My problems with the current Black Widow (coming from someone who isn't a die-hard Marvel fan but is reasonably familiar with the characters) is that she wasn't ruthless enough. When I imagine Black Widow fighting someone I don't imagine ridiculous flip round move, I imagine her either quickly...

From how I've come to understand gender I would say that there would be over 7,000,000,000 genders, where every human being has their own unique gender and as such defining or referring to genders is pointless.

Hi Kyuubi, thank you for your response on the other thread, apologies if I go in a bit of a different direction to what you intended because the term is intrinsically related to the definition. To be cis or transgender, there must be use of gender. The whole scum thing is problem what has...

Hey Kyuubi, I know that you've been busy/maybe you just don't want to answer the questions I've asked, but if possible I would appreciate it if you could answer them. Cheers

Genetics Student here to help. So geneticists have found the sex determining region of the Y chromosome (which we in the field like to call "the sex determining region of the Y chromosome" or SRY coz we're creative like that). However in some very rare cases the SRY can be moved to the X...

Hi, thanks for making this thread, I really appreciate you trying to help others understand. It'd be great if you could help me with three things. 1. What does it mean/feel like when you identify as your gender? 2. Do you feel like you need to define your gender (To say I am...

You guys realise he's been getting questions about how to write strong female characters for years and the answer is more or less I write a strong character who is female. As for all the people complaining about his interpretation of the word female maybe he thought the question was referring to...

From NZ. Yes. I also wonder if the percentage of 18+ citizens carrying handguns on their person in the US is higher than the percentage of police officers in NZ (if you get what I'm trying to say)... Partially due to the fact I think common practice in NZ is to keep police firearms locked in the...

What irks me is male/man and female/woman already were in use to describe sex. If people want words to use for gender they shouldn't just say oh these words refer to gender, not sex, now or claim that they always had. The words were fine for their original meaning (referring to sex) if you want...

Hi IMissedThatOne, I am not an expert either. Nothing wrong with quick research. It is horrible to hear again, even though I already knew, that some dysphoric individuals were more or less tortured in the name of therapy. I hope you know I do not endorse this and know that this disgusts...

Hi Nieroshai, Thank you for responding. I too do not have a degree in development psychology, so do not despair. I feel like you said what you wanted to say well. I know I don't have a PhD in everything, I doubt anyone else does as well so I hope you do not feel disheartened from giving your...

Hi CrystalShadow, I'm confused why you say "that's reductionism bordering on the absurd...". If one intends to define something they need to set the definition for it. That's how defining something works. The two definitions are the ones I have encountered in my experience. You may say that...

Will that be true for all therapy methods ever or is it just true for all recorded ones so far? Does therapy have to be painful? Do parenting conditions affect whether the child will have dysphoria? Can a short amount of time in therapy later in life be expected to have greater effect parenting...

The problem many people have with this is how is one ill-suited? What's so different between being a guy or girl? Or to put it another way why does one care which sex they are. (Edited for grammar)

Was just about to post this FirstNameLastName... you think that wouldn't be that hard to come up with...
