On the Tumblr blog "How games saved my life", transgender Player shares Morgan McCormick their testimony on how games helped to accept him. I would block rate this entire passage, but it is simply not necessary. I also know that it is kind of a Cop-Out only copy and paste excerpts (or pretty much anything), who wrote them here; still, I would rather just let your words speak for themselves.

I'd felt young boys and girls happy as a girl as a girl, since I was three, and lived all around me is happy. Everyone seemed to belong to, in her skin and this is a big deal for given accept, believe me...

This changed when N64 perfect dark came, where I played James Bond Distaff counterpart, a redhead named Joanna. If I hated my body, I could my problems in her and boom headshot way. But still, it was only one exception, which was the rule. In the land of the x chromosomes, the y was still King. Enter eternal darkness: sanity's Requiem, and their blonde, warmth, the heroine of Alexandra Roivas packaging. they ever whining complaints, or life as it was a second class citizens? No, she committed to the power of the old gods, the worm turns in her shotgun and went on to the hell of Hoardes life under their home wholesale to mutilate. Quantum leap-style she took over the bodies of people in the course of history, to fulfil their mission, because that's how they do.

The coup de grace, which was real freedom, as a Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic appeared... SW: Kotor let in fact as badassly benevolent or foaming-at-the mouth Sithy as you liked, and thanks to the character creation system, a chick could be you, while you have done it. One that you design from head to toe. I real, Lady with girl parts and all life. I would go my double lightsaber blade swinging VWUM, WUM, WUM, and I would do it, as a girl. I could go between Singeing my nails with power Flash or the more manicure friendly force choke [sic]. And that's how everyone in the game treats me, like a strong woman. I saw how I felt...

Even if I could play the girl, video games began to tell stories about three-dimensional women, I could appreciate, or watch. The gal occupation of Drakengard and Metal Gear Solid many women who everyone thought was evil or crazy featured, but who were always convinced that what they did was right, no matter, what someone else did. Killer7Kaede took Ernst of suicide of laughs at: she uses her wrist, slits to open hidden passages. Games I believe in a world so crazy that a man could even be a girl, and that is the thing the most crazy, that could happen.

It is years later, and last week I celebrated 16 months to estrogen and, if you can forgive my ego a moment, I proved a hot B... last week my friend and I celebrated two years of love, and five years of friendship, curling next to each other on the couch and play on Shadow of Destiny, Katamari Damacy, dead space , and Saints Row 2.

So, I thank you, video games. Keep me company and me by this storm 22 year... And for the life for a whole lotta people significantly less lousy.
