Then don't lump them together.
Address specifically who and for what instead.


You made an assumption... Right now, you're the ass.



It's not incorrect.



Yes, they do.

You want to support the "sex isn't gender" stance, then you have to stand by the fact that man and woman are not just gender terms but terms to identify an individuals sex as well.
You can't have it both ways.


Here, you've just done what you were speaking out against. You address her as a woman, and saying that her gender is female.
DD69-1 said she's a man, others have said that's wrong because of gender identity issues, including yourself, and now you're using the terms woman and female interchangably for gender and sex.





Mmmmmm... Buttery, salty goodness.:love:

I understand we're in a quandary because we have no way to "authenticate" a trans person's gender (not "sex"); we're stuck between judging their anatomy/genes, or taking them at their word. If we reject their word, we're sort of saying that being trans isn't "real". I think most people today have accepted homosexuality as "real", despite its contradiction to obvious biological design, it shouldn't be hard to recognize trans people have the same validity. It's about empathy; get to know a trans person and your views may evolve.

Maybe one day the technology will exist to "prove" that trans people are the gender they say that they are. And eventually, probably many years from now, people will look back at today's simplistic understanding of gender they same way we look back at phrenology, i.e. someone's identity and personality are not necessarily linked to their biological structures.

Now I'm wondering if there's a correlation between Power Vacuum players who still view Drew as a villain, and those who consider her to still be a man. :unsure:

You left out the third group - Those who are aware of her being born a man and became a trans-woman, and address her with female pronouns.
See, that's where there's actual nuance - the categorisations of people's views and opinions of Drew, and trans-women/trans-men and how they treat them, which also gets even more nuanced in and of itself with the latter.
;)

As for her being a villain... She seems more like an unwitting tool for Hunter's use in order to bed the women and sidetrack/distract Sterling. At least as far as the canon storyline goes.

Okay, I'll make this as simplistic as possible to avoid any confusion.

First some terminology and facts:
Drew is a trans woman.
She is a pronoun which refers to someone identified, either by themselves or others, as a woman.
She is also a noun referring to a female or woman.
Drew can be shown directly introducing herself as a woman.
Therefore, calling Drew anything other than she is wrong.

Gender is simply separate from sex assigned at birth.
Are some terms interchangeable? Yes. That does not change the fact that if someone identifies as a particular gender, and you choose to use pronouns in contradiction to that gender, you are incorrect; regardless of what their sex assigned at birth might be.
I support the sex isn't gender "stance" because they are fundamentally different. Both in definition and classification.
If that's still unclear, then I'm not sure what else I can say to make it more understandable.

No, I'll make it simple for you. Just stop.
I've had enough of your disingenuous insinuations. This is the last time I'll ever respond to you, or even see a single thing you post that replies to or quotes a post of mine. Feel free to shout into the void, it won't have a contrary statement to reply to you.

dude, all this is ridiculous, people in general just dont want to recognize that they are wrong in whatever thing they believe
someone dm a mod to erase the comments and close the topic

I'm also tired of this discussion, but it was (mostly) relevant to the topic of the game, considering Drew is trans and a major character in the story. Besides, how can people ever "recognize that they are wrong in whatever thing they believe" if those beliefs are never challenged in honest discourse? :WeSmart:

TheJizzler why are you lying in your review? Aside from setting up the story by witnessing the antagonist barely touch ass, there is no NTR scenes if you turn off NTR. Anyone who hates NTR will at least agree with me on this. (the guy simply existing in the house is not NTR if that's why you consider there being constant NTR)

you also say that you have to watch a scene 10 times to get a new scene. Every time you revisit a girl, the scene is new and progress the story. Are you not following the built-in guide on what need to be done? you never have to watch a repeated scenes. You'll give viewers the wrong impression on the game if you lie in your reviews.

it's basic biology... chromosomes and everything, I will refer to Drew as he, you guys can refer to Drew as you want (y)
edit: The game just explained Drew's perspective and Hunter's perspective on it as well, when he called Drew out on the pronouns thingy
Click to expand...
Nah she's a female btw the word Futanari is a word to describe a person who born with both reproductive organs so pussy and dick Wich is possible in real life but extremely rare !

So Futa is an girl born with Dick And Pussy , so if Drew was a boy then he had an surgery for having boobs !

What a waste of time this discussion lol, how you refer to a trans person doesn't matter here, it's just a game, and Drew is a female model with an extra, if you want to call her a man or anything else, go ahead but don't complain about how others refer to her.

Based on that logic you can say anything you want that's racist or sexist as long as it's directed to a fictional character

I am curious, when exactly did it become so trendy to hijack the term trans to include practically anything anyone can deem fitting even if it makes absolutely no sense. When i was a lad Trans was a term for transitioning or transitioned people from the one gender to the other. Nowadays? Big swinging dicks and big bushy bearded blokes with ZERO intention to actually even transition (the trans bit and all) can somehow claim they are in fact women. The world has gone mad, i feel for the genuine transitioned out there. Literally no one can even agree on WHAT anything is anymore... any wonder there is endless arguments repeated over and over.

WWG has to take responsibility. He has to let Sterling bang Drew vigorously as a peace offering in the next update (and vice versa - to be inclusive and all that jazz).
