No thanks. May catch a virus. Ever since they started making routers with wifi, putting condoms on them with the wifi antenna in a pain.

Wow, you have eight arms?! Y'know, there's a lot we could... do. Feel like coming over toni... waitaminute. Whaddyou mean you have eight arms!? You are CLEARLY a smurf!! So which is it BLER... if that's even your real name... are you a smurf, or an eight-armed sex machine? How DARE you get me all hot and bothered and lead me on because I fantasized about you when you never even said the slightest sexual thing. The nerve! And a liar to boot!

It's sad how you can't even trust fellow blues online. Makes me blue. Well, bluer. Well, bler... wait, am i Bler?

There are text games that do. They're sex games obviously. Look up Corruption of Champions (fantasy) or Trials in Tainted Space (sci-fi).

That worked back then but kind of hard when it looks like this:

Clearly a human.

Hormones determine the brain development when out of the womb, so there's another cause, obviously. All the evidence i've seen (which is anecdotal, but, then again, so is pretty much everything else regarding this) suggests that this is a result of environmental issues after birth. Science has already confirmed, for example, that single-motherhood leads to low T (although is not the exclusive cause of low T). I've even seen signs of this, myself, but never got tested. And, if i'm such an individual (it's hard to know for sure, since I was raised with joint custody), I can assure you that the signs of depression I have (which have largely developed recently) were also environmental and social, rather than a mismatch with my brain and hormones. Right, and there's alternative methods of doing this, too. Ask any "drag queen" and you'll find men who are great at appearing as women. I've actually seen asian actors who can appear as women even in underwear., which requires very impressive skill. As far as I know, these asians weren't even taking hormone supplements. But, there could have been photoshop, as this was the internet.

Women appearing as men is harder, but i've seen this in person (seems to me that this is far more common in my area among females than males, which doesn't surprise me given the large amount of women here on birth control and who naturally have PCOS). There seems to be one attribute they have a hard time hiding, but since they're trying to appear masculine more than male (they are usually bi or lesbian), i don't really think they had any inclination to hide that attribute. I am incredibly curious how one would manage to pull that off, though.

There isn't just one cause of depression, and your depression might be a combination of factors.

There are medicines that can treat depression, but it turns out that the medicines needed are different for each person; what works for one person might not work (or even be harmful) for another.
You'd be surprised at how powerful hormones are. A person who is assigned female at birth, but who takes testosterone, will indeed develop male characteristics, including facial hair and a deep voice. Of course, genetics still plays a role in terms of things like how much facial hair he* develops.

* Using a male pronoun here because such a person is most likely a transgender man, and would likely go by male pronouns.

Correct, which is why i don't present it as fact. I have other very obvious symptoms of low T, as well, so i do present it as ignoring the correlation would be irresponsible, even if correlation does not imply causation. It is most definitely worth mentioning. I'm well aware of the effects, as i've seen them first hand, without supplements involved. That said, hormones do not account for all cases of appearing as a different gender. Some people, frankly, are incredibly skilled at it, which is particularly useful for females who wish to attract other females. I've noticed that the attribute that is hard for females to hide tends to be attractive to other females as well. I'm still trying to figure out why this is so, but the only logical explanation i've found so far is this theory that the majority of women are indeed bisexual (i have both a nature and a nurture explanation in development [and both are compatible with both young and old earth viewpoints, which should be enough to make anyone interested], however I'm not willing to talk about this openly on the forums, since it would explode really quickly), despite themselves thinking otherwise. This is backed up by some loose science that is hotly debated, but further studies don't seem to be happening (from my experience, this is a huge indicator that everyone knows the data would be unpopular).

I would have to disagree, respectful-like and all - I just don't think that's the right application of the term/concept of 'uncanny valley' esp. given that other populations would not have the same reaction you describe, and you aren't having the same reaction to other characters where you are not viewing them as being across gender.

Likewise, you presumably don't have that reaction when playing a game like perhaps LA Noire, where you're playing a real human, on earth, in a more or less real-to-life set of challenges, whether or not you specifically are a cop.

Personally I perceive it as just an unwillingness to relate from years of observation of how people respond to the question.

Something like that.

But women aren't equal to men! We are biologically different. Women can give birth, for instance.
Even within the same gender people are different. Forcing equal treatment of everyone to me means either levelling down (e.g. "carry your own wheelchair up the stairs") or an unjustifiable waste of resources (e.g. men having maternity leaves and going to the gynaecologist).

I see gender discrimination as part of the broader problem of lack of empathy, respect and consideration for other people.

different doesn't mean unequal

That is a lot of philosophy in a very short sentence, tinyE.

I admit that in some contexts those words can have particular nuances in English that I did not take into proper consideration. As the slogan goes: "we are all different but we are all equals".

and some are more equal then others
