Yeah, I'm the "thinks gender is bogus and thus change genders to suit my fancy" variety of genderfluid than the variety who actually have fluctuating gender identification.

You find it bogus and yet you still use it; more actively than most it would seem.

I would think someone who genuinely found it bogus would not use it all or use it only in an ironic or mocking fashion.

That's a bit inflammatory. And untrue.

That's kinda harsh. I know a few people with radical beliefs or unpopular opinions have been banned, but I think it was less for having them and more for the way they went about it.
Then again, we purged most of the bigots early on.

rip IWM.

Yawn. I see our friend with the curiously phallic gore fetish is back.

I wonder if it ever occurs to trolls of this type, that the kinds of gore they post is very telling about their own subconscious minds and secret inadequacies.  If they were, surely they wouldn’t spread awareness of what they find most disturbing..

Curious how he makes up in volume what he lacks in originality.  Also telling.

Such curious people in our world.

I did say I use it to suit my fancy. I'm not against the concept of genders.

Gender is as much biological as it is ideological, with no real boundry.  Gender is more a spectrum in my experience.

Then again, I may not be the best to talk with authority.

I'm quiet in everyday life also unless it's important but I'm always listening, reading and watching.

I probably lurked for a year or 2 before I even joined. I think i had a modding question for breeding megabeasts or some such.

But I was sad today because one of my sanctuaries was defiled.

Yhea, it's been going on for about 4 days, you can just post in the troll watch thread if you are particularly squeamish and want to watch out in case it comes back.

Gender, in the sense they're using the term, is more ideological and psychological; it is biological only in the technical sense that abstract thought is ultimately a function of the brain. It is also, as Objective pointed out, bogus; like all ideologies. omnia vanitas


Physical sex on the other hand is purely biological and completely independent of both thought and of the brain (and, in fact, of any organs other than the gonads) and, at its most fundamental level, is extremely clear cut - divided alpng lines of gamete production, you can be one or the other or neither or both. Anything else - in order to be found in a human - would require the evolution of either novel mating types or of motile eggs and/or true and viable spermatia and/or of viable gametes of a size and shape clearly distinct from both sperm and eggs. Some other species, especially among funguses, are divided along different lines but still generally produce some subset of a fixed set of mating types and gamete shapes.


EDIT:
On a less fundamental level there's a much greater number of potential combinations of physiological and neurological secondary sex charaxteristics. But they are all, as the category implies, secondary and non-essential features of said sex.

There's no way to say this politely, but...

...are you actively looking for reasons to leave the forums? In the first troll thread, you complained about the moderation, now you're complaining about the people here. And, again, it's not even accurate - I've seen instances where people expressing what you deride as 'the party line' too aggressively and getting told to knock it off. If it's a honest mistake - well, shit happens; but if you dislike the community as a whole, sticking around regardless seems rather masochistic.

The reason those threads get locked is because, no matter the side, eventually a supporter of either of the sides of the argument fails to maintain the chill composure, and some people on the other side respond in kind. It takes two to flamewar.

Mainly I'm thinking aboit the rage thread, the several recently closed religious threads, and several other things I won't bring up because I've been asked not to.

I think Bohandas just enjoys taking a sort of devil's advocate viewpoint of everything.
I just roll with it.

*Manly Shoulder Pat*

Gender
Gender
In my obtusive and generally abrasive opinion, Gender is purely physical and (Until science evolves to the point to make various otaku Incredibly Happy~) pretty Polar. There's blurred lines at either end but no real middle point.
Gender Identity, however, is rather fluid, and shifts and varies based on hormones, experiences, tastes and dare I say it, oppression.

In my much more draconian personal viewpoints, I'll call someone a specific pronoun based on the first definition, not the second.
If you want me to call you a different gender, scrape together some thousands and become it.
