Plant-kin isn't a gender issue, however. So I really have to wonder why you'd bring something that ridiculous up when it has absolutely no relevance.

You know those old people who yell racial slurs from their porches and talk about the days when people could just call a "N**** a N****"?
If you don't watch yourself that's going to be you in 50 years. Don't ever take what has been deemed common as a sign that it is right or good. History shows us all the time how fallible we have been and still are when it comes to social constructs.

Have you ever met anyone who identified as "plant-kin"? Or is it just some ridiculous statement you use as a weak excuse to justify your lack of acceptance for other people's perspectives?
It reminds me an awful lot of people who screamed " If homosexuals can get married, what's next? People will marry their couches and Llama's!" The statement is absolutely ridiculous and worse has no relevance to gay marriage at all. It's just used as a weak attempt to mock gay marriage, or undermine it's legitimacy.
.
What ever gender someone feels they are, whether it alligns with their sex or not has nothing to do with people that don't think of themselves as people, but plant-kin. Not that I truly believe that there is a huge population that thinks of themselves as plants rather than human, mind you.
Such a statement is just another weak attempt to mock and undermine the legitimacy of gender identity.

OK, so the scene starts when Romeo sees her in her bedroom (through the balcony doors glass) after he climbs over the wall. I'll start as Romeo :P
.
What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
Rise fair sun and kill the envious moon who is already pale with grief that thou, her maid, ar far more fair than she.
Be not her maid! For she is envious! Her vestal livery is but sick and green and none but fools do wear it! Cast it off!

I'm a psychology student and from the very start my professors and text books made sure to distinguish the difference between sex and gender. So I'm not sure where Gamer Girl gets her information, but gender is absolutely a psychological perspective.

Ha! Yes, let's do it :)
Want to start from when Romeo sees her? "What light through yonder window breaks?" Or did you have another starting point in mind?

T'is but thy name that is my enemy,
Thou art thyself and not a Montague.
What's a Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face...
Nore any other part belonging to a man.
Oh be some other name! But what's in a name?
That which we call a rose would smell as sweet.
Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
retain that dear perfection which he owns without that title.
Oh, doff thy name, and for that name, which is no part of thee, take all myself!
.
Also from memory. I wonder how far we can recite if we pool our Romeo and Juliet knowledge? :)

They look so cute! But at the same time I feel kinda sad for them. Can they still "Cat Ninja" around the place? It looks like the poor things wouldn't be able to jump very far, if at all!

And when we're discussing something, or if i'm expressing my opinion, I'm not using "reverse psychology" or any other type of "psy tricks" to strengthen my arguments or get you to agree with me...

Unpopular opinion maybe, but..
You know what always surprises me? That when it comes to any other part of our lives, decorating is acceptable.
You want to add glitters to your room? Go on!
You want to add more color to your garden? Go on!
You want do something playful with your clothes? Go on!
.
But if you like to decorate yourself, add a little glitter here, a little color there, then you MUST hate yourself. Decorating yourself is an absolutely natural tendency. We do it literally everywhere else, and why shouldn't we? It's a way of expressing yourself and there's nothing wrong with that.
Whether you decide to express yourself using jewelry, clothing, make-up, or a pointed lack of any of the above, it's your choice and your decision. And nether option make the person chosing it someone who "obviously hates themselves".

You guys are insane, the green piece could be Matcha, or Pistache, or some crazy green apple candy flavor and I'd eat the hell out of all those options.

I wonder how many beers it took. Because if this is what they do after 3 beers, I wanna stop by and give them a case, sit back and watch what happens.

It seems like some troll's invention to ridicule fluidity in identity.
