i love being introduced to new academic discourse

today it's "why professor juniper's pokedex lacked data on minor sexual dimophism and the implications thereof"

gotta-pet-em-all

”but fluff, who cares? Pokémon usually don’t have that much sexual dimorphism anyways, right?” That’s true. Humans have sexual dimorphism in size, fat distribution, and bone structure among other things. Most Pokémon have only minor differences— an extra spot or stripe, or larger fins or smaller antennae.

however. I want to know about those things.

"But who cares" well maybe the nerds need enrichment in a way that'll either be really cool fun facts or be groundwork research for something huge 40 years down the line. Maybe knowing the little sexual dimorphism details will be crucial for studies of environmental changes. Maybe people care because everyone cares about something

gotta-pet-em-all

and you KNOW that people are going to start using male pokemon as the default and females as the deviant extra form because for some godsforsaken reason humans love to project gender roles and misogyny onto pokemon! and if all forms aren't included, misinformation is going to spread!

#cheren never let me forget that one 😔

I support this cause dawg wdym you could tell what gender a pokemon is without having to catch it for most of them. What do you mean the 'bald' unfezants were the girls

they think your hair is a pink nest perhaps

I have pidove constantly trying to nest in my hair during some seasons. So. Yeah. Strong possibility

Birds be like: Reshiram has feather therefore its bird therefore its friend and you are friend too :)

Alright, curious about this one

What do these mean? I’m sorry, I don’t know much about medicine?

Non-native Galarian speaker I take it? I don't know other languages, so can't give equivalents with the correct level of nuance or anything like that, but I can define stuff in Galarian. Or is it something else?

That said, which terms in particular aren't you familiar with?

deactivated-blog

Yeah that’d be right! I’m technically Zoryan but since I’m in a particularly bad mood with the whole government right now (hopefully you got one of those democracies things over there, or a constitutional monarchy like Galar?) I’m going to say my native language is Arekow and not Greater Zoryan haha. But I suppose me being a peasant and all, and one of the few of us lot that know how to read more then two words that might be a thing too haha.

Most of them honest, I know what man and woman is of course, but what’s trains have to do with it? Trains are pretty cool, wish we had one, I think it’d be nice to be a train- I could take alllll sorts of grain to all sorts of people! I’d love to learn though, it’d at the very least be a good distraction from all that’s happened lately.

Spirits forgive me, I’m not sure why I assumed you were Zoryan too, last name sounded familiar enough 😅.

#technically a cis guy but ive been going lately by Reshi/Ram as a joke and i think is starting to do something to me i dunno. i like it

It appears the website is being odd about alignment of some things again. Or maybe not odd if we knew deeper details since nothing guarantees alignment of some things, but... I'm getting distracted there.

That said, nah, I'm Unovan, but my family ancestry is from the north kinda central (more western) part of the Old World. Immigrated a couple generations ago. My last name isn't Galarian. If you used the writing system of my family's ethnicity (well, one of them, using the one my last name is from) it'd be Астра Циолковский.

Anyways... yeah, federal republic, but mood at being pissed at the government. It's got a lot of problems, but... yeah. It's late, so me getting into political theory as well as gender terminology is probably too much for me at the moment, since it's late and I'm dealing with a lot of brain fog/mental fatigue at the moment from some activities last week.

In any case, we're going to get into gender politics here. Apologies if it gets a bit garbled due to previously mentioned fatigue. The basic premise of gender dynamic and social analysis is the observation that gender is ultimately a social construct in the same way codes of manners are, and that society has assigned, and violently enforces, roles, expectations, and effectively a social class based on primary sexual characteristics at birth. This is the basis that all further analysis and definitions going forward in my explanation hinges on.

Note that I said gender has been assigned and violently enforced by society. This means you might not agree with your assignment. Which brings us to the terms cis and trans.

Cis and trans are terms that are derived from chemistry nomenclature designating if the functional groups of a chemical are on the same side of the molecule (cis) or are on different sides of the molecule (trans). By analogy this was used to describe if what you personally felt fit you best was broadly what society assigned you at birth (cis) or if you disagree with that assignment (trans).

And once again, I have to note that this is forcibly and violently assigned and enforced by society. Which means social forces are such that you face oppression and punishment for disagreeing with said assignment.

That being said, as an example, a cis woman would be someone society deemed a woman at birth and said individual broadly agreed with that assignment. A trans woman would be someone who was NOT deemed a woman at birth but felt that they resonate with the concept of womanhood strongly enough for that to be a core/major component of their self conception. Similar applies for the male equivalents.

Non-binary is similar, but you feel that the classes of man and woman as they exist in the western gender binary correctly describe you.

TMA and TME is a little bit more complex. TMA, short for transmisogyny applied, describes someone who is subjected to the combination the two major modes of sexism in modern society and is unable to leverage their socially assigned categories to exempt themselves of at least one of the two modes: male superiority (sometimes called traditional misogyny/sexism) and oppositional sexism. Oppositional sexism is the belief that male and female are inherently opposite with no overlap worth noting. Implicitly oppositional sexism posits that gender assignments are contingent on physical traits such as primary sexual characteristics, as otherwise there could be potential overlap. From these it follows that TME, transmisogyny exempt, is someone who CAN leverage at least one of their socially assigned categories to exempt themselves from at least one of the two modes of sexism. The classic ways of doing this is asserting that you are a man and/or asserting that you are cis and thus not calling into question one of the core consequences of the belief that there is no overlap between genders.

Of note is that this analysis framework also is based off prior work, specifically from black individuals, regarding racial oppression and how that can combine with misogyny in a manner greater than the sum of its parts and/or in unique combinations.

Gender fluid is much more simple. Individuals who identify as this feel that their gender identity is, well, fluid, and consider that fluidity to be an important aspect of their identity.

Agender is also fairly simple comparatively. You don't feel that any gender is proper for yourself.

Apologies for the ramble and delay, it took a bit to write this out. Hopefully that helps clear things up at least a bit.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN GHETSIS ESCAPED CUSTODY.

#pink blake #//valid reaction lmaooo

Aw man, yours too?

update on the plasma sages case: managed to track down Rood today. honestly, I’m real glad he was the first one I managed to find… we had a short talk- about how he met Ghetsis, how Plasma came to be, about N, the dragons, whatnot. he told me a bit more about the closeness he had with Ashlynn, Concordia and Anthea, how they were all like daughters to him. I asked him if he wanted to get in touch with them again since I’ve got their contacts, but he said he wanted to wait until he received his sentence.

I… really hope it isn’t too harsh, whatever it ends up being. he was a huge help in fighting back against the Plasma siege, I’ll vouch for him if need be. I also hope he gets to reunite with Ashlynn and the others…

…oooon an unrelated to Plasma note, while I was out investigating that area I stumbled across a ranger who?? handed a Pokémon egg to me. which like. ok. not the first time this has happened to me I Guess. said she found it near Relic Castle, sooo no clue what it could really be? Darumaka, Sandile, Maractus, Yamask maybe? thinking Darumaka cause that seems closest to the coloration on this guy

Juniper suggested I carry it around ‘til it hatches, so I guess we’ll find out. I’m not super experienced in handling Pokémon eggs, but I know enough to be confident I won’t. break it or something lmfao

#im not allowed to say anything aaughh #//PINK BESTIE W FUZZY SUN BUG.... AAUUGHHH ..... 🥺

Chat does he know (he doesn't)

on another note who even daydreams about doing cute domestic shit with their crush you should be dreaming of hitting them with a comically large hammer
