Everyone loves Lain.

They're unfiltered.

My first thought

There is at least one other dragon that you can talk to who doesn't have a bad ending. Just because one got a raw deal in the game doesn't mean the rest did.

My issue wasn't necessarily whether I was trans or not, but whether I was crossdressing or trans. The thing that really solidified it for me was whether or not I wanted to be my gender outside of other people.

Would I want to be a woman putting up dishes, doing my errands, sitting around playing video games. This isn't true for all trans people, especially gender fluid people, but it helped me solidify my feelings.

Everybody loves Lain.

I had my name first, and only really used my new pronouns with close friends at first to get a feel for it. The biggest thing for me was my partner at the time switching from calling me handsome to beautiful ❤️. That solidified it more than pronouns.
