I think a guy probably made that test. A dumb one. The first part - "woman" - is fine. But why would anyone follow "That woman" with "She is a woman/female"? Her gender is already established. And if I were to say anything, I'd say girl gamer. |

I admit to great confusion and even incomprehension of transgenderism. (Is that a word? Probably not.)
Choosing to live life as a gender that is the opposite of one's genetics seems to fly in the face of self actualization.
As to the blurring and confusion regarding the word "female," the English language does not have a word that means "gender-female-but-biological-male.'
Definitions of female are readily accessible to all, so I won't repeat one here. So, working under the assumption that the OP is a member of the (supposedly) "normal" majority, it is implied that the standard definition of female was used in the title.
Following this, I'm not sure that Noriko Satomi should be dissuaded from posting in this thread. |

Keep in mind though that this forum has rules and policies regarding personal attacks, discrimination and things of that nature. I realize that some people may have been brought up a certain way or live in an area that is behind the times but that is not an excuse to try and repeatedly question somebody regarding their gender. It's something that could get the thread locked. Xenuria Rising |

English is one of those languages that delights in the black and white, binary version of many, many words. Other languages actually do have words related to let's say sexual roles as the person sees themself -- in relation to, or despite, perhaps, their innate "gender".
If you look at other cultures, you can find a greater realm of understanding of the various stages, types of human existence, such as what we, in the modern, western world are just starting to come to understand as "transgender".
If you haven't seen it, the PBS Independant Lens production "Two-Spirits" is extremely interesting.

If B is selected, the respondent is female. If C is selected, the respondent is male. I selected C and am not male. Woman and man are primarily nouns. Male and female are primarily adjectives. That's how I generally use them.
There are political and cultural implications to the words as well, and if I'm speaking specifically about issues of gender and identity, I might omit the word 'female' from use because people, primarily feminists, tend to view it as dehumanizing. But that's an exception based on specific audience. although my eyes were open they might have just as well've been closed

I used to play a game called Dark age of Camelot. Very heavy PvP game
One of the most elite PvP squads was led by a woman. I had the pleasure of running with them until I made some awkward joke in voice chat about our in game characters marrying each other. Then I was never grouped again.
Her name was Echoic and the guild was Bedlam. |

Fair enough. I've been out of school for 13 years and my psychology terminology is rusty. (And no, psychology was not my major.) |

I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of many of the responses to this thread. I knew there must be a good number of girl players, but didn't really know how to go about finding them. Not that I'm plotting some sort of radical feminist movement or something. Thank you to everyone for the helpful information and interesting reads. I wish I could reply more specifically, but work beckons. |

But it's the topic of this thread, dude. I believe Xenuria is one of those attempting to redefine the word "gender" to actually mean "gender role" or "gender identity". The original definition of "gender" meant the same as the noun "sex" and when most people hear the word that's what they think. Often such a discussion becomes hyper-literal, and those with a common understanding of the language are accused (implicitly or explicitly) of intolerance. In truth the language is being deliberately blurred. It is my understanding that Xenuria chooses to identify with the societal gender role typically associated with a woman, while not actually being one genetically. That is a choice. I find the language engineering annoying however. It is often done to seek a confrontation, implicitly assigning roles of victim and offender. That's not a good way to have reasonable discussion about any matter, but, yes, that's just my opinion.
Actually, gender always has and always will be a reference to the psychological or state of being masculine or feminine by nature rather than as defined by physical attributes. Mostly, the difference in a person is governed by hormone levels, but don't let that discourage you.
