Local melee in 2023
You walk up to the TO,,
"Round 1 you play $wagdaddy69, over in the corner setup"
You walk over, and its the most gorgeous trans woman you've ever seen playing Donkey Kong.
If ur a transmedicalist you cannot be an ally to your fellow trans people, simple as that.
Everyone's situation is different. It's not a dysphoria competition. Do what makes YOU happy in YOUR transition.
Now seems like a perfect time to remind everyone that competing in Super Smash Bros. Melee (or any game) is a privilege, not a right.
That privilege can and *Will* be taken away if you actively jeopardize the safety and comfort of others in the community.
Just read the salt tweet damn I really have to reframe how I think about bbb. If he really provided that much comfort and space for Salt to become herself, then I gotta know that he ain't the same dude at all anymore that I'm judging him by. Sorry it took this to get that across
The final straw was broken today
A coworker angrily accused me of faking my autism, literally citing that "I don't act like her 14 year old cousin"
When I tried to explain to her that Autism is a spectrum, her response was to loudly misgender me in the middle of the store

This moment was captured when everyone started cheering my name. One of the happiest and most euphoric moments of my life.
The Gamble went so fantastic in every way :3
I'll be thanking everyone properly in a twitlonger soon <3
This renewed my passion for TOing and let me know I'm in the right place.
I love TOing. And I'm really freaking good at it!!
We went all in baby ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
Hello! My name is Violet, I'm one of the head tournament organizers for Pittsburgh Melee and my preferred pronouns are It/Its!
Do you have questions about It/Its pronouns?
This thread will be an informative space to learn! I will be sharing my own experience and answering Qs!
14 months since I started E and honestly I'm completely blown away with how I look. That's really me!!!
If you think you may not be Cis, please message me.
I want everyone to be able to feel this incredible ✨️

27 today.
I'm one of the many that had no plans or intentions of making it this far. The fact im 3 years off from 30 and still alive at all is almost incomprehensible to me.
I'm thriving. I'm more confident than I've ever been. I have support and direction. Thank you all 💜
HAPPY 2 YEARS HRT TO ME!!! 🏳️⚧️
I'm absolutely soaring; so proud of myself for coming out and becoming the real me so I can have the happiness I do now!!
There are still days where it's a big struggle with my face and features, but wow, overall, I'm just so damn happy now!!
Officially been playing melee for a year now :D
Thanks to everyone who has played with me, taught me, attended my tournaments, helped at tournaments, cheered me on, sat in discord with me and helped me find this place as my community <3
My first ever regional has two top-100 players 💜💜
Very proud of myself for organizing everything I can through the difficulties, because wow has this been a ROUGH one, even before all the ruleset discussion.
Cool announcements tonight 4 the Gamble stay tuned :3
Happy pride I'm gay and trans and poly I have an amazing partner and (at least) 3 beautiful girlfriends.
life is cool when you get this gay, I only hope to continue to break through my homosexual limits more in the future
I have turned in my two weeks notice, so i have income for the next two weeks.
I've been applying to plenty of jobs, if I don't hear back from something next week I may ask for some support until I find something
@IcefireDee
"Virtue points" dude has called multiple of my friends the F slur to their face and thinks I'm a man.
When we banned him from PGH, he had the gall to make inappropriate jokes back to us about it
Shut up lmao. Writing one twitlonger that an AI could have generated means nothing
Realizing I have a lot of new followers from TO stuff, I thank you, but I also warn you.
I'm mostly a gay poly doggirlthing. While my 2nd passion is Melee,, my first is being trans and supporting other GNC people around me
I also bark a good bit so yeag,.
(Pic kinda related)
Other people say they like my smile a lot. This is one that's very hard for me! I really don't like my smile because I haven't my whole life. Exposure therapy! Joy is contagious! I hope I can make everyone smile a little today :D..
For my new followers here for Melee TO stuff- you are welcome to stay but please know I tweet 98% about being really gay and trans, my 4+ girlfriends, and the fact that I'm a doggie.
I'm doing fine emotionally crazily enough, I'm proud of sticking up for myself. So many parts of me want to text her to try and educate her about autism and transness but that's not my burden, I can't change someone that ignorant.
Finally developing some backbone.
If u don't perceive me as a woman that's an L for you, its not on me.
Sure I'm tall and I don't have a cis woman's voice but like... my entire person is overwhelmingly feminine.
Would take many mental gymnastics to think I'm a dude lol.
Transphobes in the smash scene still make me extremely discouraged and upset. I know I'm powerless to do anything about it. The greater community at large will always side with push buttons good guy over the trans community.
It's why I will fight to keep PGH an LGBT beacon.
Hope was such a fantastic time. I have never been personally thanked by so many people for TOing. Days like this remind me how why I love doing what I do so much.
Thanks to everyone for coming out, and who helped raise almost $800 in The Lake's honor. 💙
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, VOTE NICK YINGLING too
Come on, it's lovely weather to VOTE NICK YINGLING INTO SUMMIT
Outside the votes are falling and friends are calling "VOTE NICK"
Come on, it's lovely weather to VOTE NICK YINGLING INTO SUMMIT
Bases of queer poly dating
1st base: seeing each other naked through DMs or priv
2nd base: Autistic rambling in person
3rd base: passionate kiss
4th base: orgy with the polycule(s)
Some people have never been to a local and it shows .
I promise that's what the FGC and smash are about.
The results don't matter and the points are made up. The friends and the laughs when you SD trying to go for something sick is what sticks with you.
I have wanted to do this for months but didn't want to cross a professional or personal boundary, I cannot explain how amazing it feels that she was basically like "I wondered when you would ask" LOL
