• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    I think I get it now! Yay, thank you people for explaining this! I'm going to rephrase what I understood in case I got something wrong. I will be using the "official" definition of the words "transgender" and "transsexual" because I don't know if there are any other words that mean the same...

    Mrf. Here's my inability to phrase anything properly coming to bite me in the butt again. I suppose the question will now boil down to: what is the thought process of the people who are okay with their body but not okay with the gender most people think of when they see a person of that sort of...

    ...That could be why I'm confusing everyone..! I thought transgender and transsexual are different things. Uh yeah, that was a typo. It's fixed now. Sorry about that. I suppose I should rephrase my question then: are there people (I'm pretty sure there are, but it wouldn't hurt to check) who...

    Ummm, I'm still confused. I thought there's this big distinction between gender and sex? But then you said: I understand why people are transsexual. Hating your bits and wanting to change them is totally natural and understandable. What I don't understand is why people are transgender. I...

    Um. Not to be a mini-mod or anything, but can someone please answer Karkat's question? I kind of want to know the answer; I asked the same one a while back (twice, in fact), but both of them got buried under a bunch of people ragging about random things and nobody ended up answering my...

    I personally find that "ey/eir/em" passes off better and are more widely used (I've actually heard people use them irl before), but I think singular they is what society is trending towards. I feel like singular they is used more to obfuscate the gender of the person being referred to -- what...

    But you still haven't answered my question :( Why do you think that we should not have new special pronouns? Is it because people get really angry over it?

    >.> Yes, I read that. Yes, I read all your posts, more than once over, in fact. But I still can't figure out what you're trying to say... I will now attempt to dissect your posts so maybe you'd understand why I'm confused. Or maybe I'd figure out what you're saying. Who knows. So you're...

    In an attempt to go back on topic, I will rephrase and repost my question which kinda got drowned in all the drama. I understand that gender identity is important to a lot of people. What I don't understand is why. This could be because I view gender as a completely socially induced thing...

    But that's the reason I put it there :( Because all of those things are dumb. Guys should be allowed to wear pretty ribbons in their hair and girl engineers should be treated to be as competent as guy engineers, but society says "no" and gets all bitchy when it sees a guy wearing a dress and...

    Okay, I'm kind of still confused about this whole gender identity thing. I mean, I understand why people are transsexual* (if you look at your bits and feel an urge to yank it out and it makes you depressed because you hate it, etc etc), but since I view gender as a total socially-induced thing...
