When you say genderfluid, what does that mean? Blurring the definitions between genders, easier access to atypical gender identity, or both? I ask for clarity only because it seems like describing a more genderfluid society is pretty vague, especially in a world where less than 1% of people (that we know of) identify as trans (I assume genderqueer falls under the umbrella term trans). For the overwhelming majority of people, biological sex and gender align.

This is the first time I've ever heard that about ADHD. I've been diagnosed with ADD, and have been for a very long time. I was on ritalin in the 90's for it. I'm not so sure it makes sense... but that's a big long conversation for another day.

But doesn't the whole idea of gender dysphoria fit that description? Having something "wrong with you", for lack of a better phrase, isn't inherently bad. A child needs braces because there is something "wrong" with their teeth, so they get them corrected. It's not offensive to refer to it that way, right? If you are pre-transition transgender, doesn't that mean that something isn't right with you, and that thing needs correcting?

do you accept as fact that trans men are men?

Yes.

I mean it's literally in the Cambridge dictionary. Saying it's not used by anyone is not exactly true.

Either way, this seems like a completely semantic argument. I was trying to argue with a bigot who claimed that transitioning isn't a thing, and you're coming after me over a semantic word choice? Doesn't that feel sort of counter productive?

No you haven't, none of what you're saying is making much sense. I don't understand your point at all, I'm asking you to clarify.

In every dictionary definition of the word condition, it IS a neutral term... it just means "the state of something". In the dictionary definition of the word "transgenderism" (the noun, not the adjective 'transgender') they use the word condition.

This seems like seriously semantic cherry picking. Me being a bit too hot is a condition, back pain is a condition, the word doesn't have any malicious meaning.

Elaborate.

The dictionary and everything I've ever read about transgenderism call it a condition. If you don't think that's the right word for it, then what is?

Each of those statements that I made are correct. Please elaborate on how you think they aren't.

Transgenderism is the noun, it's the name of the condition. Transgender is the adjective, it's how you describe the person who is experiencing transgenderism.

Where exactly was I wrong?

Actually I did keep researching this, and what a lot of people are missing is the difference between sex and gender. Biological sex, for most people, line up with our gender. For an unfortunate few, the gender they identify with is different from their biological sex. That's basically the definition of transgender!

So someone might be born biologically male, but identify as a woman. That person would then "transition", which takes many forms and layers but at the end of the day we treat that person as a woman. We call them "she" and "her", the same pronouns we'd use on any other woman. Now their doctor will still check them for prostate cancer, because despite the transition they're still biologically male.

In other words, all things related to the person's physical biological nature might still be male (outside of any changes hormone therapy makes), but socially we treat them as women because that's how they self-identify. It all makes sense, it's pretty easy to understand if you think about it honestly.

Okay, so I looked it up, and it turns out that yeah, in fact some men have actually transitioned into women. In fact, some women have transitioned into men! It's called "transgenderism". Fascinating read, actually, thanks for encouraging me to look this up!

Mads version is different but good god is it effective. He makes you question whether he's borderline supernatural. He's got this permanent statuesque stare, he sits or stands so unbelievably still, then in a blink he's moving faster than you can keep up with to go do something completely evil. He's always, ALWAYS, frustratingly several steps ahead of absolutely everyone. Even when our protagonists think they've got the jump on him, they've only managed to close the gap a little bit. He just always wins. It's terrifying.

I am so god damn upset that we didn't get more. The next season would have introduced Clarise. I want so desperately to see the show's interpretation of Silence of the Lambs.

You also paid twice as much as you do today. That 45$ MSRP for a Nintendo game is the equivalent in today's money of 108$.

You paid equal to over a hundred USD per Nintendo game.

I wish the story ended before the 4th war, and it was just... over. One brief arc instead of the war where Naruto matures, realizes that he has to make the difficult decision to give up on Sasuke and instead of fighting to bring him back they have one big fuck-all fight loaded with emotion and purpose and Sasuke dies. Roll credits.

If you want to tell a new story then tell a NEW story, something from a different country. Maybe something from the far past.

O shit, I didn't even consider that... yeah that is fucked lol.

"losing money" only in the sense that they didn't get to sell it for what it was originally expected to be worth... it was still a free $225K each. I'll take that any day.

That case was fascinating... the ruling was basically that both men had claim to the ball, so they had to sell it and split the money. It was bought by friggin Todd McFarlane for $450,000 in 2003.

His fruit is a FISH fruit. It's a carp DF. I assume that turning into a dragon is the awakening, yeah? Especially since it's based on that Japanese legend where a carp literally "awakens", transforming into a dragon after climbing the waterfall.

Aang could never lift it. Part of the worthiness of the enchantment requires a level of violence and willingness to kill if necessary that Aang does not possess.

Toph and Iroh, day 1.

That's exactly my point, we are paying LESS today for MORE game. Game development costs have gone up, while the actual return has gone down drastically.

It should not be a surprise that they're finding alternative means to get more revenue. Microtransactions, DLC, "battle pass", or just re-releasing the same game every year (e.g. sports games, where they can just update a roster and some stats).
