Re: On Forum Rules and Moderation

I actually forgot to address something earlier, it was mentioned a couple of times that people considered PyTom posting in locked threads "power trippy". I don't really mind either way but if a post isn't made I think the threadstarter at least should receive a message so they can learn w...

Re: On Forum Rules and Moderation

Your past behavior will, of course, affect your future relationships with other people. This is not a consequence free world, and there are consequences to your actions. Saying something super racist, or transphobic, is going to make a good number of people not like you, or want to work with you. A...

Re: On Forum Rules and Moderation

It's not *only* you, but honestly speaking it's pretty messed up when someone states a very simple preference-- not to work with people who dehumanize them and others-- and then a horde of people post after saying how them not wanting to work with bigots makes them uncomfortable, how it is blacklis...

Re: On Forum Rules and Moderation

I was going to stay away from this thread, but reading through it I feel I'm really obligated to clear up a few things and offer my opinion. It was essentially my post that set off the debate, that then sparked this thread. I tend to use a quite blunt and over the top tone in general; and so when it...

Re: Non-Binary?

I wasn't saying you couldn't dislike or discuss them. I saw a contradiction in your claim of respect because you seem to believe that an "inadequate gender neutral substitute" isn't worthy of praise---this in a time when genderqueer people have greater recognition and respect than ever be...

Re: Non-Binary?

I am not denying that there is inequality, and I have only worded dislike for the particular term "non-binary". I respect a person's right to be referred to however they please, I do not respect pronouns.[...] Also, seeing people praising their inadequate gender neutral pronoun substitute...

Re: Non-Binary?

If I wasn't so excessively talented with overlooking the actual point of things I'd have definitely focused on that too. For myself, I suppose I don't identify myself with the typical gender stereotypes. Frankly for myself, gender isn't something I really identify with at all. I'm certain of my sex...

Re: Non-Binary?

If I wasn't so excessively talented with overlooking the actual point of things I'd have definitely focused on that too. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend. And I agree, I don't think men and women think that differently. Don't worry about offending me, I was only getting at myself with that line. ...

Re: Some quick questions for tumblr users

Thanks for the responses, and also to those who filled in the survey! A lot of the results are really interesting, and it's curious to hear peoples opinions on social media in general. Hi, I've only started using tumblr recently but I can still answer your questions to the best of my abilities. I do...

Re: Non-Binary?

@Quelcezot: I guess the reason for this thread is to show that people identify as many different genders, not just "woman/girl" and "man/boy," and that gender identity is such a personal thing that the gender pronounces used for said gender vary from person to person. And that w...

Re: Non-Binary?

I appreciate your comment trooper. As you've correctly pointed out I was misusing the word gender, using the term sex would have been more appropriate. I doubt I'm as knowledgeable as you are, but I am aware of gender as a social construct. As it happens I am also aware of the history of "they&...

Re: Non-Binary?

Something is physically either male, female, both, or neither. I interpret gender as physical, and attraction is towards male, female, both, or neither as well. Gender is actually a part-cognitive part-social construct. So no, it is not physical. Gender is not defined by your body. It's defined by ...

Re: Non-Binary?

They, etc isn't an adequate gender neutral pronoun. I can never claim to take pleasure in its usage, but it's better than using 'he' when the gender isn't known or disclosed due to the lack of social stigma. We trade the problem of default gender for the problem of having no way to distinguish indiv...
