Wow, isn't this an interesting thread huh?

Actually it's something I noticed some time ago, and it's a shame for sure. Bigger problems to fix, though.

We probably need a Vampire option at least, because it would appear that some folk are out for blood.

HEURGH

I can't believe this topic has gone as far as it has... I feel like the original poster just wanted to troll us all...

Listen my motto is, since tranny go through a whole process of dressing up, getting surgeries to get fake boobs or ass implants, and putting on make up, they are doing this to look female right? So for all the Trannys who want to be recognized as females or even males, just put what sex details and defines you the most! Last time I CHECKED I DON'T remember "TRANSSEXUAL" being a sex...

Now can we get back to talking about Games on these forums?

I know, it's ridiculous! No option for "dog" either. It's criminal.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Just because they don't have the option to switch doesn't mean that they don't accept transsexuals. It was simply something that wasn't thought about when the site was created.

And this thread was created to get the site admin(s) to consider the option. It's frankly disgusting that the suggestion has been met with such animosity.

And your 'argument' basically boils down to 'shut up and accept it' which is a very crappy one, to say the least

It's better than edging towards a line, which, when crossed, will get you banned for disrespecting other users.

I didnt disrespect that user. You need to work on your special snowflake syndrome. Disagreeing with someone doesnt mean you're being disrespetfull.

This isnt tumblr or neogaf, so you probably wouldnt get bashed on by going aganst the hive mind

Yeah, because this is clearly the most important problem VGChartz has right now.. I don't know why this is problem in the first place... -_-

I was looking through the profile settings page and saw no option to change your (profile) gender.

As an example, let's say I was a biological man who signed up as a confused kid 5 years ago but slowly grew into the idea that I was a woman in a man's body. Naturally I would like to change my VGC gender as well, but as far as I'm aware, VGC does not allow that.

We're already this far into the 21st century. Isn't it time to embrace reality already, VGC?

There is no such thing, biologically speaking, as a "transsexual" or "transgender". You're born either a man or women and no amount of surgery will ever change that. A man can not have working ovaries and a women can not have a pair of working testicals/sperm.

Well, of course transexual and transgender doesn't exist biologically speaking, because those are psychosocial terms. That would be like saying: "there is no such thing as the meaning of a word biologically speaking" which would be true, but that doesn't mean that the meaning of a word, transexuals or transgenders are worthless or should be ignored. However, your argument is flawed when you say that "you're born either a man or women" because you can also be born intersexual (on many degrees actually) with both or ambiguous genitalia, sex can also be ambiguous at the genetic level. While it's true that surgery won't change your genetic sex, gender is independent of genetic or genital sex, so a person CAN be a man or a woman regardless of their genital and/or genital sex. Ovaries and testicles don't define gender, in fact people who have them surgically removed because of medical conditions actually keep their gender and sexual identity, just in case you haven't noticed.
