I've been wondering if I'm agender lately. I mean, the more I think about, the more I realize that gender isn't really part of my internal identity at all. Which is kinda WTF. Mostly because it's taken me nearly 21 years to come to this conclusion/get this idea. e-e

I'm reasonably sure that most people are that way, and Tumblrites just play up to a massive degree how important gender is.

This. I mean, most people have some sense of gender, but outside of fiction it is one of a large number of personal identifiers, less important than many and more important than many, often changing depending on the situation.

I don't care about being masculine but I identify very confidently as male.  If that makes any sense.

"Gender doesn't matter" is an increasingly popular sentiment but I'd be shocked if more than like 5% of people truly feel that way.  As for agenderdness... I can't think of a single person, internet or otherwise, I've known who openly identifies as agender.

I very strongly ID as male, but also have zero attraction to feminine types (be they male or female).

No Girls Allowed in my Clubhouse.

I think it's how they would like to feel.  Social expectations based on gender norms or ideals are a pain in the ass for most people.  I've seen too many cases of wannabe macho men to think otherwise.

I think i'm genderfluid, but I'm sticking to male until there are further evidences

The ending of Warhammer40k: Space Marine. So he saves the planet, kicks ass, takes out at least 50 fallen chaos marines and a DAEMON PRINCE, along with a warboss of similar power, and the Imperium's reward for this brave ultramarine? Investigate him for chaos taint! What the fuck! He just saved a forgeworld that made TITANS from being lost, and killed off a DAEMON PRINCE! What the hell Imperium!

Waghaghaaaa~!! Read one of the books sometime mate! It's a crapsack universe in 40k. Nothing good ever happens. :p

Still stupid as hell. At least the Blood Ravens have the good sense to let the badass daemon-killers go and kill daemons instead of investigating the heretic-killer for heresy. Grimdark is fine, grimderp is not.

And seriously, contact with a major chaos power -- like hey, daemon prince -- is well known to inflict chaos taint. Which may be a particularly grody fungal infection, but this is the stuff it takes Inquisitors to deal with. Hopefully it's just a little nurgling or something in hiding in his boots.

Because seriously. Space marine chaffing has been known to destroy entire worlds. You can't play around with that.

Ok, point on the major chaos power thing, and the prince was a former space marine. But what is chaffing? Term for a space marine going to chaos and deciding to blender the everything?

[Furtuka]

Zat twas an extension of the fungal infection metaphor.

[Ogdibus]

That's pretty tame compared to what the practice was in the past.  Get your hands on a copy of "Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness".  Then you'll see the real Chaos.  Read Dune for the real Imperium.

Spoiler: To quote a delightful piece of fiction (click to show/hide)

"Ah, but you also get them a lot, enough to come up with particularly witty comments about it. Did you know that you get them because you wear thongs? On long missions? And it's not just the boys who get sweaty. Girls sweat too, and multiple days running through the woods, exerting yourself, sweating, and not having time for a shower, you've brought this on yourself. Wear some granny panties for a change. Or a skirt. More air flow, less… humidity."

Tenten was horrified. She didn't even want to know how he knew this stuff.

"Ano… what is he talking about, Tenten?" Lee asked, all innocent curiosity.

"Nothing, Lee," she hissed. "Girl stuff that a boy shouldn't know!"

"It's simple, Lee," Naruto explained. "She didn't wash her blossoming flower often enough and now she's got the burning flames."

Lee blinked.

Dune does not generally blow up planets to get rid of daemon infestations. Which, if I remember right is the normal response to daemon princes. So Titus is a planet buster
