• 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?

    Please stop using joke pronouns

    I think the reason why the terminology is like this is because it was not created to be inclusive to trans* people, or with recognition of the differences between sex and gender, or what those mean. Its just outdated words we still use for ease of use, they don't rationalization to be justified...

    Please stop using joke pronouns

    It doesn't, because transsexual people don't actually transition between sexes. There is no sex change going on, as that is currently impossible with modern science. Yes, physical characteristics of sex are changed, but not the sex itself. Does this matter for identification purposes? No...

    Please stop using joke pronouns

    Well, yes, in the specialized-terminology of gender studies, but in ordinary language, male and female are often used as identity makers, and even in some gender studies (see also: Male-to-Female/Female-to-Male Transsexual person). And we weren't "raised" to recognize this, its just a pattern...

    Furthermore, 'brain' is not an adjective, but a noun, wherein 'mental' is an adjective, and can be used in said context. Also: So, who else thinks this is going to get reversed like in California? =/

    Secret Link...again

    I found it because I found it on the old site, and they are basically in the same location as it was a few years ago, and back then it was super-easy to find, so yeah. The secret link is awesome because it contains the Writing Guide, which I really, really love. I still consult it for my...

    I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to make any of you upset. =( In the context I was trying to establish: *Gender: Is determined by characteristics of the brain tissue and has supremacy in all social contexts and interactions. This can be considered 'brain sex', however, in most gender studies...

    Gay Marriage Legalized in NY

    I have read everything you have said, I just don't understand your arguments. I know of these differences, I am not sure where the implication was that I didn't. A same-sex relationship would be a trans man and a cis woman getting together. A same-gender relationship would be a trans man and a...

    Well they already have such shirts for heterosexual people, homosexual or bisexual people are a (just barely) big enough market for such shirts, but trans* people? The amount of trans* people willing to wear their identities on an inane shirt? It just isn't feasible for a store to do so...

    At first I thought Perform This Way crossed some sort of taste line for Weird Al's parodies, but then I realized that that was intentional, seeing how Lady Ga Ga pushes such lines all the time.
