    Used to happen quite a lot in past especially from those claiming to be lesbian.

    But we are talking (at least I am) of a situation within SL.

    Would it be deception if one is crossdressed to represent a female and halfway through a slex session pull out a male appendage and attempt to use it in the session or conversely a female crossdressed to appear male and then halfway through a session, not have the expected appendage?

    Then I guess we are sharing viewpoints and challenging each others thinking on best practices.

    Noone here is talking about allowing unchecked abuse, rather the topic of the thread is whether identifying oneself appropriately in the profile in spite of portraying oneself differently. Deception is also abusive. Two wrongs don't make something right but it does give a better ability to judge what the best remedial action is.

    Differing reactions is all. Fear triggers a fight, flight or freeze response in people with a myriad of differing ways that those reactions can manifest. Hard for arm chair warriors to properly judge what is behind every circumstance,

    Considering the definition of phobia, I think the term is appropriate for how some people react: phobia A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion. Any morbid uncontrollable dread or fear. It can often be the case for those who might have been abused in their adolescent years and have not healed from it. The more extreme cases of those who might be termed homophobic or transphobic, I would think fit in that category rather then just someone who one day decides to take on a prejudice towards those who differ in their sexual orientation.

    Maybe you thinking of the French spelling Campbells Bouillon?

    A few days after joining SL the raining down of ***** which at the time I thought was like manna from heaven but now realize it was a griefing thing. 😍

    The content is within the context of SecondLife. Outside of it, much of it would have no relevance. If they were to lock the thread for that, they may as well just shut the whole forum down.

    Is it a current social norm or just something what some think it should be? Is it ethical for someone to claim they are a particular gender when they have not been born with that particular plumbing? This is a question being asked by a lot more then just the OP.
  12. Arielle Popstar
    What is interesting for this thread is the ethics for those who are trans or transitioning or even just see themselves as not the sex they were born with. Is it a false pretense to state one is a particular gender based on some degree of transitioning when one is born to the opposite sex of the one stated?
  13. Arielle Popstar
    Yes I guess it is just another facet of the excitement in getting away with something one isn't supposed to.

    Plenty of profiles out there stating a female looking avatar has extra regardless if the person behind is male or female in real. That way both bases are covered. Myself for example I had on my profile for a long time that I am a Barbie girl in a Barbie world that may come with plugin and play Ken parts. Surprising amount of 'straight' men who actually liked that. 😏
  15. Arielle Popstar
    So much the same for my male alt. Just never feel the need to change his outfit more then bi annually and it seems fine whereas for me it I have noticed a difference in the amount of IM's I get if I don't change every 2-3 days at the very least. It is not just my own sense of wanting fresh outfits but also the expectations of others that I do so.

    Such a person I would suspect of being an actual rl female from being wary of sharing even location information and also preferring cuddles over actual slex. In general that isn't how men are. Some of the best friends I have inworld those questions don't even come up as the relationship is based on how we feel about things in a general way rather than their A/S/L. The only reason I tend to care about location is for their time zone as it gives me an idea of their inworld times. Neither is their vocation of real interest because well I don't really want to know that this pretty young thing is actually a 50 year bricklayer. 😉

    Somewhere along the line the consideration for gender identity and expression comes into play and the changing ethics that surround it. If one is feeling a little masculine today and therefore comes out with their male avatar but tomorrow feels somewhat feminine and instead comes out with their female account, where do the ethics come into play in identifying what one is in RL to another? Perhaps one should be sharing what sexual plumbing one has rather then their gender.

    It serves the purpose of pointing out why we can't have nice things.

    Something I have noticed that can be a problem is if the color changing hud is close to another minimized hud. The minimized hud can still overlap the one you are trying to click on for a colour change. I noticed this happening with the minimized Legacy hud for example when I had another hud I was trying to make changes on was in the area where the full legacy hud would be located, even if the 2 huds were attached to different areas of the screen.

    So if they are habitual repeat offenders, wouldn't it be better resolved through an AR filing against the specific residents?
  21. Arielle Popstar
    It does get a little tiring after 12 pages of over entitled renters going on about their right to boot, kick AR anyone overstepping their boundaries. More to the point is why the Lab knowingly has different policies for different areas.
  22. Arielle Popstar
    Depends what some been smoking.
  23. Arielle Popstar
    So how often has this really happened to you? You make it sound like it is all the time but unless you have a sign on your skybox stating Helipad! I would suspect it has only happened once, if ever.
  24. Arielle Popstar
    If I was to have a pet peeve here it would be that the supposedly mature people do not understand the implications of why people stop growing up rather than assuming and expecting that everyone will in proportion to their physical age. People often stop maturing because they take on something like (alcohol, drugs, lifestyle addictions, etc) where when the challenges of adulthood came up, the person instead decided to run away from the problem and chose their addiction to help cope instead. I had to face this myself when at the age of 35 I had to give up some lifestyle addictions and came to realize my 15 year old daughter was more emotionally mature in handling social interactions then I was myself. I had the house, the cars, the businesses but that does not mean I was not socially inept or emotionally immature. I started escaping the challenges of life when I was 12 and as such had the emotional maturity of a 12 year. After years of recovery work I am almost 21 emotionally! It is one thing to know intellectually how one should act but quite another to actually consistently act on that knowledge. That only comes with identifying those areas that need work and then with support, practice them.

    I would see such a profile as that of someone wanting to be another's daddy
