No I didn't forcefully inject gender roles into the conversation.

Yes, you did. I quoted the exact point where you did it. Nobody ever mentioned the user being a male or female. You did. It also seems like, up to a couple posts ago, that you still were suggesting that it is important. Are you changing your mind now?

Where in the post you are talking about did I meantion what genitals I do or don't have? I didn't so that is outright lies.

Though it wasn't absolutely direct, you made personal accounts of psychoanalysis you participated in in pre-op procedures of your transition. The insinuation is that genitals, at least, existed. You made it a topic.


Oh, then you talked about someone else having balls. Totally inappropriate.

I said do you have the balls to do something. That is a well known statement used in English to inquire how brave someone is. It has fuck all to do with someones genitalia as you well know.

Also there are many different GRS procedures that can be done that have fuck all to do with one's genitalia.

Anyway types of GRS
vaginoplasty, feminizing augmentation mammoplasty, orchiectomy, facial feminization surgery, reduction thyrochondroplasty (tracheal shave), and voice feminization surgery among others.

Facial feminization, thyrochondroplasty, voice surgery all have fuck all to do with your genitals.

So again in my post about GRS where did I say anything about what genitals I do or don't have or indeed imply what I have had done?

Okay, I guess it is possible for you to have testosterone but not testicles. Thank you for educating me. I will make sure that I won't disenfranchise another person who expresses their experience with gender reassignment surgery in their quest to become more feminine. Now can you tell me why it was okay for you to assume someone else's gender, or why it is okay for you to assume that I should have known, and considered it wholly relevent?

Btw, emasculation is emasculation, and that's why the well known statement about not having balls ever became a thing. If you were serious, then it'd be better for everyone if you avoided using such archaic insults regarding sexuality.

Where did I assume someone else's gender? Everyone's gender is plain to see on their profile page right.

And as for you not knowing. it is not my responsibility to educate people in GRS when the information is easily found online. But yesI will do so when asked or someone is blatantly wrong in what they are claiming.


Saying someone has the balls to do something is not a sexiest remark and is used in the west by pretty much everyone and is asked to both males and female's. Again it is a statement about bravery and has nothing to do with gender or genitals. And is not archaic in the least.

I was being sarcastic. I'm not interested. I wasn't really that curious, but my interaction with you makes me less interested.

It is 100% rooted in sexuality. What should make it archaic is the notion that you want to depart from sexualizing or gendering people. "supposedly".

Sorry it has actually been ruled in law that asking someone if they have the balls to do something is not sexiest and is a statement of how brave someone is so there you go.

And yes most members take the courtesy to check members profiles to check peoples genders you know so they don't say anything wrong.

I feel most (unheard of) news sources should be banned on this Political subforum (Mostly right wing propaganda/hoax media that spew out more lies than truths) what I'm saying is actual fact checking (at least see if CNN for US news or even Fox is reporting it too)

So you're now the arbiter of what's sexist and what's transphobic. I thought we were all about respecting the individual, I thought if he says he finds what you're saying is sexist then you should respect it. I guess not, I for one welcome our new word police overlord.

And yes most members take the courtesy to check members profiles to check peoples genders you know so they don't say anything wrong.

I disagree, I would suggest most people do not check profiles for somebodys gender because most people absolutely do not give a fuck and have better things to do/worry about.

Quit saying sexiest, and the phrase is 100% sexually rooted, rude, and inappropriate for all the reasons you have mentioned prior. When said to about a man, it is definitely emasculating, as there is no way it can't be interpreted as a double entendre.

So what you're saying is less options are better. No need to think for yourself. Just have one news source giving all the information, a bit like they do in China and North Korea. Nothing dodgy goes on over there.

Good take sir.

So what part of you assumed that I was suggesting that you, female, needed help from a male? Seems like you are the one imposing gender roles. It's still repulsive, and more so with every attempt you make to distort it.

Yes my racist drunk uncle bob’s Facebook posts should be taken at the same level of an AP REPORTER.

Nah its repulsive that you continue to attack for no reason and continue to misquote everything I have said. But then you do have a history of misquoting or changing the context of what people have said for your own gain as can be seen in other threads as other users have pointed out several times. And reply all you want to this I will be saying no more about this in this thread.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day

Because most people on here are reposting your racist uncles facebook posts as news? Another amazing take by the dumb panda.
lol come one you are in the Joe Biden thread also , half the posters use facebook post about rumors and misinformation and the other half post real news articles of Trump's Court losses.

I think post count shouldn't increase nor should XP from likes in this section. It won't solve most problems but at least it might at least help cut down the people who pretty much only post in this section and possibly encourage them to actually take part in the rest of the community. The ultimate goal is just to cut back on the people who join just to argue in this section.

I personally don't think it anything should be done. I mean as long as it stays on topic and People are not being maliciously attacked personally and it does not spill out the other parts of the forum. ..

I mean I don't want to look at a 3ds Luma Thread and it be 3 pages of the election.
People can just ignore the Political section, just like you would areas you don't look at

My suggestion is more about wanting to encourage fewer people to be inclined to literally living in this section. With no rewards coming out of spam posting or just living here, hopefully, users will be less inclined to start pointless arguments or at least venture out of this section and maybe useful in the rest of the forums.

if users want to stay world news and politics? I tend to just lurk for 11 years. I look at almost all the forum areas weekly but just because I don't post there does not mean I don't use the rest of the forum.
and Pointless argument? I guess you don't remember gateway updates and atmos vs SX threads. PS3 threads. lol

I am not saying you don't use the rest of the forums nor else of the sort, just making a suggestion that might help with some of the issues found in this section.
Bickering about homebrew software and video games is literally the point of GBAtemp. Even if they are pointless bickers, it's still literally the reason why this site exists and the reason why those sections after heavily categorized for those purposes. This section only exists because the pointless political bickering kept taking up space in different sections and the staff decided to make a dedicated section just for that pointless bickering. That being said, removing reward for this section might at least help cut back on some of the problems found in this section. If people aren't being rewarded for their posts, they might be a little less likely to literally live in this section.
