Talk:Gender Change Potion

I too agree that the bottle has a swirl of pink and blue that is dull and represents nothing of the trans flag.

I also agree with the idea that the potion isn't related to the trans pride flag,the pink is a different shade,and there is not enough white for it to be a "Color" of the flask rather than just a particle effect,I think if the developers wanted to make a reference to the pride flag they wouldn't be coy enough to make it this obtuse,it would have just been the transgender flag as the bottle,clear as day. In my opinion the potion is pink and blue for the same reason the helix around your character is pink and blue,because they're the colours associated with male and female,which your character is switching between. 86.122.158.103 10:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Avoiding repeated undo's
Hello 71.85.214.253; could you discuss here before attempting repeated removals of the pride flag trivia? We reached consensus on the inclusion of this point earlier, and would appreciate if you justified your edits past the summary you gave here. Thanks! -- Breathlessblizzard (talk) 14:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

"Gender" Vs. "Sex"
This might sound pretty odd to native English speakers, but my native language (German) doesn't have (dedicated) separate words for the more social gender and the biological sex. Wikipedia explains gender as "characteristics may include biological sex". So my question to the community is this: In your personal understanding as an enjoyer of Terraria, does a "Gender Change Potion" also alter a character's biological sex? I'm not looking for perfectly scientific answers. I'm just curious about personal views on the matter and want to gain a better understanding of that aspect of the English language. --87.98.156.68 20:44, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

If you look into the works and accomplishments of the German citizen Magnus Hershfield. His contributions to the early study of the field was revolutionary, but were unfortunately eschewed in the end of the Weimar Republic (because of his genealogical status as a "Jew" and his admonishment of "Jewish Subversionist") as the dictator, Adolf Hitler, instructed his disciples/minions to burn a large portion of his works and these works became contraband. A good portion has survived the Nazi book burnings, and many are still part of the formative generation of this new and interesting field.

If you want to learn more about the difference between "Sex" and "Gender" you can look into the illustrious life and career (and his most vocal patients) of Dr. John Money (PhD). His work exemplifies the field and you will gain further insight into the understanding of how we came to an understanding of how in the 1960's we developed the differentiation of the two terms.
