@freemo @maze Seems like you need a shield/coat of arms to go in front of it now. Next it will be a suit of armor in this corner to really balance the feng shui; then a period accurate trebuchet in the lounge to "keep employees in line"...

This sort of slippery slope is what we get for starting the accumulation of medieval weaponry as a means of decorations, freemo! I hope you reflect on this and learn your lesson while basking in the envious tears of...well at least me, and probably some others on here who like sharp, shiny things 😂

@richmartingale Hey, great to have you. drop me a line if you ever need anything or just want to chat.

A lexicon module I wrote in Ruby that goes into rather excessive detail at defining every possible form of pronoun. Who knew there was so much complexity in pronounds.

@PawelK Yes secondary/tertiary sex traits are the name given to certain manifestations of gender. Yes it is easy to change your gender.

You are correct that sex can not be changed, but as we covered gender can. Its important to note that language does, and always has, used gender for pronouns and not sex.

@saxnot I've been around, just posting volume was down while I was int he maldives diving.

So just decided to rewrite my MUD :d20: from scratch and write it in Ruby :ruby: with ncurses this time for fun. It will be open-source :opensource:

@saxnot I wrote in ruby a insanely complete lexicographic module that handles defining custom pronouns among other things... let me see if i can find it

I casually mentioned to someone at work, jokingly, that I needed a sword for the wall on my office back when it was new... few days later he brings me a sword as a gift :) I am still amused.

@PawelK There is correlation yes, but outliers are fairly common considering the breadth of gender, and especially considering that ones gender (outward appearance of masculinity/femininity) can be intentionally changed. If a man gets a sex change he has changed a large portion of his attributes that determine gender, and thus has changed his gender. Women who look masculine have a male gender.

@PawelK Well its not that its a "hint" to sex, it may provide that function. But rather its part and sometimes contrary to the genetics. A person can have male gender (appear outwardly male) yet have female sex, and vice versa. Sometimes this occurs naturally, and in humans sometimes it is dont by choice.
