[Ellie G. - 11:15am] hey r u going to game night tonight?
[Derek S. - 11:16am] absolutely! wouldn’t miss it for the world.
[Ellie G. - 11:16am] awesome!! I’m super excited
[Derek S. - 11:17am] me too!
---
[Derek S. - 4:14pm] so I’ve been trying to find the best way to say this and it’s been hours now so I give up. how did you know you were trans? like how does one come to that understanding?
[Ellie G. - 4:34pm] lol I told you it’s okay to ask questions so, ask away! These are worded perfectly fine ^^
As for how I knew I was trans: I went down a reddit rabbit hole, if you can believe that, and I came out the other side of it understanding that men generally don’t want to be women, and the fact that I dreamt of being a girl meant I already was one. Once I understood that it was like two seconds before I decided I was trans and a girl.
[Derek S. - 4:40pm] wow, that’s really cool Ellie. thank you so much for sharing! if you don’t mind my asking, what reddits did you visit?
[Ellie G. - 4:44pm] /r/MtF, /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns (7a’s, 10 n’s)
[Derek S. - 4:46pm] thank you so much Ellie!
[Ellie G. - 4:47pm] really it's my pleasure. I hope you find what you're looking for ;)
[Derek S. - 4:48pm] haha yeah, me too. :)
---
[Derek S. - 6:45pm] hey i just parked, where u at?
[Ellie G. - 6:46pm] we just parked too, walking to the house
[Derek S. - 6:46pm] sweet, I'll meet up with you.
---
[Derek S. - 9:53pm] hell you and Dawn are so fucking cool and brave. I could never come out like that! not that i will ever be in that position haha
[Ellie G. - 9:57pm] i mean you seem pretty interested in trans stuff, have you ever considered whether you'd be happier as a girl, or as something else: non-binary, agender, etc.?
[Derek S. - 10:45pm] fuck I'm having a really hard time answering that question.
[Ellie G. - 10:47pm] the middle of a D&D session probably isn't the best time to think about this stuff. You don't have to have all the answers right away! just something to think about :)
[Derek S. - 10:49pm] yeah, yeah okay. I’ll um, keep thinking about it.

[Derek S. - 1:05am] Shit. Shit shit shit. I think I might be a girl?
The campaign's gonna be all girls soon enough :PP
aww Derek! you're in good company with Ellie & Dawn & Maddie!
Loving the story so far!! The concept of plurality has always been fascinating to me, and reading stories like this helps me understand it more, I think.
Also, noticed something: seems like that 10:09 timestamp might be going backwards in time?
Thanks for that catch! And glad you're enjoying the story ^^
It's so true. Funny how it works.
Unrelated to my suspicions from the previous chapter, I suspect trevor might be having a similar conversation soon
Totally didn’t see that coming AT ALL. /f
