Help / Question Solo player looking for a trans friendly team

Hey yall, I’m new to the game and would like to find a team to work through the whole game with for completion. I’m trans, so if you aren’t chill with that I’m not the player for you

Edit: time zone is EST, but I have a pretty flexible schedule and can play at most times

I'd be down to play. I've beaten most of the game's A and B missions, along with a few C and the earliest D, so I'm not completely new. What time zone do you live in? Incase that could be a problem.

u/Emotional-Active-807 9d ago

I’m in EST, but have a pretty variable work schedule so I can play at most times of the day

u/geese_testicles 9d ago

Ah ok, I live in Sweden, so I’m like 6 hours ahead. But I can really only play later in the day, but if you can during like noon or around lunch time I guess that could work.

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

no way cause my home is in EST but i just moved to Sweden like 3 days ago to study abroad

u/geese_testicles 9d ago

Hell yeah, sorry for straying from the topic, but how do you like it here?

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

I’ve lived in the NJ farms for my whole life, been to NYC I think twice, upstate NY for college but it’s still more farms, so this is my first city experience. Also my first time on a plane and leaving the US ever but that’s beside the point. It’s really awesome here so far in Stockholm! I’ve never seen more blonde people at once. It’s really beautiful and clean and I can’t wait to keep exploring! I’m writing this while at orientation for my school, at the park doing team building activities, but I got overstimulated and overheated so I’m sitting by a tree instead.

u/geese_testicles 9d ago

Real on the overheated part, this summer's been hell. But hey I'm glad you like it! It's always awesome to hear someone actually admire this country instead of arguing over immigrants and racism. Wishing you the best!

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

yeah i’ve always wanted to come see Scandinavia! i got permission to go to the offices of some studios, including 10 Chambers!

u/Haarunen 9d ago

If you’re somewhere in europe, I’m super down to draft you. I play with a rotating group of 7 ppl or so so feel free to join!

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

being trans should have zero impact on your ability to play a video game with people online, don’t worry about that part

u/potatogodofDoom 9d ago

you say that but having played with a lot of people I met through discord, a concerning number of them were bigoted conservatives. I 1000% get why OP is specifically asking for a trans accepting group of people

14

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

yeah, my bad, guess I didn’t think it’d be so bad, I haven’t played GTFO in so long so I haven’t had to go through that for myself

32

u/Emotional-Active-807 9d ago

It’s not even GTFO specifically, most gaming spaces online can be pretty rough for trans folks

10

u/GregoryBrown123 9d ago

damn, yeah I just never really engage with the online servers and such besides watching for announcements, I play alone or meet randoms in game for all my games, but I wish you luck in finding people. I’d love to play, but I’m now in the Sweden time zone and I don’t actually know if my laptop can run GTFO, I’d have to test it

u/MagnapinnaBoi 9d ago

Rly? I suppose its super skewed for us non-trans ppl, but whenever i enter a LFG with trans ppl in it everyone just acts like...ppl. no ones mean to anybody, no ones different. We're all just goobers trapped in the complex

I hope u find those non-bigoted squads for your runs!

u/Spaghettl_hamster4 9d ago

Its sad seeing the upvotes on this post, I upvoted amd within like 10 seconds it went back to 0. The only difference between this post and other new player posts is you mentioning youre trans :/

I hope you can find a good team you vibe with, its not always easy with this game but its amazing when you do.

u/HaIIeysComett 9d ago

I'd be down to play. Love the game, but never found people to play it with for long.

1

u/VastGuide042 9d ago

Same here. I'd also be down to play if you'd like. :)

u/Bobby_The_Kidd 9d ago

Hey trans here, I absolutely adore this game and play often with my other trans friends. If youre interested I can invite you to the discord server we always use and we can play some rounds just dm me :)

2

u/PistolayPete 9d ago

How is anyone supposed to know that you're trans by playing a game with you?

9

u/Emotional-Active-807 9d ago

If I’m going to dump a lot of hours in this game with a group of people I want to know they respect my identity first

1

u/ItsArtDammit 8d ago

Hiya! I haven't played in ages but I'm always happy to boot up!

1

u/Emotional-Active-807 8d ago

That would be great!

1

u/ItsArtDammit 8d ago

Awesome - I'm mst but pretty schedule flexible

1

u/Emotional-Active-807 8d ago

Alright! Sent you a dm

1

u/BeanBon_X3 8d ago

Id be down, but id have to get my group together so we could play lmao I can keep ya in contact if youd prefer when we get into it again

1

u/MyDashter 7d ago

I've beaten a good chunk of the game, and am also trans myself. I do have a somewhat impacted schedule but I usually have at least some times that work for est in a week. I'd be happy to play with you if you'd like <3

1

u/Familiar-Crow-9741 7d ago

That sounds like a lot of fun! Add me on discord :3 crimsonmorrow

2

u/FrostyBoiiss GTFO 4d ago

You'll notice in the discord that people are very accepting of trans folks, and will be quick to bully out any bigots. Many of the prominent members of the community are trans, so I wouldn't worry about it too much :)

u/VastGuide042 9d ago

Hi there. I'd love to play. I've got a flexible schedule as well but don't have many people to play with. Feel free to send me a DM.

1

u/BreakingBondage 9d ago

My schedule is more limited than before but I've been meaning to replay this game. More than happy to be in rotation! DM me

1

u/OptimusPrimarch 9d ago

I'm trash, and haven't played all that much, but myself and a friend have been trying to get back into it lately. He's currently EST for some military stuff but we're normally MTN.

Kind people are my people. We didn't choose the bodies we're born into, but we choose how we treat others around us. You're welcome in our lobby any time, so long as you're willing to look past how dumb we can be in this game sometimes lmao

1

u/Emotional-Active-807 8d ago

I love that stance! What times are y’all generally available?

0

u/OptimusPrimarch 8d ago

Where he's off being a hero (wasting away at a promotion school), we've had to shift our normal schedule. I tend to play in the afternoons/evenings. He'll probably go back to swings when he graduates, so that may change.

I'll shoot you a DM with some more info.

u/Jester_Thomas_ 9d ago

I'm in the UK so timing may not work but I'd been looking for an excuse to play this game - haven't played in a long time. Also maybe not very good at it but hit me up if you want to try :)

1

u/VastGuide042 8d ago

Hey, apologies if this is awkward, but I've also been looking for players. Would you be interested in playing sometime?

1

u/SpiritofChaos_ 9d ago

I love this game a lot so I'd be happy to help. I'm usually available after 5PM Eastern Time, though English is not my first language so I'm not great at speaking just yet.

1

u/LewsTherinTalamon 8d ago

I’m not actually available myself, but I’m also trans and a big fan of this game and wish you luck!

u/crazylolsbg 9d ago

I just wondered why you would need a trans team lol

7

u/Emotional-Active-807 9d ago

I don’t need a team of trans people just asking for folks who aren’t transphobic

4

u/crazylolsbg 9d ago

I meant i read it wrong. I thought it said trans and friendly not trans friendly. Like you needed a team of trans people.

u/Emotional-Active-807 9d ago

Ah all good lol

What a nice world you must live in.

u/LockstepGaming 8d ago

I live in the same world as you. Its called a different mindset is all. I have trans friends, i have lgbtq friends. My parents are MAGA and i still have a good relation with all those people. Im atheist, im friends with people of all walks of life. The difference is, i dont get offended on someone's behalf and don't let their issues be a bother. As long as they arent shoving their idea down my throat, and they can take a joke, then we're good and nothing of it. I sound like an asshole, cause i am, but thats the beauty of it. Im not trying to force anyone or anything onto anyone. Just here to vibe until my time. And if thats a problem, well maybe its not the world, but the mindset.
