i think at this point you could take a mallet to a keyboard and the resulting acronym would still work.

Or spirituality, but I wouldn't bring it up for that reason, because A) LGBT thread specifically, B) that would result in me having to go back to my fun, as it were.
But I was asking about for people who're into the sexual aspect of it. Interestingly, perhaps, I don't believe I've ever met a 'straight' Fur, whether they were into the sexualised aspect or any other part.
Going back a topic or two, I really wish some scientists would work harder on all this chromosome and starfish stuff or whatever. :smallmad: I'd like to be alive to benefit.
One reason it's so difficult is that you want to be really, really sure that you don't cause cancer. This is still poorly understood and there's probably a reason mammals don't do this kind of stuff. So, don't hold your breath.
I'm not. But it still bothers me. :/
It's somewhat amusing, in a cosmic sense. Many of the so-called "lower lifeforms" can do what we can only wish. There are plenty of fish and amphibians that can change their chromosomes if the situation calls for it, invertebrates and amphibians that can regenerate tissue and even parts of their brain that have been damaged, the generally awesome-but-not-at-all-relevant crocodilians...
But I'm rambling on a somewhat off-topic tangent. As you were.
I don't know about changing chromosomes, but they can certainly switch sex.
They can switch properly and completely.
My feelings are summed up in This.
That doesn't mean they change their chromosomes. Just that they can switch a specific gene on and off.
Actually, our XX/XY sex determination system is more the exception than the rule in the animal kingdom. According to Wikipedia, it is only found in most mammals and - coincidentally - some insects. And while there's some other systems that are similar to ours (XX/X0, ZW/ZZ, the platypus' XXXXXXXXXX/XYXYXYXYXY), in many if not most animal species, sex determination isn't liked to chromosomes at all. So no need for those animals to change their genome in order to switch sex.
I wouldn't go so far to say that Ranma is lucky. He's still an unappreciative bastard about it, though.
Well, I dunno why he didn't just carry a load of hot water around.
If I were him, I'd be carrying cold but hey.
That was a guest strip, thus cruddy art. XD
Oh.
How so?
Hmm, I see where you're coming from... but the whole 'being transgender' is a very large weight on the negative side of the scales.
Awww.

Anyone else heard of / read I'm From Driftwood?
It's a good site. I stuck a story up there recently, too.
The whole 'You're not alone' thing is nice to have.
Cycoris is a dragon? ... This explains why she added me to her hoard...
Hee. (Sniggers)
Spirituality isn't board appropriate due to what it borders and bleeds into. Or at least it seems to inevitably lead to board inappropriate topics. One of those two.
Also, yes, it is apparently disproportionately non-hetero. I'm not sure whether my roomie was in the closet or not, to be honest. He was an admitted asexual but also had two romantical relationships with women. Not sure what his relationship with others of the subculture was... I do know that a segment of it rejected him on basis of the color of his skin somehow disqualifying him. Some sort of belief that those with skin that's not milk-white can't be furries or goths.
Was... surreal. You're not supposed to be that baldfaced about being a racist in this day and age. You're supposed to make it look like it's good to be racist, after all, or that you're not being racist even though a cursory glance indicates that to be the case.
No. You do realize that racism exists in forms today that are not the blatant, white-sheet-wearing racism of our forebears, yes?
Similar to how the only way to be actively homophobic without being ostracized by the mainstream as a fossil like Mssr. Phelps is to speak to "Family Values," as opposed to promise to string up people for being queer.
And I know what I was doing when I chose to type out "Romantical," designed to add an element of levity to what was said. Hell, I knew what I was doing too. I am not ignorant of the correct spelling.
