hello hello hello~

Hi! I saw that there was an introductions tag, and therefore inferred that introductions were allowed. So I'm gonna make one.

I'm Sophia. I'm twenty years old, and I like video games. I mean, not to be vague; I've put like a thousand hours in Guild Wars (still, to this day, still playing), I've only just beaten Diablo II with a friend, I've restarted my Pokemon Emerald save on a Game Boy Micro a friend sent, and I always check out the Humble Bundles, indie developers, etc. I have a Steam account -- it's Chiaro.

I'm really new to Dreamwidth? But there's also something intoxicating about it. I feel like a member of a (somewhat) esoteric subculture; I feel like there's something a bit more tightly-knit about it all. It's really nice. I'm still navigating the community scenes, though; there's no easy way to see top communities in a handy directory beyond 'recommendation' pages several years old.

I'm also a trans girl; I've been taking estrogen for about 14 months and live my life presenting female, etc. etc. I don't think it defines my identity as something, well, separate from 'geek femininity' (whatever that is) but my opinions are somewhat informed from a more trans-focused feminism. I mean this as an aside for the future, haha.

Hello from another trans girl! Or a plural system thereof. >_>b So jealous of you for being able to go on hormones at that age.

Have you tried GW2 yet? I mostly play FFXIV.

Heyo. :)

I also like the DW 'feel'; somehow it is more cosy and community-focused than other places around the net.
