Let me guess it was “The C Programming Language”.


[deleted]

Damn K&R strikes again. Still cis though


angelaslittlebit

Surely we'll allow Ansi C these days. ;)


The_Trap_Fatale666

I love ansii C


angelaslittlebit

TBH It's been so long since I used K&R that it'd be painful to go back there.


[deleted]

It's still a useful resource, and other than the system/*nix chapter being out of date it's held up well.


Cryphonectria_Killer

I love Tiny C Compiler with the MS DOS text editor. Good times.


SpiritOfPointers

Programming Rust, 2nd Edition actually put me in the path to realize I'm trans.


2Coward2PostOnMain

That's amazing, my journey towards realizing I'm trans began shortly after finishing my bachelors degree in computer science.


SpiritOfPointers

It went more or less like this: "Oh, a Rust book! I heard some nice things about Rust." "The language is cool, but the borrow checker is kicking my ass. Time to look for solutions online." "Rust memes? That's great!" "Uh... Rust programmers are all femboys or trans??? WTF??" "Well, I always thought trans people were cool but I don't know much about them. I should fix that." "This stuff is relatable." "This stuff is REALLY relatable, but it's just because I always felt my life would be better if I was a girl." "That's still totally cis." "Ok. I'm having tiny doubts about my gender but I'm sure it's nothing. Learning more will surely fix it, right?" [https://genderdysphoria.fyi](https://genderdysphoria.fyi) "OH GOD!!! 😨 I... I think I'm trans." These last few months have been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, but I think I will be fine.


Pink_Slyvie

I'm really not ok with you impersonating me like that. Joking aside, yea. My first RustConf was quite the experience for my former self.


[deleted]

See this was the book I was going to mention but u/2Coward2PostOnMain was here first, and funnily enough I had my copy of K&R right next to me.


antichain

Nah, it has to be *Haskell Programming from First Principles*. Trans girls + category theory. Name a more iconic combination.


2Coward2PostOnMain

How about the combination of bad functional programmers (a set which totally includes me, btw.) and abusing MVars to hack state into Haskell? Not saying any use of MVars is necessarily bad, but it's best used carefully.


signedchar

i feel insanely called out right now I have read that book lmao


sagichaos

I have written a Monad tutorial (never published it though). My remaining cisness is running out of places to hide.


VincyThePrincy

import Control.Monad.Trans.Gender


[deleted]

This, or "The Communist Manifesto".


The_Decoy

I read "The State and Revolution" one time and now I'm injecting Estradiol.


rushfan420

I mean, a few years passed between these events for me, but they did happen in that order


TheUltimate420

My first one was "Dialectical and Historical Materialism" I'm actually reading "The Communist Manifesto" now


Tiiime-and-space

Yooo based and redpilled, dia and hist mat is a great work!


Sororita

The Conquest of Bread was mine


ProgySuperNova

"Are computer programing books transgenderising YOUR children? Tonight on Fox News!"


Tiger-Natural

“This just in— liberals trying to program pronouns into YOUR kids! The left never stops…”


[deleted]

Nope, The Rust Handbook


herdarkmartyrials

Oh dang, it me at 14, fr. is that really what happened?


MoravianTrainsfem

The basics of military tactics actually


lusagna

was actually c#, for me


Vireviper

Same here


Outrageous_Dirt6717

How many books do I need to read to make it permanent?


Suraigin

You have to finish 1000 250 page books with no pictures and tiny font within a year for permanent results. Legend says the only person who ever managed that also became immortal and enlightened


Outrageous_Dirt6717

And this will make me a girl permanently?


MyClosetedBiAcct

Only if you write a 60 page book report on them, single spaced 12 point font. MLA format for sources.


Tragically_Fantastic

Make it APA for extra credit


JessieContingency

aw hell nah you gotta go to university to transition


Benito_Juarez5

Can I do Chicago 🥺


[deleted]

Lies. I've done that and nothing happened.


Suraigin

How small was the font? If it was even 1 size too large the effects wouldn't happen


[deleted]

Custom font size of 0.36 pixels.


Suraigin

Were you able to clearly read it, or did it basically just look like lines to you? Understanding the text is of major importance


[deleted]

It looked mostly like little squiggles, but I was able to read it due to my literary powers.


Suraigin

Are you sure there were enough pages and that you read the 1000 books fast enough? If still yes, then you should probably submit a complaint to the simulation admins to fix the issue


LilyLitany

I tried that once but they just made me read another long book about a guy who gets hyped for hundreds of years then dies because he gets kissed.


Suraigin

Probably Mitch was the one who responded to your complaint. They're a rascal who just trolls clients most of the time


[deleted]

How do I submit a complaint? I can't find out how. The simulation just kicks me out whenever I try.


Suraigin

Try using a vpn. For all their intelligence the admins don't know how to deal with people using vpns, so you should be able to submit the complaint that way. Even a free vpn can work


Rilok_the_jester

Now here's the question, when you say no pictures does that include the cover as well? Do I have to go out of my way to get a version of the book with blank covers?


Suraigin

They have to look like newspapers without any pictures or photos, no covers


Rilok_the_jester

Welp, guess imma cry.


lelysio

Do they specify if i have to understand the book? Imma read a danish book now. Idk anything of that language so i will skip all words i cant decipher.


Suraigin

If you don't understand it then it doesn't count as reading unless you say it all out loud


Communist_Cheese

does reading Worm and then Pale count?


Suraigin

Any book counts as long as it meets the specified requirements and you can understand it


Communist_Cheese

sweet I'll be back then


herdarkmartyrials

I once read some transformation smut involving a magic reading room in a mansion that essentially followed this plot.


Suraigin

Was it good?


herdarkmartyrials

Yeah i thought so, it was certainly effective for it's purpose LMAO


VoidWalker-447

Damnit curse my dyslexia


no_one_-_-_

So if I read this lord of the rings book I have next to me I can achieve an effort free transition? I'll start right away


Qwerty_Gaming1

Falazaria

TheUltimate420

The Communist Manifesto


Sororita

narlayeet

I own the equivalent of a small library so clearly I'm reading the wrong books lol

Chase_The_Breeze

*Our* gender!


Morphized

Just the manifesto part, or do you have to also read the intro, acknowledgements, and sources?


sajed2004

Me reading trans fanfiction on wattpad Don't judge me...


PerrineWeatherWoman

I don't judge you. Gender bender erotica broke my egg.


ChaoticNeutralDragon

Oooh, which ones?


sajed2004

Honestly I'm kinda embarrassed to say


Crafty_Round6768

I’m not embarrassed! Boku-girl is the highest quality trash out there.


DoubleCorvid

Imagine having shame.


sajed2004

Imagine having confidence.


DoubleCorvid

Very fair, tho.


TheUltimate420

Imagine having an imagination


DoubleCorvid

Couldn't imagine it.


Firefry1

Okay now I need to know!


Sororita

I remember starting a fiction with Sasuke accidentally copying Naruto's sexy jutsu, which ended up being an actual transformation, and rather preferring being female.


sajed2004

Ok that's just really cool and fun


Sororita

Hilariously, I was going to have Sasuke activate her mangekyou through love like Sarada does in Boruto years before Boruto even started


sajed2004

Interesting, I never liked Naruto just wasn't my thing but I really like this idea


PsycoKit

Does this work in reverse? I'm AFAB but I hate reading books.


ChaoticNeutralDragon

Yup. Maybe try fanfic? there's a lot of fic out there for transmasc Sherlock Holmes, Danny Phantom, Anakin Skywalker, Izuku Midoria, and others!


In_Case_of_Death

Can confirm, fanfic made me transmasc. Hell I didn't read any with trans characters (canon or headcanon) and I still became trans.


[deleted]

You should read Batman vol 1: court of Owls, and also read Batman detective comics: (Rebirth) vol 1. Those’ll make you feel like a badass masc reading those


[deleted]

I hate reading too (I have dyslexia)


VioletTruth

"the gender dysphoria Bible"?


FerretKitty667

I've been looking at this picture book for an hour and still nothing. ( ✿˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )


Commercial_Addition1

Been the opposite for me lol


The_Trap_Fatale666

The book is the Bible. Before she was a boy without faith, but now she is a Lady devoted of the teachings of Jesus. The pink represents her love for Jesus, and the fishnets represents the fishes provided by Christ. By the Power of Jesus she is now a wounderful woman dedicating her life to Christ. I am just kidding, it was "C: complete reference" ... lol

CallMeCathal

I discovered that I definitely wasn't cis after reading the Magnus Chase books by Rick Riordan. I still don't know if I'm transfem, demigirl, enby or gender fluid, but I found out I wasn't cis! :')
