Okay, some advice should we continue to discuss the Gender Question(tm). Remember when discussing that we are talking about a very sensitive Real Life Issue that falls under the classic "Politics and Religion" rule. It is a heated topic that brings out strong opinions, and is something real people struggle with in real life. Some of the people that have commented and participated belong to the group being discussed, so please remember to RESPECT THEIR FEELINGS and think before you comment.

Stuff you should avoid saying:

1. Like the article itself states, please stick with Masculine pronouns. Feminine pronouns have never been used within the material, so stick with that as your basis. If completely in doubt, you can also use neutral ones like "they/them/their".

2. Please avoid negative stereotypes and negative statements about transgender identities.

3. Remember when presenting theories that things like "Mutsuki thinks girls are weak or useless" is not canon. That is one theory people have presented, but drawn wholly from their own minds and not from the material. We honestly don't know Mutsuki's opinions on girls.

4. Mutsuki has not actually stated anything about his identity yet, so remember that nothing is set in stone. The line being pointed to as evidence right now is very ambiguous and uncertain in the Japanese. It can be read several different ways, leaving it open what Mutsuki actually means.

5. If someone makes a statement that seems offensive, please explain to them the reason. The fact is Gender Issues are something that a lot of people honestly don't understand or know anything about. And if someone does express that they find a statement you made troublesome, please LISTEN to the reason that it could be problematic.

Now let's attempt to keep things civil, okay? Please? If you really feel like you're getting angry, step away from the conversation for a while. Come back after you've cooled your head.
