Look, I get that people want to hide their gender and whatnot like Multipas said, And I fully respect that dont get me wrong. But have you seen men (This is mostly a man issue, sometimes women but far more rarely than men) where men look like females in graal? Literally go to the school and you'll find a crap ton, Idk why this is a thing. Or how, but it's frustrating, I know this guy Tameki who looks like a woman, And finding out it was a man was confusing and also made him p*ssed off. And i see more like this every day it seems,

What do I call them if i don't know if they are a man or a female when introducing friends to them? "hey this is my friend he is named blabla" then if it's a woman, I look like a douchebag, if i say SHE and it's a man, I'm still a douchebag, If I take the more offensive route and say IT, Then I'm more of a douchebag. The line of identifying a woman and a man in graal is getting ridiculously thin

I don't see what the point is considering you can just put it in your status.

Most I’d support is an option to hide your gender

not sure if you guys already knew but this is an option already, it's a simple and logical solution to the problem of this thread

someguy- using'they' with people you dont know is accepted by many
but who knows idk u

fox- ty for making me aware of the hide gender option
but i wish not to be invisible...or i guess a blurry spot on my profile?

like gender dysphoria took root in the two gender system because the two gender kinda way is not truelly substantial to the human psyche...

can anyone of the admins tell me why they wouldnt add an 'enter gender' text box

also who has made an account recently?
do they make you choose gender immediately??
or just start you off default male?


in a couple months im making a
"why is being male or female so relevant to graal?" thread

What’s the point there’s only 2 genders

The real question is why shouldn't there be an 'other' gender option?

Even if you don't accept that some individuals experience a non-binary gender, why would we want to prevent them from being/expressing themselves?

oh boy

"other" gender
 
I don’t think a text box would be a good thing, it would be another extra thing for the staff to keep a lookout for. People are obviously gonna put inappropriate stuff in there, and either way, if you are thinking about putting what you identify as, they probably couldn’t tell if you are serious about identifying as an attack helicopter or not.

If you choose 'other' as gender, I can safely assume you have a mental disorder.

Only two genders, you ****s. What is so difficult to understand about that?

This isn't about expression, no one gives a flying f**k what you think you are because it doesn't exist in your weak, confused mind. If you think people are just going to cater to your wants because you're offended like the snowflake f*g that you are then you're sorely mistaken.

I don’t need to know what your gender is, or if you married your toaster in this shocking shower ceremony

Gaming does not have a gender or intelligence requirement, it’s purely for fun and entertainment

The battle for civil rights is a worthy fight, but this isn’t a good battleground

As a member of (LGBTQ plus) I support it. Talking to a lot of these kids, Graal is their only safe-space and place where they aren’t afraid to be themselves even if we all think it’s weird. I personally believe there is only one gender Male (females are basically irrelevant), but I also don’t mind if someone on Graal wants to set their gender as something they came up with after face smashing their keyboard, as for young children and teenagers it’s important they have a space where they can be them selves and not be afraid. I wrote this somewhat jokingly but I actually do support it, I met someone on Graal a few years ago in this situation and they talked about how much they liked Graal because of the fact they didn’t have to hide who they thought they were because Graal is like a second-identity.

I understand a fair amount of people think it’s weird (I do) but these people already have their minds set so there’s no harm in adding an “other” option IMO, I mean it’s not like gender on Graal even means anything to the normal person so there’s no reason to be bothered by it

If you guys really do get this triggered over it then you should support it so you’ll know who to block

Just write what your gender is on your status, since theres a reason why we have it in the game, case closed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
