This ‘Star Day’ is not just my 12th here on FA but also my 40th birthday.
I’ve taken quite a lot of time to think of who, what, and why I am since finishing High School. Growing up in a 99% white Caucasian town in the backwoods of Western Pennsylvania means diversity is minimal. The lacking in diversity meant that I, along with my sister, were both frequently sought to be removed from the public education system.
As I was first, noting we both share the same ocular disease despite being born 3 years and 4 days apart, one could say I was the ‘Test Subject’.
Before moving onward, I’d like to mention how my parents were accused of so many things that, outside of my father at times, were not true. They are too horrid to mention, outside of illegal drugs, but the small town mentality made my sister and I seem as if our parents’ actions were why Winry and I entered this world destined to lose our eyesight.
Needless to say, I was ever on a quest to ‘fit in’ in a world that, even to this day, I cannot. I was always picked last, struggled to keep up with my non-physically challenged classmates, and was reminded of how completely unattractive I was.
After graduating High school and starting college, I started to really see the gravity of my position in the world I was in. This situation was, and still is how I am more female than male by societal standards.
Through my 20s, I was reminded quite frequently of how non-masculine I was. If it were not for the body hair and gender specific parts, I doubted any male would think of me as an equal. Moreover is, as I grew older, I became friends with more-and-more females than males. Each passing year of life finding myself more in-line with women than men. This situation is great if you are looking for dates but, well, I was ‘the blind guy’ who was ‘unattractive’. So, despite trying to get into relationships, I had largely written my life off to spending my nights alone while snuggling plushies and wearing diapers for comfort.
Ironically, as you all know, this fate is still very much in the works. The only difference being I have a son and a Seeing Eye Dog.
My 30s were basically a decade of tragedy. However they were still better than my 20s because I had finally found people to talk to who respect me for me here on Fur Affinity. In nearly 12 years of being a part of this community, I’m still shocked on how I’ve never been trolled, put down, degraded, or any other awful thing that I feared would mirror my real life experiences. Especially given I am unfiltered on here.
If you’d like to read about my 30s, you can visit the following link wherein I show how My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has played a massive part of building friendships here, using my ‘disability’ to help others, and build self-esteem.

As for ‘Winry’, I am very happy to say that she has not experienced anything like I have over the course of my life. The schools had me as a baseline to work with so that she did not get written off as much as I ever did. Winry also made a great friend in 7th grade, Flynn, who started as her notetaker, became her friend, served as a defender, and is now married to her.
Both Winry and Flynn own a home, have risen in their careers, and have strategized for a time that Winry may go through anything like I did between 2011 and 2019. Winry also is frequently asked to participate as a representative for her organization while assisting in the National Federation Of The Blind (NFB) in Pennsylvania while being invited to participate in NFB activities in other states.
Other great things for Winry is that, unlike me, she does not take any anti-anxiety / anti-depression medication. I became an ‘all-in’ with these meds back in 2011 after going off-and-on starting in 2007. (Job troubles and surgical complications did not help me to ever titrate. If anything, I’m maxed out and still working hard to keep myself positively motivated)
However the greatest thing for Winry is how she has outlived my life with physical eyesight! We both had lost vision in our left eyes before the age of 5 but her right eye has held in there in spite of her cornea being so thick and traumatized that she endures ‘good and bad days’ wherein her sight gets really foggy and/or she experiences notable physical pain. Surprisingly, despite this, her eyesight, on good days, is where mine was in 2006!
So I take solace in believing that my trials and tribulations are what allowed my sister to be spared of all in which I have physically and mentally endured. I’ll never forget how the retina doctor was the one who told me my days of eyesight were forever over. I think he was waiting for me to lose it. However I did not. I simply thanked him for all his efforts and mentioned how deeply I hoped what they learned from me would allow my sister to have sight longer than I did. Well, she has and, despite having loads of jealousy at times, I am happy knowing she will never know what horrors I’ve come to go through while wide awake and on the edge of death on an operating table.
As I look back, I can’t help but wonder if things may have been different for me if I were a girl instead of a boy? Would I have been more accepted? Would I have had better self-esteem as my mannerisms, interests, and situation may have been treated more kindly given my submissive, feminine qualities that far outweigh my masculine ones?
To play on this 22 year pondering, I asked Plinkers to utilize the power of ‘Rule 63’ to make Yosh go from male to female.
I’ll admit, given her description, I do believe I’d be quite comfortable like this. It would, to me, feel more natural than trying to live up to dominant, masculine standards.
PLINKER’S DESCRIPTION:
In the picture she's standing on a grassy hill, the sky a nice deep blue with fluffy clouds behind her. She's wearing her glasses, looking down at her skirt with wide blue eyes (which are accented by small eyelashes). There's a small blush on her cheeks and her mouth is open a bit in shy shock, as the wind is blowing up her flowy purple skirt, exposing her cute pink diaper. She tries to hold her skirt down with her hands to little avail, her legs bunching close to the diaper, as if to hide it a bit as well in her surprised shock. Her shirt is ruffled and a nice soft pink, with baby rainfeather's cutie mark on the front. Her booties, much like yoshi's, are a purple that match her skirt, with little bows on the sides that match her pink shirt. The large bow on her head also matches the bow and shirt color. Her spines are a bit of a redder pink, pointed softly, and her skin is a bit of a paler pastel green. She's a bit softer, a bit lighter colored, but still obviously Yosh, albeit more girly.
As I have no desire for more medications, surgeries, etc., I think on settling on being what, I believe, is defined as a ‘Sissy’ and be proud of my non-masculine qualities is the way to go. After all, as I’ve experienced here, I am not made into a lesser person for my more maternal qualities by anyone.
Adorable hugs and cuddles for all! Thanks for being a part of ‘Star day 2020’.

Thanks, Kaffre. I appreciate you taking a peek at a more lady-like Yosh. I am going to play with this for a bit as to reflect on how I can't help but wonder 'if' anything in my life would've been better if I was born a girl instead of a guy. (No surgeries, transitions, etc. planned. I just want to explore Yosh being a sissy to see if it sparks anything to help me better accept myself regardless of what my physical form may be.)
Aww hehe, happy star day Yosh! :3 It's quite the summary for the last 40 years! Plenty of times for big things to happen, you've been through so much! And I'm glad you made it through it all. :3
I was really touched that you haven't been trolled on here! I remember some rude comment a while ago, but thankfully those seem pretty rare, it made me tear up a little bit, just happy that people see you and don't feel like picking on you here or giving you too rough a time. Of course, people are people and some are bound to just make folks feel bad or say the wrong thing, but I'm glad no one else has tried tormenting ya. Seems like the government and work scenarios can do that way more. ;P
Here's to happy times ahead, you make for a cute girl! And hey, with transgender being a thing, there are plenty of cutesy girls out there that have weenies under their diapers - though, yours might be a little harder to see than the average girl. ;3
Oh yeah! In my art for you today, I basically used this outfit for my own picture too. So you have one from the front, and mine from the back!

...And it is that art that I plan to use to write a story as I experiment more with embracing my feminine qualities. If real life won't accept my blindness, nor see me as an equal within my own gender, I may as well play both with Yosh.
My sister is also way more assertive than I am. She doesn't like doing presentations and reports, like I do. However she has a very commanding presence and takes nothing from nobody.
I am eager to explore, as I did in therapy today, what kind of 'hypothetical life' I'd have had if I were a girl instead of a guy.
So, *Snugs* I will be taking 'Sissy Yosh' to play with Nishi and his pals. See how things turn out. :)

Hehe aw, I hope ya enjoy the feminine sissier side as ya play around with it. Art and writing is great for experimenting and figuring yourself out. :3
Haha, a lot of times I think people see folks around them and act differently. I saw how rude and emotional my sister was, and never wanted to be like that. Haha, so maybe she saw how nervous and girly and shy her brother was, and didn't wanna deal with any of those problems! But who knows, sometimes it seems like people are nicer to girls (and some harder on girls!), but maybe things would be different! We can definitely play around with it as we continue learning about ourselves. :3

Submission is not a feminine quality. Friendship is about submitting to one another.
Dominating people is not the masculine thing to do. It is not what friendship is about.
Ironically, toxic masculinity makes manhood into a zero-sum game. It’s about trying to emasculate others by dominating them.
You have no need to identify as a girl. Girls are not supposed to be weak. Boys are not supposed to be rule over others.
In Matthew 20, Jesus says this “Ye know that the lords of the Gentiles have domination over them, and they that are great, exercise authority over them. / But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your servant. / And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant. / Even as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life for the ransom of many.”

I deeply appreciate the insights. There is much to learn that goes beyond what one may be exposed to over the course of their lives.
I am starting to feel how growing up in a small town environment with little diversity likely implanted some seeds that should not have been allowed to grow within me. It wasn't until I got into larger areas, like Denver, CO, where I spent time seeing different people of various backgrounds sharing who and what they are. (This was when I was 25)
Comments, like yours, are what make me feel better about putting myself out there so I can see things beyond what I saw throughout my younger years.

In FIM, there’s certainly no notion of girls being weak and submissive. Conversely, machismo does not receive much glorification — not even out of girls.
The Dragonlands and Yakyakistan are historically hotbeds for toxic masculinity. In the Dragonlands, the softness we associate with femininity was practically unknown. As for female yaks, we don’t know so much about what they used to be, though strength is clearly valued for both sexes — along with smashing.
Of the main characters, Spike seems the most submissive, and often the most vulnerable. Fluttershy seems to bounce back and forth on submissiveness. Even so, both of them have the courage to stand up for what’s right. And both of them can be strong leaders. From Season 6 forward, Spike does not feel emasculated. He feels like what a good boy is supposed to be.
Thorax is normally a submissive character. And it seems to be painted as a good thing for a ruler — as long as they are not pushed around.

Yosh I hope you had a good birthday, and she looks very pretty! You honestly mustn't feel down about yourself. Although I know that's an easy thing to say. But you're a good person and you've done good and that's what matters. I wish I could find a way to help more. Hmm. I'm not American but maybe I can google to see if there are any organizations which help with disabilities see if I can find anything.
*Hugs* I'm thinking, and praying, for you and I'm gonna continue to follow. I may only have met you this year but I look forward to following along and trying to help where I can with what I can.

*Snugs* Thank you. :)
I'm actually very well connected with various entities in which aid those with limitations. Most are quite overwhelmed right now but I am one they like to take on due to how I don't put what I get to waste.
*Blushes* I'm not so much 'down on myself' as taking a moment to reflect on my life thus far. I have always believed that a birthday should be a chance to look back, see where you are, and how you will move forward. This in mind, I thought on how different my sister and I are. My sister has had a solid job for over 12 years. She also, despite being born with the same eye condition, has not gone through even a quarter of what I have.
So, with this pic from Plinkers, I took the opportunity to think of how things 'may' have been if I was a girl instead of a guy. Nothing too serious beyond a ''What if...?' given my current RL age and personal experiences.
My sister was born 3 years and four days after me. It's actually her birthday as I write this reply. I envy her a lot for how she has had a steady job and retained her eyesight far longer than I. Though I also try to think that me being 'first' made it so my sister didn't have such a rough go. Kind of like I was the proverbial 'guinea pig' and what doctors, teachers, etc. learned from me allowed them to treat her better. :)

Oh! Glad to know! Yeah it is a cute pic and, honestly, I fully support anyone who wants to transition or be what they want or just imagine as well. If you aren't hurting other people, or yourself, I tend to think you should be allowed to be what makes you happy and comfortable.
I'm sure your presence leading the way helped her a lot, and it's by your example, and efforts, that you were able to help improve her life as well. *Hugs* :)
