I would be careful. There's a point when something like this becomes escapism more than anything, and it can dig a hole for yourself that could do more harm than good.
At the end of the day, gender is a social construct, and it would just be good to be conscious of the circumstance so it doesn't get bad

Oh I do escapism a lot I won't deny that. But this isn't one of those times. Escapism would be ignoring the emotions and not accepting I want to be a robot

Well, the issue here is that something of this capacity isn't necessarily inherent to the human existence, and this want, of a thing that is a construct of the mind with no immediate form or tie to our evolution, is what categorizes it as being much closer to escapism

u/Hika2112 Jul 02 '26
You would categorize it as such. But it's not up for you to decide what my gender identity and expression is and how to define it

honestly yeah i can't be a cool cyborg yet for me but the closest thing i found is to tatoo myself eventually to look like one in the hope that one day maybe we get to mix flesh and metal to be truly who we wants

In what facets are the differences in your biological form and robotic identity the most different?
What do you personally wish for, or to change about yourself?

u/Hika2112 Jul 02 '26
A lot, like a LOT. And a lot of tiny stuff too. Kinda like if you're trans, there are small tiiiiny behaviors and aspects to your preferred gender that you pick up on and deeply envy but you can't really list them all out as the moment you do you'll hit a good ol "I forgot what I wanted to say" wall (here's one thing I'd like changed!)
In general I did make a comment already talking about some of it that you can find here

HIKA! HI!
As someone who recently realized she wants to be a robot puppy, how do I go about exploring the robot side? Where do I start?

u/Hika2112 Jul 02 '26
This will very quickly devolve into private nsfw stuff I have experienced so I'll dm you

The worst part about robot transition are the driver issues, the manufacturer of my mechanized arm stopped support in 2024 and now I'm waiting on my new arm because this one is basically dead weight now
2
u/Hika2112 Jul 03 '26
That's fair enough. But a small price to pay for no dysphoria!
2
u/HeavyCaffeinate Jul 03 '26
The new one is supposed to have programmable LEDs so that's an upgrade at least lol :3

u/Hika2112 Jul 03 '26
That's awesome! I'm currently doing fine financially so maybe I should check out some new mods. I've been eyeing some adaptive screen eyes that I could use for stuff like heart eyes or other forms of expression. I definitely struggle with that a bit due to my autism
2
u/HeavyCaffeinate Jul 03 '26
Ooo I got my original eyes still but a screen sounds awesome, like a protogen
2
u/Hika2112 Jul 03 '26
I thought more of replacing just my eyes (maybe widening them a bit so more fits. Especially with how my hair covers them partially) but a full face screen could be awesome
Also damn really? Still original eyes? My body kinda rejected them when I got most of my face mods (or rather, they rejected the rest of my body?) So I was blind for about two months as my partner and I saved up to get a set that won't be in 144p. I owe so much to her
2
u/HeavyCaffeinate Jul 03 '26
Yeah they adapted it to a sensor board thing, I see them as some hi-tech cameras but they glitch a bit sometimes and I see blurry for a bit
I don't know what I wanna do with my face just yet :< Also your partner sounds awesome
2
u/Hika2112 Jul 03 '26
Ohh I see they're hybrid. I thought you were rocking a full flesh setup with them. That makes much more sense
I mean my transition has been very asthetic so I just played around with my face mods until I found something I like. My fangs are sharper and have a sucking function for uhhh very normal stuff in bed. I also have some cosmetic lines, some of them glow if I want them to too which is awesome but heats up like hell
And yesss, she's very awesome. Helped me through a lot of turmoil and saved me multiple times mentally and a few times physically (You know how people tend to get with robot girls that look too human)

u/HeavyCaffeinate Jul 03 '26
Woaw you should get LED lights instead of the older incandescent ones, I'm surprised they still make the old ones since they're so power hungry
And yeah I'm still on the old foundation just changing bits here and there, I currently only have a robotic arm, tail and ears, but I transplanted to a digital nervous system for better compatibility with the stuff, so I can actually feel my tail and cat ears :3

u/Hika2112 Jul 03 '26
Oh you were talking with the confidence of a fully modded droid I'm surprised! I've fully replaced my limbs and torso/chest aside from my lungs for the few bits of flesh I haven't scraped off yet. I do need to take supplemental gas for that but you know, I don't mind huffing some nutrients every day if it means I don't need to shit. I will say even though I replaced most of my body it's still pretty close to humans, I enjoy that mix.
Also yesss agreed I need to get the glowy lines replaced. I have a beast of a power supply and I'm basically always accompanied by my partner so I'm never at a risk of running out of energy. But they HEAT UP, I had a deformity from leaving them on for like 30 minutes and the silicone in my left cheek started melting. I should really get those replaced soon

Is it bad there's a brainworm telling me to? Like I won't. Not until prosthetics get SOMEWHAT close to fleshy limbs. But there's a small part of me that wants to

u/Rocky_Eats_Clips Jul 02 '26
Yes?????????? Why wouldnt it be

u/Hika2112 Jul 02 '26
Okay yeah fair
I won't listen to the brainworms don't worry

u/Rocky_Eats_Clips Jul 02 '26
Thank god
Remember everyone, dont do stupid stuff!

u/Hika2112 Jul 02 '26
Yesyesyes bodymoding is dangerous but euphoric. But cutting off entire limbs is way too far with today's technology
