• 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?

    The studies are never set out as studying how gender roles affect people, but how different genders (specifically, male and female) perform in set situations. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The studies never take any gender other than m/f into account. The studies never take anyone not...

    kk slept so I think I can reply calmly+legibly?? I'm rather confused why you're bringing gender stereotypes into this. Let's put that topic aside for now, okay, because it's a different issue, and I'm confused at your bringing it up so if you can clarify it for me, cool, otherwise yeah...

    sdgdf this exact issue exists in Hebrew and is like, 70% of the reason I hate the gorram language. There isn't even 'it' to refer to people?? I can't even speak about gew, ffs. u_u I really, really hate gendered languages, uhg. I've been thinking of inventing pronouns but the difficulty is, all...

    o Trans* was started in the 90s, so it's not that recent. And it was started specifically as a way to include non-binaries. 9_9

    Gender

    Trans* means anyone who is not cis. The point of the * is to be all-inclusive of trans-ness, including non-binaries and everyone. Genderqueer is a specific identity. It's often used to mean non-binary but it's a misuse; it means someone who is genderqueer and identifies as such. (although you...

    @Poly, you could always make an actual survey and post it online for people to answer in. Sovram, I'd be willing to answer gender-related questions, if Cirrus isn't up to it.

    Transgender and transexual can be a part of identity, same as man and woman, however trans* isn't referring to a specific person, but the community as a whole. It's not singling anyone out, but trying to include everyone; thus it cannot erase someone's identity because the * includes everyone...

    Hm. I started by wiking transgender, I know that. Then I moved onto ftm, mtf, the surgeries; but that was a long, long, long time ago. I'm not sure how I even remember that. Things I google tend to be not-questions and more vague, like 'ftm binding' or 'top surgery prices' or... idek... 'stomach...

    I hate using not-my computers ; ; oh well... I don't recall saying (let alone multiple times) that people should just look things up. I did say they should ask in a way that I understand and do not find triggering. (To be honest I don't understand why people don't just look things up; but...

    Please don't use the official definition, Linoone, no one will understand you. Also never ever use transexual as a verb.

    Bluh. Me: Jolty: We are sort of getting at the same point here. Gender identity is related to body dysphoria and the realization that (well this was my realization I don't mean to put words into other trans* peoples mouths) you were born wrong. It would exist without gender constructs...

    Well, if that's how it works, then look at all the negative things uv and Hawke said about me. :v I don't think I was the rudest of the bunch, honestly. But, I think it is more rude to lie and not say what you are thinking, unless you think what you say will hurt the person too much.

    I don't think I was actually all that rude to him; I simply asked him to read the thread, where the question had been previously asked an answered. I do think it got out of hand. I don't understand why that is not a valid response. Also, I am not/was not calling him a moron, I was calling him...
