Don't be surprised if I'm the weather woman in 10 years time :p

Journalism would be the pragmatic choice of the two, for sure.

The only issue with journalism is there'll be some inherent anxiety in much scenarios, what with interviews, speaking in front of a camera etc, but I expect those things to mostly go away during passing. As I think I've said, I aspire to bring LGBTQ+ issues into prominence.

From the OSRS. Off-topic, irrelevant, fishing for attention. All 3 would cover your original post quite succinctly.

You know what? Noone cares. Noone is arguing with me over that post except you. Who cares!?
I dont care.


whether we care or not, spamming is against the rules, and i would prefer not to have the thread shut down because of it.

Voice dysphoria. I have the unfortunate case of voice recording stuff making me sounds like a super villain. So if it's just that, it'd be really awkward. If I'm in front of a camera, people will be able to see I'm a woman.

practicing with a pole and pack may make sense then. the longest hike we did was 5 days. and i didnt use a pole, scrambling is harder with one, but for up and down it does help
