    Oh oh oh, one more thing real quick. You would agree that you are born your gender, regardless of physical sexual characteristics like genitals, correct? So transgender people have been transgender since birth and are just now coming out. Agender/genderqueer/genderfluid people were born like that as well. Seven of nine was not born a Borg drone. That is not their gender. She was born as a female human child. I do not know, nor does anyone know how she would have expressed herself if she had not been assimilated, but I’d put money on the theory that she would not choose to identify as a Borg. Borg are by their very nature, not a gender, because they have been changed from their preferred expression.

      No. Nobody is born a man, woman, boy, girl, or anything else. Babies have no gender. Gender identity begins developing at age 2-3, solidifies at age 4, and continues to develop into adulthood. In some people, such as genderfluid people, it never solidifies into a single state. Psychologists have demonstrated that gender forms during early childhood at length. Sociologists have for a very long time said that gender is a social construct (NOT a biological one), and have pointed out that different cultures have different numbers of genders. Do you think it’s a cosmic coincidence that bissu-gender people are only born in Bugis society and not in other cultures? No. The bissu gender, like all genders, is socially formed.

          Those studies that say age 4 are not absolute, as I said, some humans retain a fluid gender. And besides that, Borg do not have human neurochemistry.

              No, they have a formerly-human brain filled with cybernetics. And by saying I’m not a Borg, do you mean to argue that I’m a gender different than what I identify as?

                No, you are physically not a Borg. Look in the mirror. You do not have implants. You were not assimilated. This is not a Star Trek episode. Also, you’re participating in vote manipulation by using the alt you just created to down vote me and upvote yourself.

                  I’m not participating in vote manipulation, because I’m not using an alt. Now, I asked you a question and I want a direct answer. I identify as swarmgender. Are you arguing that I’m a different gender than what I say I am? Don’t be a coward and dodge the question, answer it.

                  Hold up, are you saying that physical biology determines what gender someone can have? That looks like it’s exactly what you’re saying and that’s pretty messed up.

                    That’s not what I’m saying at all. BORG DO NOT EXIST. THEY ARE FROM A TV SHOW.
