I don't mean to offend anyone and I want to emphasize that I respect everyone's opinion and lifestyle, but the concept of gender being a different and separate thing from biological sex is a relatively modern social invention without any scientific basis and with no evidence to back it up. The word gender and sex (biological) are used interchangeably in scientific fields and the idea that someone is not defined by their biology and can identify and feel as something else is a concept created by feminists.

Again, I don't want to offend anyone, but it is clearly a flawed one at that. A man can be feminine, but that doesn't make him a non-man, woman or other. A woman can be masculine, but that doesn't make her a non-woman, man or other.

The reason why this feminist theory doesn't work and even contradicts itself is simple... the idea is that the mental and emotional states are more important to our identity than our biology, so someone with a penis and testicles shouldn't automatically be labeled and thought of as a man/male/insert masculine pronoun, because this individual may be feminine, in between or not-set, feel and identify as a female/other. Likewise, someone with a vagina, ovaries, uterus and breasts shouldn't automatically be labeled as a woman/female, insert feminine pronoun, because this individual may be masculine, in between or not-set, feel and identify as a male/other.

While that's nice and all, the very thing that they advocate for (that being someone with male body being feminine or neutral or not-set/someone with female body being masculine or neutral or not-set) is self-contradictory, because by inventing other genders/terms to label these people besides male and female, they actually support the very things they are against, those being social norms with expectations and labels being attributed to someone having certain bodily characteristics.

So if someone as an example is XY but identifies as a female/other, this individual 'itself' makes a correlation between biology, behavior, social norms and expectations, by the very act of distancing from the established 2 (male, female) and inventing new ones.... but I thought the entire point was to remove the correlations between mental and emotional states/identity and social norms and expectations????? Apparently not.... Because short version: XY identifying as female, XX identifying as male, someone identifying as other does NOT remove these people from 2 bags that the society put them into..... it just creates new, additional bags for these people to be put into, therefore not really solving the problem, that's the lesson for today :)

The other side of the thing, the point that I and Seelentau have brought up... is our practice of covering information pertaining to the entirety of the series from the beginning to the most recent, inside the infoboxes. Since we no longer do 'formers' for quite some years now (used to be a thing) and individuals with now lost powers are still being listed as current users of those. However, as Dantman has pointed out, once a character dies, we change their status to deceased, even though that character used to be alive at a point in the series... meaning a reforming and unification of our practices is probably long overdue by now... something should be decided and done.
