FFXI LGBT Community, Who Are You?

ok... I'm not saying i go for like "GI Joe, deep voice, commando, tim the tool man taylor" masc either lol

So long as a guy isnt wearing a rainbow belt, stickers, buttons(NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, JUST NOT MY THING), weirdly colored hair, or looks like a Lady Gaga I"M ok with them. Oh yes and women's clothes big no no for me personally.

I halfway agree. I think it's only an insecurity when people allow their sense of gender identity to compel them to adopt behaviors that they would not normally display or that make them uncomfortable.


Hahah still, it makes me sad that I'm going to graduate never having seen the majority of places here outside Vandy. XD

i know so many guys who are obsessed with the "GI Joe, deep voice, commando, tim the tool man taylor" masc

but hey i guess that means we don't compete for dates!

Well, I think it's difficult to determine which is which in most cases.

Yep. :/ Even our own identities are impossible to pin down sometimes lol

If anyone finds a link to download RuPaul's Drag Race new episodes, send it my way!

WTF lol.

Personally i like pretty-boy/metro masc. knows how to dress, nice hair cut or fade.

In genetics theres something we use to broaden why something is common in a population but still varies.

Genetics + Environment = Phenotype(Final Expression)

besides, balance is sexy.

Pic unrelated:

Ooh send me them too. :3:3

Oh im a total "fashionista" GIRL! lol well to some degree. Ur outfit need to be somewhat color-coordinated before u walk out the door. None of this Britney walking out the car with ur "hoo-haa" hanging out. lol

nice try, but i don't think this is particularly related in this case :P
Did you quote the wrong person? x3
Phenotypic expression isn't particularly related to what I said XD

I should have quoted the whole convo. When @Carrelo, mentioned about it being it being an insecurity to some. Phenotypic expression isnt just physical manifestations in organisms.


Back to Topic on MASC vs FEMM lables



Lulz i just couldnt stop laughing its hilarious! lol

hi!

personally, i recommend that everyone on the planet take a course in behavioural endocrinology and/or neuroethology

fascinating subjects :P

Well hey, I've lived here 21 years and I barely know my way around Antioch >_> and my only real experiences downtown are on 2nd avenue going to laser tag for friends birthday.

lol i get it because it's a monitor lizard

lol now I'm imagining you busting out Punnett Squares to screen prospective dates. XD

Punnet Squares are Mendalian genetics, which are somewhat archaic now lol Because they only work on single trait specific alleles/genes. Where as most genes/allelos code for multiple factors.

E.g. Colorblindness is on same allele as sex chromosome. etc..

Social Evo/Ecology was bad enough. All i remember out of that class was the dog with multiple food bowl example... neuroethology? what univ is this lol. Its called pyshobiology at most univ's in the US lol or falls under anthro lol

fk yeah, 8am class cancelled for tomorrow. :D:D:D

Prof has strep. Poor lady. :( But yay no class lol XD

behavioural endocrinology is the study of hormones and their impact on behaviour

neuroethology is the study of how the nervous system translates biological relevant stimuli into behaviours in natural settings

Yay finally home. FF time for a little bit

correct and neither of which has a single dedicated-course. They are usually included in other courses, e.g pyschobiology, evolutionary genetics, molecular genetics, b/c all three of those fields cover those topics to some degree- at least in United States universities.

That's like me creating a course on prokaryotic bacterial population genetics. Its far too specific of a course even at the graduate/doctoral level.

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about. If you talk business I'll know it! I got my masters in finance, even though its completely worthless as I've never had a use for it.

lol when i took evolutionary genetics it might as well have been a mathematics course

idkbro, i guess i'm lucky in that my university (virginia tech) offers a lot of semester-long courses in specific areas.

things i've taken that are highly specific at the graduate or undergraduate level in our biology department:

neurochemical regulation (4XXX)
behavioural endocrinology (5XXX)
disease ecology (5XXX)
insect structure/function (5XXX)
ethology (4XXX)
neuroethology (5XXX)
chemical ecology (5XXX)
aquatic entomology (4/5XXX)
medical/veterinary entomolgy (3XXX)


random specific things that are currently on our timetable:

food microbiology
social behavior of birds and mammals
inflammation biology
cancer biology
quantitative ecology

we also have separate courses for

microbiology
microbial genetics
microbial physiology
pathogenic bacteriology
environmental microbiology
virology

i enjoy it, i'd rather go in-depth in a specific area of interest than overview a group of interrelated fields.

im eatting my doritos atm lol while waiting for 3# hoverpot to pop

So jealous. I want doritos! Stupid diet.
