As a general rule, it's fine to say two genders. It's not 100% scientifically accurate, but it's more accurate than saying "gender is a spectrum" or whatever the hip thing is now.

Which comes across as bad faith when the people who emphatically saying that "there are only two genders" state their reasoning as "science".

What genders required to make offspring?

No gender is required to make offspring.

The cases of people who actually have an atypical gender are rare enough to be exceptions rather than rules.

So those people don't exist or... ?

Sounds like an epic edgy 4chan teen, good enough for him

Its not edgy saying there are two genders lmao.

The way conservatrolls wield such a statement, it's fast on its way there.

Could you repost it?

Actor Asia Kate Dillon explaining their perspective on their being non-binary.

I also later added the following:

https://www.genderspectrum.org/quick-links/understanding-gender/

Specifically scroll down to the section on "identity".

...

So I hear people saying "yeah gender identity can be more than two but not gender" and my link actually helps with that as well, because gender is not such a simple term anymore. You have to specify if you're referring to body, identity, expression, or some combination thereof.

And anyone trying to emphatically state "there are only two genders" is not someone I believe is arguing in good faith. They're rejecting knowledge with regards to the complexity of this idea we call "gender".

but almost all the time when people talk about transgenderism it's MtF or FtM.

Yeah, I think that's mostly because these are the most common outcomes.

As I said earlier, I know someone who could be described as FtN, if one were to create such an acronym.

Transgenderism is a person identifying with one of the 2 genders is it not?

It's specifically *not* identifying with the gender they were designed at birth based on their physical sex. It doesn't necessarily mean that they identify with the "opposite" gender.

Here's a link with more information:

https://www.genderspectrum.org/quick-links/understanding-gender/

Specifically scroll down to the section on "identity".

(although I do think NB doesn't really tell you anything and you should be more specific)

It's not an exact science and from my understanding it's hard to be specific. Non-binary is just pretty much "doesn't identify as masculine male, doesn't identify as feminine female". Asking someone "how that feels" is like me asking you "How do you know you feel male (or female)?".

And I think it's this inexactness that a lot of people have a hard time getting around. I'd like to think it's not just because they're jerks.

You're right.

That was an overly callous response directed at CE in a topic that didn't warrant it. It's a tragic situation and I wasn't helping.

A fat, power tripping teacher couldn't back up his opinion with facts so he kicks him out. Really shows how fragile their logic is and how schools are about indoctrination and not education.

You want a world where an idiot kid saying "Evolution isnt real" would require the teacher to dedicate 5 hours to evolutionary theory.

WHAT THE FLYING F***
YES.
ABSOLUTELY

How are you supposed to believe something if you don't understand how it works?

At the expense of the curriculum they're trying to teach at the time? Disrupting the entire rest of the class because this complainer feels that they're the most important?

Non-binary is the one that's easiest to bring up.

That sounds more like a (supposed) property of the system than one of its elements.

...Okay?

I mean, Dillon can explain it better than I can:

Non-binary is the one that's easiest to bring up.

Like I said earlier, actress Asia Kate Dillon identifies as non-binary.

Also someone I used to go out with currently identifies as non-binary.

I used to think Fairies were nigh useless, because the only thing they do is use a move called "Throw a Kiss" that increases the stats of an ally, which ultimately is a bit of a wasted slot because it's better to have multiple attackers instead of one slightly improved attacker.

But apparently the stat boosts that are given to the ally persist until the end of the encounter. Not the entire battle, but the end of each individual unit skirmish.

So if you have a Monster or Dragon in your unit, you can potentially have them Kissed past their auto-promotion stat threshold, which will promote them to their upgraded class far sooner than normal levelling would do.

Was pretty sick and kinda got me thinking about maybe going back to the old guide and giving it an overhaul.

I approve of this and support legalized sex work. The oldest profession will never go away, so it's in our best interest to make it as safe and regulated as possible.

But the steps need to be very careful and measured. Attempts in other countries haven't had the results people have hoped for. A lot of extenuating factors are involved in implementing this.

CyricZ

Better than I expected, but I feel that it cheats in a lot of ways.

Yes it is actually awesome.

It's not a retcon for someone to appear dead and not actually be dead.

But I will fully admit they fake you out a couple of times throughout the greater series.

He kinda came off as some sleazy dude in his "Wrestling's Not Wrestling" video.

Now I did actually enjoy that one. Is it because he replaced all the wrestlers with women pantomiming them?

I enjoyed the hell out of it as well, but mostly because I'm a wrestling nerd. The ladies were cute too, however.

Well my question is what made you think he was sleazy from watching it?

We need to do away with the electoral vote, not because of him, but because it's government control.

First step is removing those who have the most to gain from the electoral college. Republicans have won a popular vote on the general only once in the last thirty years.
