Re: Comic for March 18th, 2017

So the implication thus far has been that Lynn is always sneaking around and keeping an eye on every one and every thing. I would find it hard to believe that he didn't know about this AND the subsequent bathing. And at the time he wouldn't have cared because he wouldn't have known about... what was...

Re: Natani's Gender Pronoun

Personally, I could definately see her female portion being present, if only in a minor amount. It seems logical to me that, as long as any of the original soul is still present, it would attempt to recover and rebuild as much as possible. That said, I bet that with Zen's male portion gone, growth ...

Re: The most recent page when you first read Twokinds

I remember very clearly that this was the last page when I first read through... I read it at the recommendation of a friend, who said that I was finally old enough to read it (I had just turned thirteen). I don't remember liking it very much then though. I kept reading for a little while and then k...

Re: Comic for Wednesday, February 11, 2015

I dunno, given the way he said "Without his aid, I'm not much of a fighter. My viciousness comes from his side of the link..." implies to me that it's something that's actively shared, rather than an innate trait due to the soul merge. Natani's fighting prowess since joining the group has...

Re: As a trans man, Natani is a very important character to

I identify fully as male because I was born one, always have, and always will, but if some magic spell or curse card from Munchkin or whatever changed my body into a female one, then I would identify as female even if it didn't change anything about my subjective identity. For me, my gender is just...

Re: As a trans man, Natani is a very important character to

I'd add that there's nothing in Natani's history that we've seen where she rejects her femininity and wants to be thought of as a male until the instant she realizes that the only way she can stay with Zen is to cut her hair short and pass herself off as male I would like to add that that was the o...

Re: Comic for Wednesday, February 11, 2015

My impression has long been that Tom's writing for Natani as "a fairly well-written transgender character" is largely by accident, and now that the pressure is on from the fandom to write Natani that way on purpose, Tom will choose to get himself out of that situation. Writing -- even pro...

Re: Comic for Wednesday, February 11, 2015

I mean... there is the possibility that the link is just kinda... temporarily disabled, not destroyed. It could be that taking the shackle off will have Natani back up in proper working order so it'll just be an issue of getting it off. We don't know enough details about the original spell. For fact...

Nora? No, I doubt it. We have no reason to doubt that she's going to be asleep for a while. I can't be bothered to find the exact page right now, but remember that there's a guy who can transform into (/control? idk) a horse, who told the templar not to worry about them. It seems logical the reason ...

Re: Isn't forging Cathleen's papers breaking the law?

In any case, the bottom line for the issue at hand is this: Forging documents is most definitely illegal. Cornelius needed documents forged. Alabaster had the means to do it. Alabaster was pretty much obsessed with Cornelius, like Alaric on Keith levels of obsessed. I dunno, maybe he justified to hi...

Re: Calling Natani a girl?

I have said, and I will continue to say, that transgender reaction to gender roles is a symptom and not a cause. A trans person may (or may not!) take issue with assigned gender roles because they are trans; they are not trans because they take issue with assigned gender roles. In that way, it is di...

Re: Calling Natani a girl?

I made a post like three posts back that addressed yours which you have not yet responded to. But in any case there is more than one scientific voice in that particular article. Like this one for example: Guillamon isn't sure whether the four regions are at all associated with notions of gender, but...

Re: Calling Natani a girl?

Really? If they had any reproductive capacity, the very act of hormone replacement with hormones of the opposite gender combined with so called corrective surgeries would tend to render the persons involved sterile. Right, that's what I was saying (I'm sorry for phrasing it poorly, I will admit tha...

Re: Calling Natani a girl?

No. Remember the adage "don't see the forest for the trees." The cause for psychological associations with gender derives from cultural cues. I am no neurobiologist, nor do I presume to be a psychologist. My area of study is history and liberal arts. I do not argue against a chemical occu...
