I don't get the whole "acting like a boy" or "acting like a girl" thing. That's stereotyping. Not all girls are all make-up and skirts and rubbish, and not all boys are football and gaming. It's a stereotype implied that is almost (?) forcing the people of that gender to act like that? It's like when you're born, a girl is always pink cards, a boy blue. That's really stereotypical.

It's not "boy and girl" as what you thing. It's what you look like, which everyone knows "isn't what you are inside". Hormones can put people forward to act differently depending on your gender, which is uncontrollable. Yet, it is perfectly fine for a boy to like what a stereotype girl likes, and vice versa. A boy pretending to be a girl online is very self-dismissive as they're basically showing that they can't be themselves as a male. A girl being a boy for a laugh with her friends isn't wrong, not exactly, unless if it involves others in a way they don't find funny.

Physically, you are as you were born, and that will never change, you either have XX chromosomes or XY chromosomes. The only exception to this is someone with XXY chromosomes. Mentally however, we are not bound by genders. We are defined by our personalities, not our genetics.


There are a ton of different ways to identify as one gender or the other.
Firstly, there is your physical gender. She is physically a girl because she has breasts. He is physically a boy because he has a p****. That's one way.
Another way is chromosomes, as Jazzy stated. It is possible to have XX chromosomes and physically be a boy. There are crossovers.
Studies show that a male's brains are 10% larger than female's. But some physical females actually have the larger brain as such in a male, which is another way to identify gender.
Then, in my opinion, the most important is what the person identifies themself as. It is possible to identify as both. One day, they may be feeling more like a female, or the next day they feel more masculine and therefore identify as a boy.
I believe its been proven that there are 5 scientific ways to identify gender and no one person ever fits all five as female or all five as male.

ChellizardYou will choose one character and draw them how you like. This means any style, clothes, etc; so long as they are recognizable in appearance. You will be graded in five categories by a panel of judges, including myself.


Any style, correct?

For anyone looking for programming tutorials for learning ANY of the languages, please refer to this website created by the man the created the internet itself. One of the professors at the University of Indianapolis that teaches Intro to Programming and Programming Languages referred me to this website and I have learned HTML and CSS++ from it fairly well. It doesn't provide any videos though.

This is moving close to the whole trans/cis/genderqueer topic (if you dont know the differences, please read this) and whatnot. People need to respect others opinions of themselves. You cannot make someone be something they themselves are not. If someone is acting like a girl online for the right reasons, obviously not what you said as trying to get people to give them things, but because they actually believe themselves to be a girl, how would you even know?

When I am online gaming and I come across a woman character, I automatically assume they are female. I will call them a 'her' or 'she' unless they specifically state the opposite. Same as if they are playing a male character. I myself mostly choose to play as a male character even though I am female because some games offer different upgrades or advantages to being male (which isn't fair sometimes, but in the world we live in ).

If someone wishes to be called a female even though they have a male body or if they want to be called a male if they have a female body, you should respect that whether it be in the real world or online.
