Are you a boy or girl or other?

deletedover 10 years

I want to make a poll to see how many players are from each gender! It's interesting to know and plus voting is fun!

You identify as:
75
Boy
53
Girl
18
Other

the whole point of this poll is to gather data. it ruins the data if you have cisgender girls voting as boys.


can we just revisit the fact that Sammie thinks this is a scientific poll and can't fathom people screwing around and voting an option that isn't actually what they are

this whole thing happened because sammie just couldn't accept that girls can identify as boys.

I really don't understand why is it is so difficult to accept people as being the gender they identify as...

I came here for the debate, was not disappointed.

why is your position different from the consensus of the APA? all those years of college you went through to learn about psychology, right?


Probably because the APA is located in America and Canada, neither of which I live in.

that's not how it works.

every major scientific body recognizes that. you cant change your biological sex but your gender identity isnt intrinsically linked to it


Yeah but if you're a MtF trans or FtM trans then your gender is "transgender"

That's just how it is, no further explanation to it. It's like asking why are males born as males.

why do you associate biological sex/genitals with gender?
over 10 years
Regardless of gender everyone looks different and acts different due to uniqueness in DNA/genes and environmental factors.

so what does a person that has an "other" gender look and act like?
over 10 years
Depends which gender reproductive system they more closely resemble. If it's so hard to tell then the option "other"

i mean if we are basing gender identity entirely on genitals here.
