I think we have a misunderstanding here of the difference between pre-op MtF transsexuals and futanari.

One of them is creepy and the other one is not.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Surgery doesn't actually change your gender, just your genitalia.

I know that DNA is a tough/touchy subject for some people but race and gender exist.

No, that's just your ability to find offense where you want to. Don't confuse it with a justified unsettled feeling.


Because you would know, right? You would know what it's like to be constantly subjected to the bigotry and naivety of the people around you, most of which are completely unwilling to be educated. You would know what it's like to lose handfuls of friends, almost your entire family and be subjected to cis-male/female double-speak?

No, you wouldn't.


Well that's incredibly presumptuous of you, and also has nothing to do with what you originally accused me of. I'm waiting for you to just admit you misunderstood what I said. You'll be better off afterwards, since maybe you won't attack every statement as if it's bigoted or offensive just because you're looking for such a statement.

Gender is a social and mental construct.

One, I might also add, that doesn't have anything to do with DNA.
You might be thinking about sex, which is not the same thing as gender.

Or maybe you should? I'm not looking for anything. I just see ridiculous crap all of the time. It's like a sore thumb punching you in the face.

Quote:
Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word "gender" to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[2][3] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender.

I should admit that I misunderstood what you said? Well I guess we've proven what I said earlier in that you have difficulty reading, since that makes absolutely no sense in the context of this thread at all...

Yeah, it's not you being an idiot, it's just me having difficulty reading. Whatever.

The rebuttal is always the same because hateful derps want to pretend they're saints and feel all good about themselves behind their plastic frakkin' grins.

Creepy, not creepy...sexist, or what ever. Who cares? It's a choice option anyway. Doesn't matter if it is implemented. They are not forcing it on anyone.

Don't like it. Don't do it. Don't care. Don't complain.

I welcome any and all player choices in ANY game. Doesn't matter if I actually support the implemented content or not. It's an "option" and the more options we are given the better.

Yeah, this thread has pretty much proven that it is just you having difficulty reading and admitting that you misunderstood something. You've offered nothing for your side of this except for your misinterpreted version of what I said, even though it's sitting there plain as day with exactly what I said in it...

I totally see what is sitting there plain as day, unless you went back and edited your comment. I'm not even interested in checking again. You're just another example of the problem with the world.

Oh my, so dramatic. So edgy. Doesn't even know a thing about me except for one comment that you completely took out of context and claims that I'm another example of THE problem with the world. Not just a problem, THE problem.

I'm still waiting for you to just admit you misunderstood what I said. Why do you have so much difficulty with this? You'll be a better person for it.

No, I actually kind of find it funny that the person who was claiming earlier in the thread that I was the troll is now trying to make me mad like... well... a troll would...

Am I a troll? Are you a troll? Again, I am simply stating the obvious. If there were a profession for spotting bullcrap I'd have a doctorate in the field.

FTFY. Now you try saying it.
