What?

No.

Trans/Queer.

Duh.
I forgot a G, but nobody ever ends up being G anyway. ::)

Thinkin' o' makin' her asexual but not aromantic. would be interesting.

As long as it's a girl, it's safely nested in my comfort zone.

Any other demisexuals out there?

Ah, I was reading it and wondering who the fuck was xie :P

It's a really stupid pronoun. They is a much more reasonable and obvious third-person singular pronoun. We already use it in that way after all, and extending it to people without a gender makes more sense.
To some extent, I agree, but they also implies multiple and it gets confusing to me at the very least.

But personally, I just don't give a shit what pronoun people use with me. So meh.

On the surface, they're a girl, smurf. You haven't seen in Sam's pants, so you have NO IDEA.

Dude, one of my characters in another game is like that.

Also, if Smurf permits and we come up with a team name everyone will get a cool leather jacket.

Also, do what I did and just refer to them by their preferred gender.

They're gender neutral, Kj.

Not male.

I consider that trans, some might disagree.

I dunno.

They could talk exclusively in the third person.

Except Smurf has.

...

Let me rephrase that. Before Sam joined the army, they would have undergone a medical examination. Which meant that someone would have checked for their physical gender, since that stuff is pretty important and definitely something that the medical team should know. And since Smurf is running the army... he should know what's in Sam's pants. Just a thought.

I consider that trans, some might disagree.

Hmmm... Yeah, Sam's definitely transgender. Because they don't identify with the gentalia in between their legs. You don't have to consider yourself to be either gender to be transgender. You just have to think that your gender, whatever it is, is different from your biological sex.

THE MEDICAL TEAM HAS NO IDEA

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

IT'S LIKE A CLASS 3 WINDSTORM IN THERE OR SOMETHING

:P Eh, yeah, they're born female. Might as well. Don't want to get into hermaphrodite crap or anything, and already said they look like a girl, and I have enough trap characters as it is.

We need a character list again.

Also, mebbe unlikely to happen, since I'm either making her asexual and aromantic or just asexual.

Otherwise, the whole identifies as neither gender doesn't end up doing much in terms of shipping.

Whereas being asexual but in a relationship results in drama when the other party gets horny.

To put it bluntly.

You have played with Elf before, haven't you? That sort of stuff isn't going to stop him and his shipping.

Kyle is a respectful man. Because some of his friends were asexual. And so were his sisters friends. And he used Tumblr for a while.

The tropes If It's You, It's Okay and Single Target Sexuality say otherwise.

Basically, short of being a sadistic lecherous pedophile who kicks dogs for shits and giggles and has a guro fetish, someone can and will always be shipped. Trust me, I write fanfic, I know how this works.

Most people neglected firepower in favour of support mods. ohohohoohohoh
Don't think the Coupling counts as support, seeing as its purpose is to make you kill things faster, and the other two are more conventional (speed and regen). I'd probably say that the ASR-066, the Exalt and the ADAMANT are more offense oriented and use more tonnage for firepower. :P
