Nintendo responds to kid’s request for nonbinary Pokémon

[Reynardine]

Thanks, it'll really help

Some of the uncommon ones are kinda amusing and baffling. But I guess most of the people who contributed to the list were serious.

Agreed

I'm talking about the "non-binary people don't exist" kind of remarks

Do you know who John Money was?

So some kid's relative is shamelessly using them to write this letter to Nintendo, how insecure of an adult does one have to be to come up with this.

Maybe they were traumatized and they ended up paying the kid in ice cream

The simple solution to all this gender talk is to get rid of gender entirely and start labeling people by chromosomes at birth. I don't care what surgery you have or what pill you take you can't change being an XX or a XY.

Hillarious

In all seriousness, trying to categorize every single gender identity or to even act like such a thing is possible is futile. There's no need for such rigid labeling and categorization, most non-binary people just exist how they are, just outside of the binary. The non-binary wiki doesn't really have much of a basis in reality outside of some tumblr internet spaces. Most people don't feel a need to label exactly who they are or fit themselves into any one box.



Bringing up this video again because it's a fantastic case about the topic

I agree, categorizing is extremely difficult and must be done in a simple way

That's the entire point you are either a man or a woman there is no in-between. Homosexually (man or woman) has been around since the beginning of time and even some animals have sex with the same type of sex just for pleasure. But people have to realize just like everything on earth the body is designed to reproduce . It is in a mans DNA to sleep with as many woman as he can to reproduce and it is in a woman's DNA to feel some type of security from a man as their protector.

Marriage, Nonbinary and etc..etc.. that is all manmade. When it comes to transgender (one again) people are entitled to how they feel but all they are doing is emulating a woman or a man. You may look like a woman or a man on the outside but the inside you have your original body parts. For example you can have a transgender woman that looks just like a woman on the outside but on the inside she doesn't have a uterus , eggs, vagina, and etc..etc.. the things that can make her a woman. I mean sure she can buy breasts and etc..etc.. but she can't buy the things that would make her a real woman.

Once again transgender people can feel like a woman or a man in spirit but in reality it really can't be done unless they get a complete gender change. But once again it would be more of artificial than natural. Once again I'm sorry if I offended anyone but it's just factual.

I can pretend that I'm rich on the outside by having fancy clothes but I don't have the bank account or the lifestyle of a rich person it's kinda where I'm getting at. It's nothing wrong feeling like I'm rich but in reality I'm not rich.

That's literally not how gender works.

I'm speaking more biologically not spiritually or emotionally. A person can be what they want to be but biologically when you go to the bathroom you either use your male or female body parts to go. There is no third option for you to use the restroom. (Unless you have both) which some people do have. I seen documentaries where a man can have more than one penis and a woman have more than one vagina.

Unless aliens cross breed with humans you will get a another variant of humans.

So you're describing sex, not gender.

Why would you want non-binary Pokèmon?




If there's no binaries, then there's no code, no coding means no pokèmon :V
Lol, also, while they basically replied with a non-answer (typical), guess at least nice of them to include some goodies in the reply.

 

[Goku1992A]

In a nutshell it's like religion. That is the best way I can possibly explain it. A person can be whatever gender they want to be but physically it's either one or the other.

I really wish there is an afterlife but idk if there is really one or not until the day I die. Physically I no longer exist but spiritually I may live forever.

It's really complicated because there is an answer to everything and you really can't tell a person how to label themselves as emotionally or spiritually.

No gender allowed in our kids game!

Male and Female, that's all the genders there is to have.
