Well, actually, nvm, string.* methods assume 8-bit strings, but utf8.codes and utf8.char do exactly what you would want.

This is also one of the reasons I did NOT choose Lua for xbot.

I have a legitimate question for those who subscribe to the "gender can change on a daily basis" ideology:
Why the fuck are you watering it down to mean "mood"? Wouldn't it be easier to just say that gender doesn't exist?

And before you say that it has to do with how you want to dress/behave/etc., isn't that a social construct, by your own words?

"stop asking questions I can't answer"

Yeah, sure, gender is a spectrum. With a distribution that resembles a cross-section of a mug.

Well, gender isn't either of those, it's what _you_ say you are. Granted, it mostly defines your appearance, but.. still.

Saying that gender is a social construct is complete bullshit solely because dysphoria is a thing, since if gender wasn't tied to biology, why would you suffer if your identity differs from your physical appearance?

Well, being excluded from society is definitely damaging to your psychology because socialization is one of your primary needs.

Fair.

That's true; I was using "social construct" as a tool to dismiss the argument entirely, as that's what most SJWs have been using it for.

I don't know if dysphoria is actually dependant on society, but from what I've seen from research on it, there's not much correlation.

(though maybe I'm wrong, in which case I'll accept your input on it)
