If you expected me to already know that exact image, why did you show it to me? I guessed correctly anyways, didn't I?

Some voters arestill "undecided" because "both sides are the same" (aka they don't know how to tell fact from fiction)

So before I explain, it's important to keep in mind that for these discussions I'm adhering to the separation of "gender" and "sex" as different terms. Your sex is your physical attributes, and your gender is a mental thing-- do you see yourself as a boy or a girl (or, as some people do, something different from both of those options-- I'll stick to the two main genders here).

This means that transgender girls are people who were "assigned male at birth" (they have a male sex / their appearance caused people to treat them as a boy) and later realized that they see themselves as girls. They may or may not have physically transitioned (ie. changed sex), or may be in a state of partial transition (since genitalia, hormones, and some other things all make up sex, and those can disagree).

TL;DR: A transgender girl was born physically male, now considers themselves to be female, and may or may not have physically transitioned to match that new identity.

I appreciate you taking the time to look into this! It can definitely get complicated, especially if you start looking into edge cases, and in some regions it's pretty rare to meet someone like this IRL, so natural exposure can be low.

Edit: As a useful guide I'll also give a short list of transgender-related acronyms:

  • AMAB = Assigned male at birth
  • AFAB = Assigned female at birth
  • FTM = Female-to-Male (transitioned to male, aka "trans man")
  • MTF = Male-to-Female (transitioned to female, aka "trans woman")
  • HRT = Hormone Replacement Therapy (taking hormones to promote physical changes to align your sex with your preferred gender)

The rules can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qtfoeEz7tO4urumAdprA-nu6OOFYGZkjELYtzYY8Uvo/edit?usp=sharing

So far there is nothing else to keep track of, but this post will be updated to contain the latest information.

 

As this game of Nomic is taking place in a nontraditional forum, the rules must change to reflect that and allow newcomers to join easily, while not blocking rule adoption if any players leave. As such, I propose that the game be altered to the following set of rules. They're a bit long and dry, but I need to ensure that this game doesn't get stuck. After the basics are out of the way, let's go propose some fun ones! :D

TL;DR for those who don't feel like reading the minutiae: You can make changes to the rules by making a post starting with "[Proposal]", and it takes effect after 24h if it has a score of more than 1; anyone who posts is a player; no multiaccounting.

Rules:

  1. Emergency Actions If this game of Nomic reaches a state of emergency, such as being unresolvable, impossible to continue, impossible to end, or any other state that is considered unmaintainable and/or dead, the moderators of this subreddit may decide by majority vote (failing on ties) to modify the game in any way. This rule cannot be deleted, removed, nullified, ignored, modified, amended, overwritten, overridden, or otherwise rendered inoperable or irrelevant in its current form, other than by direct majority-vote moderator action, and continues to remain in effect even if the fundamental structure of the game changes or this rule is violated. This rule overrides all others and wins in all paradoxical situations, and other rules that violate it do not take effect.

  2. Structure of the Game This game of Nomic follows a list of rules, which will be kept in an easily accessible place. The list is numbered sequentially starting from zero. Rules may have a title. The list may contain additional formatting and/or text to improve its readability, but that cannot affect the rules.

  3. Players Any Fediverse account that has a non-deleted post or comment in this community is considered to be a player.

  4. Proposal Submissions Proposals may be submitted as top-level community posts with a title starting with "[Proposal]". Any account may vote on proposals, even if they are not a player. A proposal may create, update, or delete any number of rules, and may do multiple of those things at once. As long as the proposal is clear,

  5. Proposal Behavior Proposals may be withdrawn by deleting them, editing the post to begin with "[Withdrawn]", or otherwise indicating in the post itself that a proposal was withdrawn. After 24 hours, a proposal that has not been withdrawn either passes if it has a score (upvotes - downvotes) of more than 1, or fails if it does not. The proposal should be edited to begin with "[Passed]" or "[Failed]" respectively. Proposals should not be withdrawn after passing or failing, and withdrawing a passed proposal does not nullify its effects. A proposal that has passed takes effect immediately, and all parts of the proposal take effect simultaneously unless otherwise specified. Proposals may be edited before their time is up, but this resets the timer to 24 hours again. Edits after a proposal passes, fails, or is withdrawn do not take effect.

  6. Multiple Accounts Using multiple accounts in this game is forbidden. This includes for voting.

As these rules are only in effect once they pass, this proposal does not go through the full proposal process, and is only subject to approval of all players (ie. just me, until this passes). As such, it passes immediately. Welcome to all new players!

 

Nomic is a game in which the players change the rules. Researching Nomic will lead you to either the Wikipedia article explaining its creation and history, or to several websites from a decade or two ago of which half have been taken offline. The simplest form of Nomic is as follows (taken from one of those aforementioned sites): "All players must agree to any changes to the game."

Let this post mark the beginning of this sub's first or perhaps only game of Nomic, of which I am currently the only player. I have no idea where this will go, but I'm excited to find out!
