196My dad was a man and my mom was a woman so I'm mixed
i got a used copy of Tamagotchi life for the 3ds when I was a kid. The original owner was a girl and there was no way to change your own gender so I was just stuck as a girl. At first I hated it, but then I really enjoyed going over to my virtual friends as 2 girls and wishing we were married...
anyways like 10 years later I am now a woman who likes women. I choose to blame that 8 year old who sold her cartridge to GameStop.
Also there's a homosexuality mod now
edit: the other images are just as hilarious
10/10 comment, far better then the post
not those two dreaded numbers again
In Italy we have a hack ROM called "Pokémon Marron merda" (Pokémon shit-brown) that asks whether you have a dick or a pussy, and if you answer pussy it will reply with "I'm sorry but this game is extremely sexist, so you will now stay stuck in this room with no exit until you reset the game and choose dick"

When in doubt, just pick the cooler sprite
> Picks the sit in front if you even though the train is empty
> Asks your name
> Immediately misgenders you
Hack the game and remove them altogether.
Later games just show you a series of pictures and ask which one you look like.
They'll still choose your gender pronouns based on which picture you choose, though.

Chad saints row : Here, go to the barber and recreate your whole character. you can even be canonically trans.
Girl, always :p
¿Por que no los dos?
Does anybody?
XXY?
XYY?
XXX?
XXYY?
What about them? There are real people with all of those combinations as well.
Except it is? The problem with insisting this is "basic biology" is that it shows how ignorant you are to advanced biology. Quantum physics also "isn't how physics works" if you're limited to a high school level understanding of the subject.

what about xxy? What about people with female sex characteristics but xy chromosomes? This seems stupid.
... That would be sex. Chromosomes are used to identify the sex of an animal. Male and female describe two possible variations of sexes. It's how we know that there's a species of lizard that are all genetically identical females - clones, if you will. Or how we've identified something like 417 different sexes in one mold species based on different chromosome combinations. We don't phenotype babies at birth, usually.
Gender is a societal/cultural concept that has meant many things (sometimes even competing ideas) over the centuries. Historically, they're connected to secondary sex characteristics in humans, but not always. One of the oldest known gods had a priesthood made up exclusively of trans women, for example. Old versions of the Torah use a pronoun specifically for trans men that recognizes them as men trapped in the bodies of women. Many cultures throughout history had 3 or more recognized genders before their culture was supplanted by the fairly recent Christian concept of the gender binary. And even that is hypocritical, as God is nonbinary and says in the Bible that nonbinary people are His favorite as they are the most like to Him.
"Hi there nice to meet you. Would you mind sharing your pronouns so I can address you how you'd like to be preferred?"
Then respect whatever answer you were given and refer to them that way.
It's not hard to support people's identities, it just requires caring enough to respect them. You don't even have to like it yourself. But if it seems really hard to respect a person's identity it's almost certain the problem doesn't lie with them or their identity.
just don't ask for gender? let the player either design a sprite or pick one and pick pronouns or just refer to the player with they/them. Sex is only a fact insofar as the collection of bodily features we commonly refer to as sex exist. the reference to it is still a social choice, and we could've just as easily picked another group of features, or none at all.
"genero" no es "genre" en esto contexto. Debes poner "gender"
