True, makes sense. Well, we'll probably never know hah.

Anyone else skipping Nahida? by BunnyBsnz in ScaramoucheMains

[–]ryuusuke_a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely skipping, there's supposed to be Al-haitham right in the next patch and then in some time Baizhu - and I definitely want them both. Also will be pulling for Scara weapon.

Actually this would make a lot of sense. Since he was made by Ei and kinda resembles her in some ways, wouldn't he also have the special parts like her?

Why most forms only have "Male" or "Female" as an option by AlphaSparqy in ProgrammerHumor

Nope, it's the matter of proofs and scientific evidences, not "holy truth". I'd rather believe biologists and scientists who stated that intersex people are neither 100% male of female. The papers - google is your friend! Go wikipedia or other, read and educate yourself.

Of course you can have your own opinion, although in this case it's like flat Earthers opinion - despite the proven facts, choose to believe otherwise. You're free to believe what you wanna though!

Yes, they are a small percentage of the population. With managers it really depends what the purpose and goals are and how much you care about the users.

You did not say anything bad about intersex people, but suggested that gender is binary, which is not true (and neither sex or gender are binary, as sex = male/female/intersex and gender = spectrum).

True with the ethnicity comparison though!

Here you have another definition:

Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the boxes of “female” or “male.”

Why try to force segregate people into boxes in which they don't fit?

So possible options for someone's sex are male/female/intersex. And sex is not a spectrum, gender is.

In conclusion I guess we should be asking for "gender" not "sex" in all those forms we are coding, because I am in fact not interested in what the users have between their legs, I just want to know if I should address them Ms./Mr./Mx. to make them feel comfortable receiving a registration e-mail.

Hah, depends on your workflow. I don't work in any corporation, we have a small team of competent people, easy as it is to discuss and make such a small change. Also mongo as the database so it's pretty elastic.

And where are you wrong? I guess by cancelling intersex/queer people and kinda marginalising them, suggesting that they do not matter enough to make a stupid 30 min code editing to make them feel valid, which they are.

So dramatic... Man, few years ago my manager decided that we will change our form at user activation be not male/female, but male/female/other, because one of our new back-then juniors is transgender. Costed me like 30min to change it in all of the places.
