The lack of Pride seasonal events is super disrespectful to the trans community

We have enough juicy drama to leech off of. No need to bump old stuff that is obvious troll bait.

the OP, yes thats troll bait.

Some of the responses though, hard to tell. Post history, post count, class level. Either it's a community effort to pitch in and agree with the ip for the sake of hilarity, or people actively believe them and what they say without hesitation or itony.

I trust everyone, regardless of that they talk about. You never know what is in another persons heart or how they feel about subjects. We all read and listen to music for many different reasons, i would never judge a person who says they listen to x music for this reason. Or them stating how they feel about a said song or what its missing.

I looked in between my legs and knew I was a male also the doctors put it on my birth certificate

I suggest using this ancient technique to figure out what gender you are if your still confused.

Maybe read a biology book. Might I suggest topics on the following matters including but not limited to :
The difference between sex and gender
Intersex people
Chromosomes and their variants
How religion and your personal options do not dictate the laws of nature

at this point can we please close this?

That's nice but.. Outside magic handwaving, can anyone even transition to the opposite gender in Eorzea? Is that a thing?

Even then, would that be transitioning or just polymorphing?

The difference between sex and gender is a new thing that isn't even completely agreed upon by the people who are claiming it. "Gender" has been devolved into a completely useless label that people give themselves for no reason other than to..... well, I have no idea because nobody is able to define the different genders without circular logic.

Also, you should read biology books and stop with the tired intersex argument because it's not the silver bullet that you think. Let's ignore the fact that we're upending a system that works for 99.982% of the world for some fringe mutations. Do you know that the AVERAGE person has fewer than 2 legs and 2 arms? Should we be making clothing differently since the average person has fewer?

Fantasia! Just like in real life.

But, ignoring the rarity of actual intersex people (i.e., not the "loose" definition that Fausto-Sterling had come up with because it sounded cooler), intersex people still have a single gamete that their bodies are more designed to create, most are definitely sterile, but the sexual organs are still designed towards creating a single gamete, not both, and can be easily fit into one of the 2 sexes based on that alone.

Is that a threat ? I won't give in.

.... aaaand I wanted to insert a nice gif here, but I failed miserably.

I'm sure if people knew where Gender Theory came from, as well as John Money's background, they'd have a very different opinion.

Shush. Some of us are enjoying the drama.

I find the social aspects and impications of the topic to be rather fascinating and telling. Sure, there's an odd entertainment aspect to it that equivalates "My strange addiction" from TLC, but this thread (as well as a few others) offers some really interesting takes and information among the community that I didn't know about. I think threads like this should die out when people become a bit more animalistic and uncivilized. There are labels being thrown around and accusations, which are typical of these discussions, but so far nothing of overt and blatant hostility or REAL bigotry has happened.

Is that a threat ? I won't give in.

I went under my car seat and found some spare popcorn scraps with a little mold. Cheese, caramel, or buttered. Take your pick, but the mold adds a bit of extra Zing.
