  • but you won’t call that being “genderfluid”, as having a “locked” gender may seems weird to them.

    And I would say that someone who has always been female and happens to have a male body as having a “locked” gender. I just use “cis” to mean that your gender matches your sex. Not anything about whether or not your gender is fixed.


  • My understanding is that gender is how you think of yourself. If you consider yourself to be a man, then regardless of what society says, you’re a man. They can’t simply assign you the gender of woman. The terms AMAB and AFAB are referring to your sex, not your gender.

    Trans is not just about your body, but also about how everyone and the society percieve you (that’s why you have multiple type of coming out).

    So if someone was born male, and thinks of themselves as female, but they haven’t told anyone, would you say that they’re cisgender because the gender society perceives them as matches their birth sex?






  • I’d be more afraid of an anti-gravity belt that is an anti-inertia belt. It would reverse gravity, which would normally cause you to fall up, except it also reverses your inertia so you still go down. But if you push on the floor, the floor will push back up on you, which will cause you to accelerate towards the floor. You’d probably end up fused into it.

    I’m really not seeing how one that isn’t an anti-inertia belt is a problem, besides breaking general relativity. If you turn the anti-gravity way up the acceleration could kill you, but I’d think of that as too much anti-gravity instead of lack of inertial dampening.


  • Tarhiel was carrying three other scrolls, so he may have planned ahead with one for the jump and one for the landing each time and just didn’t manage to use one of them. Though that raises the question of why he’d use a presumably very valuable prototype scroll instead of just using Potions of Slowfalling or Scrolls of Tinur’s Hoptoad.
