what is it? sorry, i can't... look.

.. I thought sex was physically determined while gender was mentally determined?

flyingbatteryzone: basically a whole lot of offensive stuff and just /psyduck emotes all over the place

playagame: is it by the krad that's there...

nope. someone else

kitska: I think it's that way, too.

oh okay.

playagame yeah, that's what I figured. ah well. /psyducks

...... Was this ooc post really necessary? 8|a

wait, that isn't a modling right?

kitska: I don't think so.

/psyducks everywhere

oh lord

Merriam-Webster defines 'gender' as

a : sex <the feminine gender>
b : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex

this is going to turn into one major clusterfuck

and 'sex' as

paste.plurk.com/show/hMB...

...oh jesus.

... /low whistle/ this is why I don't get in to these discussions...

but clearly 'gender' is defined as 'feminine' and not 'female'

yeaaaaah I always see sex as the physical properties of a person...

well, it's all nuance...I can see how someone wouldn't understand the distinction

not everyone, unfortunately, is informed enough about such things

trudat

I can tell you now as someone that knows that Krad's player, they with give NONE OF THE FUCKS over something like this

*would give

well, the word 'gender' is used so often as a euphemism for 'sex' on applications and such things that eh definitions have been confused

These things never go well u_u

I don't blame people for not understanding, because many people, including myself, were taught that gender and sex were synonyms

well, and they are often used as synonyms

because 'sex' is scary to say

In fact, we were taught that gender was the "polite" way to refer to someone's sex. You use it around kids and stuff.

and since 'sex' and 'gender' ARE often the same for the majority, nobody make such choices cared

it unfortunately means unfair things for the people that DON'T have such cohesion in their identiy

:|a i just...don't get the whole why people are getting so up in a tizzy about things in TLH that could offend you.

like I can think of worse things to get upset over than genderbending with improper pronoun use

That's true. TLH is...TLH

honestly this whole post reeks of butthurt and trying to be too PC

I am pretty much agreeing with the anon first post almost 100%

like if you don't want to play there or with someone that does genderbends then...okay don't

i don't get it

some people man

It... appears to be gone? Which is probably just as well.

yeah most likely

I am going to have some IMs to make later :\

ugh i wish i could have seen it.

I'm glad I didn't see it, honestly.
