Had my first date since the start of the year and it went really, really wonderfully.
Update: might have a girlfriend now? Two dates and we're dying for more. Things feel so comfortable!
It's been a rocky little bit for me with love! Spent most of the last year in sort of an unrelated depression fugue, spent the year before that in a very unhealthy long-distance relationship, spent the four years before that in a TERRIBLE relationship. This is my first thing not built on a sort of inherently broken foundation, and I'm so eager to see where it goes.
(Also, the novelty of dating someone cis! That hasn't happened since high school!)

Hi everyone.
I'm a freshly single pan trans woman trying her darnedest to make her mark on the world.
I'm a chemistry student by day, and work at an adult novelty store by night. Between those two things, I am a certified permaculture designer and help organize community gardens in my town.
I have recently come back to TTRPGs. I used to play in middle school but sorta fell out of it. I have come back to find Starfinder and am hoping to find a game soon!
Hope your day is filled with joy.

I've read some reviews, but has anyone read the actual book?

I got a new shirt yesterday. I shared it in a dice group on Facebook and it inevitably lead to the predictable question of "what are the straight colors?". The comment has since been deleted, but the fact that the non-oppressed and completely accepted majority asks that question is precisely why we don't need straight colors. (Yes, I know about the black & white and the blue & purple/pink). It's incredibly annoying.
I also tend to somehow piss people off when I just use the word cis to just say non-trans. It's getting tiresome to have to explain to some people over and over and over and over again why it's not an offensive word.

that's strange. I could have SWORN I saw some straight ally dice not long ago. I think it was another(cheaper!) set of sexuality dice.
While I have of heard some people attempt to turn cis into a slur of some kind, that is the currently accepted term, yes? I work in the human sexuality field, but I am getting older/set in my ways/forgetful.

Not ally colors, but just straight colors.
As for the word cis, no matter what word is used, it's going to be seen as a slur by a small group of people. They just don't want a label. Welcome to our world.

Many people are uncomfortable when a noun that they use to describe themselves gets an adjective (or prefix, or hyphenation) that describes ... themselves.
If you are the norm, and everyone else has to have a descriptor that explains how they differ from the norm, it can be unsettling to have your "normalness" become a subset of the general case.
When a tool for creating "otherness" is applied to you, it can smart.

That could play a role, but mostly the "cis is a slur" crowd is coming from having a label instead of being "normal".
It's as much as slur as the word straight is.
I have definitely had people use straight as a pejorative at me before, but they were either drunk/possibly high or I was on twitter.

They sell fast. See if your FLGS can stock them. Mine does and they sold faster than anyone expected.
They are also getting ready to release translucent ones.
I bought two sets of rainbow pride dice at the giant FLGS in Portland during my weekend trip to Oregon, but they aren't heartbeat dice. I just ordered a set of trans pride heartbeat dice.
