what an absolutely annoying and inappropriate topic for a gaming site.
it's so frustrating to me how the LGBT community bang their
drums for equality and recognition while at the same time
constantly demanding preferential treatment.

if someone decides to cosmetically change their gender, that doesn't negate the natural fact of whether they're male or female.
why on earth should a site devoted to video games feel compelled to accommodate an individuals sexual preference or gender identification in that individual's profile?
there are plenty of other sites online devoted to those specifics.
this site is about pc's, consoles, and gaming.
the OP should be ashamed of himself for posting such a self-serving, obtrusive thread.

I see nothing wrong with a person identifying themselves with the opposite gender,
but this is entirely the wrong site to get vocal about it.

also, if a person needs or wants to change their gender identity, there is a myriad of things that need to change along with that decision; clothes, name, personal relations.... etc.. in other words, they become a new person.
so how about just making a new profile. seems fitting doesn't it?
what a simple solution for a non-problem.


No one is demanding anything besides equal rights. Basic human rights to be specific.


Being able to change your profile gender has what exactly to do with human rights or equal rights?

Site owner also has a right to have his site function however he so chooses or a right to choose whether or not to waste his time implimenting something that could be easily rectified with a new account creation. Why not respect that?


I was talking about human rights in general and not about some cosmetic changes in here.

To answer your question, its the right to label yourself as the gender you are and im not talking about your born one. Society only accept the two main ones and its not right to force a transgender person in to the female category if this person dont feel like it. There is a big difference between being a born female and a transgendered person and we have a prime example in here when people talk about stuff they dont know shit about. Not every transgender has the wish to become a full woman and sadly there is no third gender for now which is accepted by society and its easy to say for bystanders "Why do you people demand extra rights or why dont you just accept the fact that you will never be this or that gender".. its the basic human rights that a lot of you "heterosexual" people take for granted which we have to fight for. So please dont say we demand something extra when you people dont have to deal with this bullshit every day and surely not only on the internet.

Oh I feel ashamed now for suggesting the option to switch genders in the profile settings...lol

This thread is a horrible one to read.

We all have our opinions on gender and sex, but to outright insult peoples mental health because they have different feelings or opinions regarding it is simply wrong.

I just hope Brett sees this thread sooner rather than later.

Apologies then as I was under the assumption you were referring to the the OP's request for gender changing in VGC profiles.

 

As for the rest of your post, I fully understand your stance. I grew up with with a brother for the first 21 years of my life who then told us all that he was transgender, although we always knew. Growing up I would always walk into my bedroom (that we shared) to find him wearing my sister's clothing.

Not sure how he is doing now though as he kind of cut himself off from the rest of the family after we helped him transition through it all and found him a nice place to live that has a strong LGBT community. Kind of feels like a kick in the nuts to be honest. He ditched a supportive family for the LGBT groups that I saw him on the news rallying with.

what does your post have to do with gaming?

why do you feel it necessary to to contribute such a post to a 'gaming' website?

now, I don't know it your OP was an honest thread or not, but if it is and you were born a man, then you're a man... regardless of your personal feelings, attitudes, or desires.

VGchartz does a basic service in letting you state your gender in your profile, they are not obligated to accomadate your changing moods, this isn't a site devoted to personal sentiment within the context of sexual preference or gender identity. Like I said, there are plenty of other sites for that.

Again, if you feel the need to change who you are, then simply make a new account reflecting that.

You want equality, then stop throwing your stuff in other people's business. When's the last time you heard, saw, or read about a heterosexual demanding he or she be accepted as a heterosexual?

You haven't.

You want to know why?

..... because they are comfortable and accepting of who they are. If you're truly transgendered, then maybe you should act the same way and stop demanding people pay attention to you.

Yeah, as ka-pi said, you don't really know?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, or whatever, but this is still pretty funny

Also, yeah it's pretty saddening that some people are insulting trandgender people because of their lifestyle choice. It's their choice and their's alone. I'm sure the last thing people need is comments like the ones seen here. That's my opinion of things anyway.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Far as I know this site is no longer in any real active development. Absolutely the gender field should have the transgender options added.

edit: You should be able to change the gender field after creating your account. For all those who say just create a new account. I identify as dharh. I would never create a new account. If this account ever got banned, I would likely never ever come back to the site. It's just the way it is.
