@Sucuk Ekmek This! This could be a god solution. Let all the competitors give a vote if they want a trans competing in their field. That seems fair and democratic.

@no_name This sounds similar to J.K.Rowling's experience of this issue.

@hoodrow trillson There's no denying that a hierarchy is created, no matter how fundamentally relative the hierarchy is, within a group of males and females. The few leaders in charge, his/her line of first generation followers, and the rest of the followers beneath them and the ruler. Yes I'm including women as well because of a few instances of female tribes and warriors.

@Ulax I'd agree, if you are in an environment and group of horny men who have normalized to sexually objectifying woken around them. These are not the viking times dude.

@Arcangelo It does feel like a tricky situation to me. I wouldn't know how to handle this well myself.

Both Destiny and Mr. Girl gave their takes on transgender, and where it may of may not be a good idea. Highly contextual, I can agree.

@SOUL For example, to explain how interchangeable these terms are, a long time ago I was bullied repeatedly because my state of being was weak and cowardly, I was a beta then. I eventually beaten my bully up, and became a sort of Omega among my peers, and I could have easily become even more omega and could've done far worse, but thankfully it didn't go that way. I then studied martial arts and boxing, as a way to channel that omega energy and became slightly more alpha, and grown a bit out of that. See how fluid these terms are, like identity, nothing nefarious about them at all, other than misunderstanding how fluid and dynamic the terms are.

@SOUL no no no no no no Alphas, betas, sigmas, deltas, omegas, gammas, romeos and charlies are terms that are not fully distinct their own, there are degrees and variations, like one time you were totally beta and had to rely on family for survival, and you become alpha slowly over time, gaining more and more of your independence, just like how one's ego development changes over time. It depends on one's stage, cognitive and moral development, personality type, states of consciousness and being and becomings, life experiences and lines of development to put this issue and other related issues of emasculation into context, into the big picture of it all. All I've read in this forum, some other forums, the internet and library. This needs very broad thinking and nuance to know the causes for the constructions of these terms. I think you've misunderstood me for the past 4 years of me being in this forum, and I never heard of you unfortunately. These terms are actually more related to states of being and becoming than you think.

@Ulax That's partly true in movies, but you will not be encouraged publicly, or in private, to chase girls in social settings.

@MarkKol I've read made in Abyss, it's a good story with good art. Witch's hat atelier is another great manga. Simple story but really good art quality and panel layout is creative. To people who think dating is art, it isn't art: it's mental torment.

@MarkKol It's ok to be pragmatic/utilitarian, but view your art work, whatever it is, in thqt light later rather than in the beginning.

@vladorion I wouldn't say equally corrupt. Both are corrupt, but one is more corrupt than the other. One is a democratic government, while the other is an authoritarian dictatorship government. Both have made mistakes in history, but both are not equally mistaken.

@itachi uchiha Shoot! I misread your question sorry. Entire Vocaloid cast, Hatsune Miku, Justjn Beaver and Timberlake. Maybe Elton John and Michael Jackson.

@thisintegrated My impression is, in terms of achieving and success, they are pretty good at it, at least the oranges that really want business success. Nothing less or more, stage orange is part of the spiral and is necessary for psychological development. Otherwise, no self actualization or spiritual growth.

@machiavelli Most minds operate frame by frame, all in one frame. There are some exceptions when multiple frames are somehow developed in a mind, but that's why most people dream one thing at a time.

@Antor8188 Understandable. I don't know if you did do 1000 or 100 approaches or speaking from experience, but I've done over that, and let me tell you right now, there's NOTHING EASY ABOUT APPROACHING! That's a bold lie there, the majority of my approaches were difficult and nothing easy. It only got slightly easier when you actually go to places where that kind of attitude is acceptable, like Los Vegas. People who say it's easy just have a beautiful face, social circle, and/or good personality to leverage more. But yeah, Vegas is a really decent place to cold approach, and to play cards too.

@Something Funny I don't know, maybe they drink because they have numerous pains and sufferings they need to numb themselves with. Maybe the loss of inhibition makes one more courageous than normal. Maybe the person loves the rum, or red wine, and it's related to a celebration, a celebration of something like a big accomplishment or a birthday, or maybe the alcohol is needed to lick one's wounds. Many motivations for many behaviors, like drinking, lower to higher forms of motives. I didn't mean to offend or assume, but it was unavoidable. However, be responsible whether to drink or not to. As long as one is aware that it is not motivated out of fear, that's all.

@Jon_Bundesen It depends on What stage of values a person has both personal and cultural, the cognitive and moral development, personality type, state of being and emotional states, as well as general and specific life experiences and lines of development contextual to the hobby/hobbies/interests you have, plus the ego developmental stage you are at. A person who has more stage blue/red values, who's cognition is mainly visual and kinesthetic, who has lower circle of concern/lower levels of morality and lower levels of empathy, whose states of being and roles one becomes and identifies with, a more extroverted personality, an ego structure that is like the opportunist or the impulsive, life experiences are such, that that person will like and love to do martial arts and boxing as a hobby or even might pursue as a career, compared and contrasted to somebody whose of a different stage, cognition, morality, state of consciousness, personality and differing life experiences, boxing relatively will not appeal to such a person. The same person might love to do paintings or drawings, but the former person who loves boxing might not appreciate paintings or drawings, both people having different views of the hobbies mentioned. Focus on what value you want to provide, the kind of impact and contribution, ideally as a creator, first. This should be top priority and eclipse putting masters on a pedestal thing you are doing, and explore other ways of generating motivation in you and doing subconscious training.

@Emrie HOW??? I understand if it's trauma related, but please some people don't view it like you do, and assuming they get it when they don't makes you look crazy to them.

@itachi uchiha @Arcangelo What would a healthy feminism look like to you?

@Carl-Richard Ah, I knew there was more to Nahm's ban. I thought it was mostly Nahm talking in riddles and that viewed as retaliatory.

@LSD-Rumi I refuse to believe he was one of the traitors. I think it's like with Anana, a previous mod, who decided to reaign as a mod.

@thisintegrated There's an audio version of it in the internet, you'll find it eventually don't worry.

@Carl-Richard Really, what happened??? One minute Tim R is a mod, the next he isn't.
