That's a shame, I always find it hard to listen so I appreciate them reading it out, followed by me then reading it and connecting the two.
It would make sense to have it as an option though. One thing that bothers me is DuoLingo has all the exercises, but if I want to practice writing for example instead of a word bank I can't always do that. I can sometimes, sure, but not always. Would be nice to maybe have some customisability/control there.
Well those games are quite different to Elden Ring. Perhaps try the pathfinder games, there are lots of CRPGs to try. I personally only experienced 1 bug in bg3 and it was patched out, but with games of that size you're going to get some, it's almost inevitable.
Will you be okay? No guarantee, nothing is. Everyone reacts differently. The only transphobia I've ever witnessed has come from people I knew before and came out to. You will have to be prepared to correct some people.
Courage? Take small steps. Meet with other people going through what you are. You'll become more and more comfortable.
You're not dying, if anything you're starting to live. You'll be okay.
Ah that sucks, I thought it was great they were doing courses for even some dead languages.
