Too bad. There are always new people being born. I would never run down the street shouting plot points, but anyone who has watched a “Top Moments in Game History” have been spoiled already.

What if I get the nano-injection using an all-natural bamboo needle? Can I argue it down to a -3? 

What am I actually supposed to dislike him for? Because I don’t think you presented an actual argument with the exception of “People who are homophobic are all secretly gay,” which is an exception only inasmuch as it is entirely possible to be incredibly homophobic and straight.

I feel like Lord of the Rings: Gollum is almost certain to run into problems. They claim they want to be true to the books. Gollum, if portrayed true to the books, is a *terrible* main character. If they remain true to the story the books tell, there’s virtually no opportunity to insert a meaningful story progression…

The reason people are required to have insurance is because of what happened in states like New York State (I’m a resident). If you want to understand why, look into the insurance reform carried out here in the 1990s.

The only spoilers in FF7 Remake will be places (if any) where they depart from the original narrative. And frankly, I’d be surprised if they do that to a degree necessary to qualify for them.

The game came out in 1997. The only spoilers for FF7 (remake) would be plot points specifically not in the original.

If you genuinely, truly think I don’t care about the lives of women and girls, you have absolutely no reason to continue this conversation. Why would you?

So let me get this straight if male rapists would start to identify as women you would say that the majority of sexual assault is carried out by women?

It is the EXPECTATION that girls will give birth that makes us female, whether or not we fulfill it.

“People with penises” (lol) have been raping and forcibly impregnating “people with vaginas” (lol) for millennia, no matter what was considered “masculine” or “feminine”. It has never been the other way around.

My question does not seem disingenuous and irrelevant to anyone who cares about the rights of women and girls.

Evolution likes to get reaaaaaal squirrely, sometimes, just to prove it can.

You nailed it. 

Blue Mina wrote such an excellent response, I’m just going to let hers stand. 

Does the ability to give birth define womanhood / female-ness / femininity in your eyes? Because that’s certainly not an argument I’d make.

The fundamental problem I have with biological determinism is that it assumes — it must assume — that being male or female has a single valid range of expression.

I spent six months reading radical lesbian feminist blogs once. I saw a criticism of trans rights from one such group and it startled me. I was familiar with attacks on trans people from the right, but not from radical feminists. I wanted to understand the underlying argument that led to them.

Well that’s the thing though. It’s not your fantasy, but it sure is the fantasy of many people.

Why are only children off limits? Where does it stop? Why not gruesome murder and rape in fiction? Not everything that happens to characters is consented. And if you can tell the difference between reality and fantasy, what’s the problem?
