Hi guys, I have been just checking out this thread even though I do not need support for anything, yet (if ever). I just wanted to get to know this side of the community.
However Happy New Year y'all, I hope you all have a great time with family, friends, or just by your self. 2017 is behind us and 2018 has a whole new years worth of possibilities, I just hope it doesn't turn into one big meme or whatever 2015 was. lol.Muad'drin tia dar allende caba'drin rhiadem!

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
I'm watching a show called A Korean Odyssey, and I think one of the characters (and/or actors?) might be a trans woman. There's a lot of body-hopping in this show, though, so I don't know whether it was, like, a female demon in a male body or something like that. But it wasn't played for laughs or anything like that, seemed pretty low-key. I also didn't catch the character's name, so I can't look up her or the actor. Until I found out anything otherwise, though, I'm just gonna go with "one of the characters just happens to be a trans woman, neat".

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Hello folks, need a bit of help on a RPG-related issue:
One of my players will gain a cohort beginning with the upcoming session and it will be a Rivethun character. Rivethun is a Golarion-specific dwarfish animist/shamanistic tradition that is quite popular with transgender (and even transracial) people.
Now I'm somehow drawing a blank here. AFAIK, shamanism is about contacting outside forces and the spirit world, not really about body and soul. What bothers me somehow more is that this character is already slowly morphing the body around, being able to make a full transition (race as well as gender) each 24h period. I've a hard time connecting both aspects and I'm not quite sure how to portray them together. Any suggestions?

I don't know from Golarion, but real-world shamanic traditions are very centered on the body. To the extent that "shamanism" is an identifiable form of religious tradition across cultures, shamans are traditionally the people with the most medical knowledge, and many traditions involve visions in which the initiate communes with a being who (in the vision) replaces part of their body with something else that grants them power. Shamans are also frequently outside the gender norms of their societies, mixing behaviors and customs that are masculine and feminine.
Do a little research, it's fascinating stuff. I recommend Eliade's "Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy", it's a bit dated but holds up better than most anthropology from the fifties.
As for "transitioning race", I advise you to...not do that. Like if it's an official mechanical thing, you should probably just drop it, or at the very least don't use the phrase "transracial".

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
For one, transracial is a specific thing, it means a child raised entirely by a family of a different racial background, eg. an eastern Asian infant adopted by a Latinx family.
Two, there are a few sensationalized stories lately of people wanting to change race - but being transgender is deeply bound to biology, it's a medical intersex condition of brain architecture... Race has no biological basis. A pair of same sex fraternal twins have more difference between them, genetically, than the markers of two races, it's more tied to political thoughts about geopolitics than anything. There is no biological route for a baby to have been born in a different socioeconomic class two thousand miles away. The analysis of the people who are claiming a background like that is fairly complex, but tends to be a bit creepy from the perspective of the people who had to live with being from those places, all the notes are replicated oddly and nonsensically. They tend to also creep us transgender people out because they are basically an embodiment of "lol attack helicopter" used to belittle us and imply that we are delusional instead of medically gender incongruous."We were once so close to heaven, Peter came out and gave us medals declaring us 'The nicest of the damned'.."

Well, no more estrogen under the radar anymore for me soon.
I just signed a medical release with my therapist today to allow her to share info with my doctor, and an official HRT letter should be in by the end of the month.
Feeling pretty excited here!LGBTitp

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
A friend of mine recently asked on FB for some gender neutral terms for extended family members. But being the ignorant idiot I am, I don't know any, not in English anyway.
Can anyone help me out?

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Well, there's the obvious of parent, grandparent, cousin... I'm guessing that's referring to things like niece/nephew and aunt/uncle? I learned from a Playgrounder that the gender neutral for niece/nephew is nibling, which is adorable. There doesn't seem to be one for aunt/uncle, though (and no gendered terms for cousin, interestingly).

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Ah right, yeah, sorry. I did come across pibling. That seems to be a recent invention, along with something like "auncle".
It's odd, the things English genders and the things it doesn't, and the ones that change over time (eg "girl" used to be neuter).
So let's see, we have:
Son/Daughter/Offspring - Old English from "off-spring" - or Progeny - From Latin for "beget" via Old French (or child, spawn, etc)
Mother/Father/Parent - From Latin for "bring forth" via Old French
Brother/Sister/Sibling - Old English for any relative
Niece/Nephew/Nibling? - apparently goes back to 1951 and coined by a linguist, so that's not a bad provenance really
Uncle/Aunt/??Pibling - From Urban Dictionary. Hmm.
??/??/Cousin - From Latin for "cousin", go figure, via Old French.
Husband/Wife/Spouse - From Latin for "betrothed" via Old French
So it seems like Old French might be worth plundering if it has something for these missing words... Any Old French speakers in the Playground?Last edited by Serpentine; 2018-01-09 at 06:38 AM.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
No, sorry. We're talking about a game where race is a thing (Human, dwarves, elves...) and even interracial intercourse will generate offspring (from Half-Elves and -Orcs to Aasimar and Tiefling), which clearly overrides "human Subspecies" by don't giving a damn. Yes there might be "Garundi" Humans, or "Taldaran" Humans, but that doesn't go into creating mixed races at any point.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
How cultures perform masculinity or femininity is widely variable. The switch anatomically hard-wired into your brain that tells you which role to perform, not so much. Look up David Reimer.
The actual biology in the setting might make things different, yes.
However.
It still is a bit squicky for somebody who just had to deal with somebody trying to treat them like a joke by bringing up somebody "Transracial" in a shock news story to deal with. Thus, it's probably best not to just spring it on people without being aware that it has some unfortunate unintended similarities to some nastiness trans people put up with too often.Last edited by JusticeZero; 2018-01-09 at 01:15 PM.

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
Nah, people I game with are mostly from the BDSM crowd with an overlap into hard-core feminism.
Being germans, we all have a very marked stance when it comes to stuff like "Race and Racism" that makes what's going on in the US on that matter pretty incomprehensible to us.
I do know what triggers my folks and try to stay clear of it, altho I have their consent to use some of it when playing horror games, but this is non of it (Remember some of the discussions I had with Juniper on this board, about being stuck in a rural backwater and other places being way more accepting?)

Re: LGBTAI+ #59: Will You Take This Woman To Be Your Galpal?
I was actually referring to the ones that if you mention on the internet people will start complaining about the “PC bull” and “SJW crap” and how Rick Riordan will no longer be being read in people’s houses
So yes, you were both right.
