I have no problem with anyone who is gender-******ed, but it feels like pretentiousness when "issues" are brought forward like transgender bathrooms. Bathrooms may be separated for some sort of safety reasons, but also due to the different functionality of our genitals. So, If you have a ***** then go to the men's room, and if not then don't? Or, if you feel like you look masculine then go to the men's room? Use some honest self-reflection, I dunno. Seems pretty simple to me... I don't think it's nearly as much of an issue as they want it to be.

lol have you ever even taken the time to understand the difference between gender and sex? They are two completely different things. They are not two words that mean the same thing. There are two sexes, and there are multiple genders. Biologically (sex) you are a male. Your gender is decided by you, NOT your sexual organs. Your gender can be female but your sex could be male.

Please, if you're going to be ignorant and close minded, at least understand the definition of the terms you are using (btw these terms were defined and created by the World Health Organization, so don't call them "tumblr" or "hipster").



It's how you feel inside. For example, you know you're hungry or tired because you feel something inside of you. I am biologically a male and I identify as a male, however most of my friends are girls, I hate sports and I like guys. Most of those behavioral and personality traits could probably be used to describe a girl, but obviously I'm not a girl. I was born a guy and don't plan on changing to a girl.

tldr: it's just how you feel inside.

So if I like to play with dolls am I a girl, is my gender female? That explanation of yours is just as plain as this useless arguement and its participiants.  

i support 'private, unknown, other' gender options.

^only thing i am worried about right now.
transgender bathroom, *********s or rapist can easily dress up and identify themselves as a female and start harming people in the girl bathroom, and if men are serious about hurting girls, i don't think girls can really protect themselves.

Did you even read my post? Where did I even say that? Your gender is whatever you feel inside, like I said.

exactly what i was seeing  

MIND MY FXKING PRONOUNS!!!!!  

About the mangsi and albie argument, So I should care and respect people because they believe they are a different gender to what they are biologically? lol this is some of the most ******ed stuff that's been posted in a while.  

No, you shouldn't respect people "because they believe they are a different gender to what they are biologically", you should respect people because there's something called human decency (and also hello welcome to 2016).

If someone believing they feel comfortable identifying as a different sex warrants you to not respect them as people, well then that's some of the most ******ed (and ignorant) stuff that's been posted in a while.

btw i am talking about respect for people and their character, not for their decisions

That's not what I mean, what I mean is that should I really give respect to someone because they are transgender and demand it? and the whole "It's 2016" thing means nothing.

I don't think Mangsi was demanding, if anything he was defending himself after Albie said being transgender is Tumblr/hipster, which anybody in that position would find offensive.  

The coolest gay people are the ones who don't allow their entire life to revolve around their sexuality in meme-esque "I'm a vegan" fashion. I felt like in the late '90s/early 2000s, there was this certain pretentiousness from the gay community where everyone felt like they had to announce they were gay, and be fabulous, and seek attention at every turn due to their pride in something they have no hand in.

Being transgender is just now becoming "cool" and otherwise accepted, probably due to the whole Caitlyn Jenner thing. I feel the same pretentiousness oozing from the transgender community. I'll be happy in a few years when everyone is tired of hearing about it and transgenders can just be transgenders and it won't be a big deal or worth making a big deal over.  

stfu SJW's. Your time is on the decline

yep. reminds me of 420 BLAZ IT YOLO xDDDDD culture. luckily all the folks i know aren't like that, they smoke but don't dedicate their whole lives to revolve around it.

I would be interested in actually seeing if this is something that people have brought up via feedback, I don't think anyone actually cares

Also consider that the playerbase is leaning towards the young side for the most part, I think throwing a huge list of gender options at them is just going to confuse them and put them in that phase where they change what they identify as every week because they don't really know anything about it

Outside of being a forum joke the idea is pointless (and it's a pointless forum joke too)

I will personally confirm that this has been feedbacked on many occasions.
