He makes that work surprisingly well.

[Scelly9]

Incredibly well. God damn.

One day the rest of the world will realize that clothes won't have a gender until we explicitly turn them into biotextile monstrosities. Then, and only then, will they have the functioning genitalia needed for differentiated sexes.

Basically, insofar as I'm concerned, by the damned gods that shirt is not a girl shirt until it grows a pair of functioning tits. Or at least until its species starts sexually reproducing and growing enough of a brain to self-identify with the artificial gender roles its people create. At which point I'm not sure there won't be noticeable moral issues with still wearing them as clothing.

I mean... I guess if there was consent or something. But it'd be kinda' like wearing a suit made of naked midgets and I'm afraid it's going to take a great deal of social change before I find myself comfortable with that prospect.

[Descan]

What about a dress with circuitry and a computational substrate woven into it, and an AI uploaded onto it that self-identifies as a girl dress?

[Frumple]

An AI can be taught better than to think such silliness.

Though I suppose that might be close enough. There'd still be the issue of wearing sentient beings as a fashion statement. Now it's not just naked squirming midgets, it's naked squirming midget cyborgs.

Sounds like what'd probably happen if Piers Anthony wrote cyberpunk

Frumple, I admit I don't have any idea what you're going on about. It's kinda hilarious though.

[Frumple]

Th'basic concept's pretty simple. I reject the concept of gendered clothing. Cloth is cloth is cloth, and until shirts start growing reproductive organs and sexually differentiating, the only difference -- to the extent there even is one, which is arguable -- between a "boy's" and a "girl's" shirt is who the blazes is wearing it. My jackets do not have functioning dangly bits, ergo, they are not boy jackets. They also have no womb, ergo, they are not girl jackets. They also have no brain, ergo, can not self-identify as an artificial gender role. It's a goddamn jacket. It has no sex.

By the gods, I will steal my opposite gendered parent's clothing as appropriate. If it fits and is comfortable, the rest of the considerations can bugger right the blazes off *grumble mumble*

I have similar rants on the bullshit of gender assigned colors. Until they start frakking breeding they're omnisexual/asexual and I've got a clawhammer that's very close to wanting to discuss any disagreements people have with that. It's honestly become progressively more annoying as I've gotten older

[Descan]

Still... Guy in a dress? REALLY CUTE.

[Corai]

Still... Guy in a dress? REALLY CUTE.

I agree. I agree so much.

Past Austin Powers.

[Max White]

Wow, he is actually a pretty good looking. I'm totally jealous of the perfect hair.

[Sirus]

THAT'S considered perfect? It looks messier than mine, and mine is pretty ugly!

[Max White]

That is the fashion these days... It looks so light and well conditioned!

[Sirus]

Maybe that's the problem...I don't use conditioner <_<;
