Here in the real world gender dyphoria is one of the more horrifying birth defects. I can't really imagine how awful it must be to have been born the wrong sex. Presumably in times past people suffering from this had no choice but to simply endure that special Hell. Now we have procedures that can correct the situation and allow people to be the gender they were supposed to be.

Still, as technology and science advances, so will our ability to modify our own physical forms with surgery and genetic manipulation.

I remember bits from Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan showing people "wearing" traits of dolphins.

In a universe populated with such a diverse spread of species as the Star Wars universe is, I could legitimately see people coming to decide that they really, truly should have been a Wookie or Ewok or something. I could also see members of non-human species choosing some black market method to transitioning to being a human, especially under the Empire or First Order because humans get treated much better there.

Yeah nah, that's pretty hosed and not at all like the trans experience.

In what ways?

I'm a CiS-gender straight white male living in the American South. I don't know any trans people (at least none who are open about it).

So, I'd really like to learn more and correct the mistakes I have in my perceptions.

Trans people aren't born in the wrong bodies. We're just assigned a gender incongruent with how we feel, based on our body. If gender as a construct ceased to exist, so would gender dysphoria. Medical procedures to 'correct' or reassign physical characteristics and bring them more in line with society's understanding of a trans person's gender only exist to make people (including ourselves) recognise us as our gender easier.

Rocksicles posted:

People have different types of dysphoria though. Regardless of the sci-fi bad humour, for some people it's not exactly inaccurate.


Don't make jokes about it, folks aren't ready and most never will be.

This also has to be balanced against the knowledge that people can often have bad, and harmful understandings of themselves for a multitude of reasons like mental illness or for religious or ideological purposes.

Not quite. While the attacks disrupted Saudi oil production, the facilities were brought back online fairly within two weeks. The attackers claimed to be (and probably some of the were) Houthi rebels from Yemem (which are supported by Iran) but the Saudi accused Iran of actually doing the attacks. No real proof came out one way or the other.

Considering there's no evidence of Iranian involvement and the Yemenis have attacked Saudi airports with drones in the past, it's silly to take the US at their word when they're trying to build justifications for a war with Iran. Regardless, if we do take it to be an Iranian attack, that means your point is even weaker as the Houthi's legitimacy as Yemen's government isn't a factor.

It's because of incredibly easy and fast space travel. The contradictions of capitalism, and in particular the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, are not assuaged by the costly continual innovation of the means of production in Star Wars, but simply through the extraction of super-profits from worlds outside the imperial core. The Outer Rim has literally been the periphery of empire for tens of millenia and the intentional underdevelopment has been a constant feature throughout.

Ep 3 of Boba was hilarious. This was 100% a 13 year old DM's mid to late 80's adventure for their buddies. So many mini-quests. The cyberpunk cyborg street gangers on colorful vespas. The incredibly low speed chase. The sensitive rancor bonding on Boba like a baby duckling. Emotionally complex creatures who can become very loving. So many laugh out loud moments.

This is what made Rebels good, so hopefully they keep pulling from their old D6 campaigns.

I think it'd be silly to say he's doing an accent, but he's definitely not just acting in his regular speaking timbre and cadence, he's adding a lot more gravel to his voice and speaking very short and clipped compared to how he talks conversationally.

I feel like Fennec tried to explain how negotiations work to Boba and he sort of got it in that sit down, but really rushed backing down from the initial, 'lets form an alliance' position to the, 'alright, how about you just don't join in, in trying to kill me' compromise position.
