    (Science ruins everything) dinosaurs with feathers

    Feathers. I remember a webcomic with deinonychi with proper feathers, a whole pack of them. They were utterly terrifying due to the whole "pack of rabid birds tearing people apart through pure ferocity". They were certainly not less scary. And latter I saw artwork of one interpretation, with...

    Fallout 4...might the protagonist be "set"?

    Yeah, I do not believe Bethesda to be THAT stupid. The whole point of the game is customization and shaping your own adventure, exploring the world. Has always been. This would be turning Resident Evil into a generic shooter stupid, wait I forgot where I was going with this... Anyway, if I...

    Fallout Announcement Confirmed!

    Now, I never got around to finish the first game and never played the second. What part of the lore are you thinking of? I kind of like it being loosely connected to 3, gives hope of the being something akin to a New Vegas 2. On Topic: Give me the rough gameplay of New Vegas with some...

    The worst documentary you have ever seen

    It was an american documentary about the viking age. Everything was dark, grim, misty, people looked famished, only wore brown and grey clothing. That on it's own was bad considering how warm the climate was back then and how colourful clothes a lot of the free people had. Then the commentary...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    I do not understand it either. But my amateurish opinion is that if transsexualism is that the brain developes into the opposite gender in terms of body-brain mapping then it is not unreasonable that cases where it is not as absolute could exist. But i suspect that the main confusion is that non...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    In short, I would take hormones. I would probably be less likely to get surgery. But yeah, estrogen is vital for my emotional and mental stability. And for me personally I didn't think much about gender or sex at all until puberty hit and I knew something was very very WRONG, and when I saw my...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    They were pretty big in the second wave. The whole "lesbian as a political choice", and "everything is patriarchal". Mainstream feminism at that time was very much white, western, middle class. They pretty much alienated all minorities, which triggered the third wave. That got a tad bit too...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    There are those who do that, so you are definitely on to something. Problems with it is that a lot of the time society refuse to let us just be men or women as everone else. Laws with bounties on our heads for using public bathrooms of our preference for example, even to the level when someone...

    Having difficulty understanding transgendered people? I'll try to help.

    Yep, that relation is complicated. For decades the feminist movement was dominated by radical feminists of the anti trans variant, now we are as a rule accepted at least in theory but pretty much seen as a tertiary issue. One interesting thing is that trans women with a feminist interest have...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens Photo Series Shows New Heroes and Villains

    And this was just what I needed to read regarding that character. He looks a lot less intimidating without his mask, like not at all. I have seen people compare him to prince Zuko from that avatar movie that should not have been made. But yeah, Revan in The Old Republic was fairly meh until he...

    NY Woman to Become Fire Fighter Without Passing Physical Exam

    No, no, no. Just no. A very bad and stupid idea. The proper feminist approach to this is to have the same standards for everyone and let everyone have a fair chance at the tests. Way more women can pass the "male standards" than a lot of people realise. They really do not need to have easier...

    Poll: Would you hook up with/date a trans person?

    Bisexual and trans myself. Why yes of course I would. I don't know what more to add, it is really that simple. I guess I can add that other transfeminine people have an easier time relating to me, my relation to my body and so on. Which means things get simpler when it comes to sex. Otherwise I...

    If being transexual is so dangerous, why would anybody go in for that lifestyle?

    I'd just wanted to thank people commenting in this thread for giving me back some faith in this forum, I was pretty much ready to abandon it. Anyways. I tried "being normal", it doesn't fucking work. AT ALL. It only boosted my mental health issues manyfold, made me a social pariah, utterly...
