#overthinkingthis
In recent times, the idea of gender identity has become commonplace. So much so that there is a wiki listing over 20 different genders. Although the idea of Transsexuality was dealt with in Man In Pink, what about people who are Genderfluid? Or Agender? How would the Prism deal with that? Could there be a "Genderfluid In Blue" or "Pangender In White"?
(This is, at least for now, purely theoretical. We've already got two massive factions of colorfolk to deal with, let's not add 18 more just yet.)

I think it's too confusing and would best be left alone for now at least.

Yes, that would make things too confusing, to be honest; I think we're better off with what we have now for the time being.

Wait a sec here โ genders besides male and female? That sounds like a something from a sci-fi movie.
Got a link?

Yeah..........................................................................
I think it's best to stick with just Man and Woman In Colors.

Plus it would feel forced.

What part of "thought experiment" did we miss here, folks? I'm not planning on doing this (unless it's a parody of overdone PCness), I'm just asking "what if"?
And D11, that "yeah" has me worried... it's not a joke, believe me.

i see what you are trying to consider Toz; though to be honest, for the kind of story we are writing, I feel this kind of thing would over complicate things.
This is an interesting discussion though, and I am interested in continuing it.
