of cant wait for the ectobiology to happen, honestly. My family structure is already so weird I'm sort of dying to know how it all falls out.

I don't think "elegant and sensitive" would be the best way to describe it, it was basically just piling more angst and depression onto the massive pile of misery that Sburb would have otherwise been. Which I guess is just business as usual when it comes to Sburb. Anyway, that's enough of me whining.
Yeah, ectobiology is always interesting. I imagine that with an already complex family, like yours, that it will be even more awesome than it usually is.

Eh? Having another transperson around made things more difficult? That's surprising to me, even though I guess I should have expected it, this being Sburb. :/ My coplayers have been awesome about my issues--I was raised together with two of them, and known two more ever since I was little. I sort of lol because if neither of my "real" siblings turns out to be my ecto-sibling, then I'd be related to over half of my session's players. But even so, I'd expect someone else with non-traditional gender to be even more aware. I'd kind of like to hear about how your session went, in that sense, if there's anything you wouldn't mind sharing.

I don't really like talking about my first session, but I think I can share some stuff, and it's relevant to the thread, I guess? I only knew two of my coplayers very well before the game, and I wasn't open about it with anyone but those two until very late into the game. My ectobro wasn't open until very late, either; I found out during the ectobiology session, and asked him about it afterwards. He kinda freaked out, and then I had to explain everything to him, which is pretty hard to do when you're a Cryptic class. I finally opened up to everyone else after ascending, and he did so while we were preparing to fight the King. As I said, very late into the game; I think it would have been easier if we were open about it earlier, because it was very stressing to keep secrets. Ugh, I feel like I'm taking over this thread.
I'm glad you've got an accepting group; everything's easier when people accept and respect each other, and when you can actually talk to people about your problems instead of bottling them up. Teams filled with internal quarrels and hate always fall apart quickly. Speaking of quarrels, you frequently mention another member of your team being a jerk; if it is something you would like to talk about, how does he treat you, in regards to your identity? Like my previous questions, feel free to not respond to this if you don't want to, for whatever reason.

Well, you certainly shouldn't feel pressured to talk about stuff you'd rather not. I mean, the thread is primarily just for people to hang out, so. Likewise taking over the thread--I'm mostly just thrilled there're other people hanging out here! Not to worry. And that makes a lot more sense to me-- it hadn't occurred to me that one wouldn't be open with at least their first group. I can't imagine the stress that would add--e ven just getting through your UUs without having it come up would be awkward, I'd think. I hope that once you were out they were cool about it. As for doucheface, he almost always calls me "he," even when he can't see me or when I'm in dresses. I think he feels better about how blatantly I dislike him that way, though he may think I'm biologically male too, idk. Possibly he's just too freaking dumb to learn two whole new words, cause gog knows I've never heard "sie" or "hir" cross his lips. I've got a cute story about it though, if you wanna hear:When little bro was...gosh, maybe six? If even that. Doucheface was over and decided to get all up in my face about why I was in a skirt, why dont I cut my hair (it was already to my waist then), hasn't anyone ever taught me how to act like a man-- all that kind of complete bullshit that always gets trotted out, I'm sure you know it. Anyway, little bro comes toddling out into the yard-- and he seriously comes up to juuuuust barely the guy's knee, here, this tiny little frownyfaced baby--and kicks into full on lecture mode, all about how people are boys or girls or neither because of what's in their heart where you can't see it, and how trying to make someone act different than their heart is A BIG NO NO because it's WRONG TO BE MEAN. And then, I shit you not, he tried to put this guy in time out. It was ~*^amazing^*~. Good bro, best friendleader.
