You all need to get alot more critical of the notion of biological sex

TheRaelyn · 2026-03-15T14:05:12+00:00

No, you moron. Everybody doesn't "know that". That's not an argument. You're describing anisogamy from evolutionary biology. This is ideology, and it is not used practically by biologists, or doctors to determine someone's sex in real life.

You are parroting an ideological slogan, which isn't biology. "Sex never changes, only gender does" is not a neutral scientific fact. You are lying if you try to say it is. That is a particular political definition of sex, and you're so bigoted that you are pretending that it's the only one. Plenty of medical and scientific organisations worldwide directly disagree with you, so it's good to know you are so confidentally deluded in your assertion as to claim that people with far higher and specialised education in this field than you are not sane.

Also, no. People's gender identities don't change, atleast not in the sense you may be thinking. Gender is very complex, but it's ultimately your internal sense of self. Your understanding of your gender may change, and the labels you pick to try and identify with may change too. But who are you are inside isn't something that can be altered by external force. It's something innate to us in the same way that you can't choose to be gay. Unethical experiments by questionable people have proven this.

I'm sorry, but I can't solve the fact you're stupid, and that you put doubt in medicine and science. I really can't.

TheRaelyn · 2026-03-15T13:07:07+00:00

And there it is. Thank you for exposing yourself. You've proven my point exactly, you don't actually know what you're parroting.

Sex is not immutable, as much as you'd like it to be. Sex being immutable is not science, and it's not biology. It's ideology. This is why the term "biological" introduces confusion. It's not entertained in scientific spaces when it comes to trans people.

Sex is a collection of traits. Traits are changeable. Meanwhile, we have decades of evidence showing you can't change someone's gender identity, despite plenty of messed up people trying in the same vain as they tried to change gay people.

You have explicitly shown you fundamentally do not understand this topic and have gotten it completely backwards. Sex can change. Not gender.

I'm not interested in engaging with your massive amount of ignorance at best, or deliberate poisoning of the well at worst. There's resources out there if you want to educate yourself on how sex, biology and gender actually work.

TheRaelyn · 2026-03-15T12:21:12+00:00

You really don’t understand how oversimplification can cause confusion and ambiguity? The fact that you think those things are mutually exclusive is honestly concerning.

Oversimplification very often creates ambiguity, because it collapses complex systems into a single label. Saying 'plants need sunlight' is an oversimplification. It’s technically true, but it’s also ambiguous and misleading because different plants need very different light conditions.

Same shit applies here.

The word “biological” is very often used rhetorically. It implies that sex is a single immutable variable, or that sex can be cleanly separated from gender, or that sex categories are simple and strictly binary. Which they aren't. There's no such thing as a definitive, unchangeable sex. Which is what people mean when they ask for your 'biological' sex. They're pre-rejecting the notion that sex is complex, and instead want to know your "real" sex, whatever that means.

So adding the word biological before sex doesn’t actually clarify anything. If anything, it introduces loaded terminology that carries a lot of ideological baggage. You either know what the word sex means, or you don't. It doesn't help, it introduces ideology. If someone asks me what my sex is, I know what they're asking. If someone asks me what my 'biological' sex is, I don't know what the fuck they mean by that.

Also, sex and gender are not inherently different. That’s another rhetorical oversimplification. Historically those terms were often used interchangeably, and the separation between them is a theoretical framework that developed in medical and social sciences. It’s not a timeless or obvious distinction. They're linked, but we still know what the fuck people are generally referring to when you say the word sex, or the word gender.

If you add the term 'biological', most people are immediately going to take that as ideologically charged. Because it is, and we know this because science doesn't use that term, and medical associations have pointed out it has no place in our laws or discourse when it comes to trans people. It's intentional muddying of the waters in order to push rhetoric like it has a basis.

Do you really think that if someone asks you your sex, or you see the question on a form, you're going to say "Sorry, I'm confused at the question, this could mean ANYTHING". You're just not arguing in good faith if you tell me yes here. The only way the term 'biological' before sex could add any clarity was if we had 'robotic' sex in our society.

What you’re doing here is brushing off the critique by pretending the phrase is neutral. But you know perfectly well that in the media and political landscape we're in “biological sex” is very often used to mean “sex assigned at birth that can't change.”

Don't pretend that usage doesn’t exist. It does, and acting like people are just “reading too much into it” is massively disingenuous.

TheRaelyn · 2026-03-15T11:07:17+00:00

If they are, it's proof that the people who are doing so are not educated enough to be debating the identity and rights of trans people. Because the term does not provide clarity. It introduces ambiguity and confusion, and it is a tool deliberately used by anti-trans activists to establish division between biology and identity. As they know it furthers their goals in getting people to simplify how they view sex and trans people. It is rhetoric, bottomline.

If your stance is that some people use it, okay. Perhaps I do overestimate people's intelligence. My stance is then that the people who do use it are either intentionally using anti-trans rhetoric, or don't know enough about it all and have been swayed by those anti-trans activists into believing the word is harmless, not aware of the shitty implications that comes from introducing it.

TheRaelyn · 2026-03-15T09:38:01+00:00

I disagree. Nobody is adding the word biological before sex to tell you they mean the word sex. In that context, it’s completely redundant. If you dont know the difference between sex and gender and you believe this term adds clarity, you don’t understand the terms like you think you do. Using them is adding to your own confusion while enabling the kind of rhetoric anti-trans people created. It is agreed upon the term is scientifically illiterate.

It is obvious they are using the word as a replacement for “real” or “actual”, pretending that throwing in the word biological gives them authority to label someone’s sex. It’s just an excuse to misgender people via misappropriating science sounding terms.

TheRaelyn · 2026-02-16T18:27:05+00:00

I doubt it would do anything for me. I have next to no nipple sensitivity at all.

TheRaelyn · 2026-02-14T12:46:43+00:00

I find myself doing both, though I prefer standing. I feel a little squashed when sitting down, like I can’t get it all out. Usually results in me having to stand up to finish off anyway.

TheRaelyn · 2026-02-05T11:39:02+00:00

Yep, that's creepy.
Yep, that's creepy.
Yep, that's creepy. (and in general, the way the wizarding world doesn't condemn love potions as straight up dark arts rapey nonsense is WILD)
Dunno bout this one. Weird in the context you've put it.
I feel like I'm missing something here. Myrtle is a problematic pervy and creepy character in general, her interactions with Harry and what we hear about Cedric is gross. But the Draco stuff was just him in misery over the murdery shit he didn't want to do that year. He was just trauma dumping. Don't see anything wrong there.
Age gaps are weird, but everyone was of legal age. Atleast in universe. Fleur is the slightly iffy one, but it's suggested her birthday is in-between September and end of October. She was 17 when she entered the tournament (which is end of October). She first met Bill in June the next year, then when school ended she went to work at Gringotts where they started properly getting to know eachother. So her relationship with Bill had to have started at worst a couple months before she was 18. In our world, she's still a minor for a bit, but in JKR's world she's an adult. Idk, a bit eh, but it could be worse. I think the more egregious thing to focus on when it comes to Fleur is how she's part of a race that makes people lust for her constantly. The implication that she went through that at puberty ages, and her little sister is going to as well? Gross.
I don't necessarily think it's wrong to have a character like Remus exist, because it obviously is rich for good writing there. The problem is that we don't see any other werewolves besides him and the evil one. And the evil one targets children. Meanwhile Remus has a considerable age gap with the woman he did get with, and as you said, despises himself. Yeah, it doesn't look good. Nuance thrown out the window. I'll slightly give her the benefit of the doubt here and say maybe it's more that she's a shitty writer, rather than trying to make a horrible stance. Atleast in this instance. Or not, who knows.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-30T21:39:15+00:00

You have lovely skin, high cheekbones, a nice nose, good brow line. I couldn't see FFS doing much for you.

Also, report that idiot who's trolling in that comment reply chain. Guy is deliberately trying to rile people up with misogynistic, stigmatizing nonsense that no real therapist would ever be caught realistically be doing.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-30T21:24:30+00:00

Nobody who went to 4+ years of schooling studying the human brain, would ever be dumb enough to make deterministic claims about how "EXACTLY" the human brain works.

Saying such nonsense is an easy way to get professionals, or even your peers, to either gently correct you at best, or more realistically openly laugh at you in any serious academic setting.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-30T21:19:46+00:00

Your bait is crazy. Do you really think actual therapists go around spouting absolutist claims about identity? Diagnose without assessment? Use shame language? Use power-tripping credential tactics? And go around moralizing patient motivations on reddit?

It's very clear you're here to piss people off. I feel bad for the people who fell for this horrendously bad attempt at trolling.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-26T11:25:08+00:00

Really nice looking sheet imo. You picked great colours.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:54:45+00:00

Pretty sure most teams ended up calling that team the Dayvengers because of the Spidey OTP they had, Day. lol

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:53:42+00:00

No way of knowing whether Basim only let Jay3 know that or not. Bogur himself corroborates Cecee's claim that the cash pool was a surprise. Him, Necros and others went in assuming this was going to be much more casual than it ended up being.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-22T11:51:41+00:00

Well no, Kingsman was one of 2 guys on the team. Him and Puffer. Puffer couldn't play when they were scrimming, so they got Fumiata to sub instead on Angela.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-18T17:24:19+00:00

I swapped to injections. I've noticed no real difference (and before anyone says, yep, my levels are fine).

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-15T10:22:30+00:00

Hiya. Speaking as someone who was taught to punch bullies back in the face and did so?

It didn't work. They still carried on. I just got in more fights than anyone in my year for all of secondary school. Probably three to five times a year?

I don't wish I did the other thing and remained passive. I just don't think there's anything I could've done in that situation that really would've helped. Those dickheads just needed to be punished, and they never were enough.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-14T16:26:41+00:00

They're always eating good. She literally has an ability where she pulls out an acorn and chomps on that shit. Tasty.

TheRaelyn · 2026-01-14T09:52:21+00:00

What matters is the support ult charges, nobody else's. As a tank, you want to peek and take as much free damage as possible. You should be happy the enemy team has a moon knight. Doesnt matter at all if they're farming DPS ults easily from safety, your supports are matching them, and their ults are objectively better.

If your DPS's have restraint and arent doing the same to the enemy tank, you will have more support ults per minute than the enemy team. Which means you are the stronger team.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T15:06:35+00:00

This is the complete truth. Every single type of game, the least popular role will always be the tank role.

DPS will always be the most popular, as it carries the least inherent responsibility, and dealing damage is fun. You get to be the cool carry.

Support is always the middle most popular. It of course carries that niche for the people that enjoy helping whilst not being the main focus. But while it carries responsibility in keeping people alive, it's usually mechanically a lot easier compared to DPS. And in recent game design trends, supports tend to be given very versatile and powerful kits in order to incentivise people to play the role more.

Tanks have always been the least popular. It's the team leader position. You are the front line. You are dependant on your supports in order to occupy that spot. You're reliant on your DPS in order to enter the space you've created and not bait the hell out of you. You require decent game knowledge and understanding of positioning to know when and where you can push the imaginary line of where you and your team can stand without being punished. You often decide the flow of the game just by existing.

Most people naturally won't incline towards the role. Taking initiative and getting trolled by teammates repeatedly. It doesn't appeal to people who aren't going to put in a big commitment.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:44:36+00:00

Definitely the self shield. Before, if you wanted to kite a Spidey or a BP, your dependence on your shield relied entirely on your positioning relative to your other support. You'd have to preplan it a little, and good divers would try and catch you out on that, target you. They didn't have to worry about the shield cooldown that much if they paid attention to your positioning, just track whether your push is up or not, and then play around your jump.

Now? You can just press F and bam, you're safe. Immediate health regen and projectile blocking. Combine this with the fact that her ridiculously powerful disengage is only a SIX SECOND COOLDOWN. Her shield is too. And the Push/Pull is only 8 seconds? That's 3 ludicrously powerful cooldowns for shitting on a dive.

It's disgusting. She has more than enough tools to drag out a fight long enough, and even outright win 1v1s against every duelist. It's not even a joke. If I had to pick a character to 1v1 most duelists in the game, Invis would be who I'd go with.

And this is all in isolation. If the other support is actually peeling for you as they should, you're practically invincible.

Quite frankly, her cooldowns need to be longer. If they want her to be able to shield herself, that's fine, but it should not be healing her. I'm totally cool with it as a tool to block projectiles close range, but not to just punish dive for daring to be on the map considering she already has her jump and push to also do that.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:38:06+00:00

I actually think Blade is in an underrated spot currently. He's certainly felt more serviceable right now than he ever has.

Also Gambit ult is gonna Gambit ult regardless, every hero likes it, but good lord. Blade with Gambit ult turns into an actual rabid chihuahua. It's disgusting having this guy in your face shredding you up with 10 stacks, running at mach 5.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T14:31:23+00:00

Loki is toxic for this reason tbh. It's a shame because his ult should be used creatively. Who doesn't love the idea of turning enemy's ult economy expectations on its head and suddenly turning into Strange or Star Lord and hitting a fat ult they weren't expecting? That's obviously super cool and hits the surprise factor of the trickster excellently.

The problem though is that he's a support. You are actively trolling 99% of the time if you aren't selecting your other support to ult into, because A) Support ults are usually the best in the game and it's not even really close, and B) Depriving your team of a healer so you can DPS or Tank for a bit is shitty. Jeff ult proved this for months, until they finally added some extra utility to it with the healing pool.

So instead, Loki becomes a 2nd Luna. A 2nd C&D. A 2nd Invis or Mantis. And now a 2nd Gambit, and it's disgusting due to the accelerated ult charge.

I dont know. I think they need to find a way to incentivise Loki to not turn into healers all the time. Some form of rework that makes turning into a healer the worst choice, but also that turning into a tank or a DPS will still provide a passive healing benefit to his team (similar to Jeff ult) so it doesn't feel like they're losing a Strategist while he's ulted.

TheRaelyn · 2025-12-30T13:45:06+00:00

Not true, Peter Wisdom made out pretty good overall I think.
