Yeh I don;t consider Second life a game either, it's a community just as this place is. Though I do Role Play there so guess the Role Play is a game of sorts inside the community but I also hang out, do crazy stuff, chat with friends and well adopted sl family lol. Enjoy changing form a lot, though often around there in human form sometimes be everything from wolf, dragon, werewolf, sidhe, horse etc
They have or had a transgender community there somewhere but I only tried involving there a short time. Preferred just being a guy and enjoying myself. Most in the group seemed be MtF to and no offense to the ladies here but at that point it was just to uncomfortable to be a guy and end up seeing chat about them wanting breasts and such every time I logged in, while understand we both deal with some same issues it's hard for an understanding on other issues that are completely opposite. Sometimes guys need other guys to talk to.
I know I was rather dependent on SL for an escape for a while. Though lately have found myself actually escaping to rl from SL. strange that sounds. But sure I can add you, just have to remember to, keep forgetting lol.
Just well something to be careful of and it was an eye-opener to me to. Don't let escape keep you from taking care of the rl issue. I've seen that happen to a few transgender folk in sl. A woman in particular who spend the last 5 years in sl and stuck in her transition in rl. And in a way this sorta happened for a period for me to.
Easy to forget into an escape but always have to come back to reality.
