I don't see how that video somehow disproved the entirety of feminism. Also, the reason why it's liberation for women and not men is because men already have the advantages in everything. Especially white men. Heard of white privilege? And no,white privilege is not the idea that all white men are already rich the moment they're born. Look at it this way.

A white man might not be able to buy a house,but it won't be because he's black and people think he'll decrease the property value.

A white man might get shot by a cop,but it won't be because he's black and automatically assumed to be a threat.

A white man might not get hired but it won't be because he's a certain race.

A white man might get sxually harassed at work,but it won't be because he's a woman and being objectified.

A white man might get murdered, but it won't be because he wasn't thought of as a human being.

Being white,and being male automatically gives you the advantage in that you're not being discriminated against,so there's no reason to fight for their rights,because they already have all of them. It's women and non-whites that don't have all of those rights,so it makes the whole society thing pretty unfair for them.

And now for your basic biology lesson. There are 2 genders, male and female. You are born with this, and remain with it for your entire life, nor are there any "in betweens". You cannot change this in any way, except through surgery, which even then only changes appearance, and not your actual gender.

Gender is defined the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones),so technically speaking,you are what society accepts you as. And since most of society is okay with tr@nsgendered people that means that when they go through the surgery,they are changing their actual gender. Also note that it's defined by societal differences,meaning that if society decides to add more genders,poof! THere's more than just the normal 2 now.

It's a matter of scientific fact, not what people's opinions of your state are

Sx is scientific fact,not gender. Gender is societal definitions.

The two terms are synonymous with each other

No.
either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and many other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions.
That's sx.

the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
That's gender. Read a dictionary.

And, putting the beliefs of this whole thing aside, why, exactly, should we bring something like this to a kids' game, where many children are of an age where they wouldn't even understand things such as this, and would just put down the gender they are in the first place?

Because there are tr@nsgender children who wouldn't be sure of whether or not they should put male or female,as they're uncomfortable with the gender they are. If you remove gender as an option,or add an other option,you're making everyone happy. With no gender option in the sign up,that's one less step that excited children have to go through to play some great games,but with an other option,the unsure children can pick that if it makes them more comfortable.

I highly doubt that the target audience of Roblox, mostly younger children and early teenagers, would understand the concept. Almost positively the lower end of the spectrum, for the most part, would have no idea of this, and perhaps the higher end of the spectrum would have some idea of it, but for the most part, no.

Also, if you would like an excerpt of the definition that proves it is also based on biology, and not just a person's mindset, "...partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics"

Children can totally go through tr@nsgenderism. Children are capable of some pretty mature thoughts,considering that 2% of prepubescent children go through depression,and 4 out of every 400,000 children commit sucide helps show that children are capable of going through these mature sort of things. Just because they don't have the right vocabulary to describe it or were never explained the concept doesn't mean that it's not there. They still go through it,they just don't know that they're being different for it.

Comparing gender to depression isn't accurate, as one is a choice, while the other is brought on by circumstances around them, and is not really a choice as much as it is just caused by having a tough life.

Oh I get it if you are a boy or a girl or you are both there should be a Trans option?

Kitten, no offense, but you truly have no idea what you're talking about in regards to both depression and gender/s_x.

As someone who has gone through both depression and gender identity issues since a young age,I know that neither are a choice. They just happen.

The definition is "denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender."

"self-identity"

That definition doesn't say that it's a choice.

After some thought, I suppose I can see how it's not a choice. A simplified analogy could be being unsure of whether to order chicken wings or a hamburger at a restaurant. One is unsure of the choice because they like both, which isn't really a choice, it's based on the taste buds' reaction to it, which would in turn mean they aren't unsure because they chose to be, but simply because they want "the best of both worlds"

But, that doesn't change my opinion that something like this should be introduced to roblox, considering the age demographic of it and how few this would apply to.

It's closer to how you can't choose whether you're black, white, brown, or somewhere in between.

That's a good enough way to describe it for the moment I guess. But I kinda want either an other option or some other thing to help whatever small minority it would apply to feel comfortable a bit more. Or they could just make the option in sign-up not be required,which would be a simple fix not noticed by most people.

So you DID watch the video; you just ignored everything she said.

"A white man might not be able to buy a house,but it won't be because he's black and people think he'll decrease the property value."
I'm pretty sure judging buyers on race is already illegal. There have been lawsuits over it.

"A white man might get shot by a cop,but it won't be because he's black and automatically assumed to be a threat."
White men also don't commit 52.5% of homicides, despite being 63% of the population.

"A white man might not get hired but it won't be because he's a certain race."
See Affirmative Action.

"A white man might get sxually harassed at work,but it won't be because he's a woman and being objectified."
What other reason is there to be harassed like that? I don't get your thinking.

"A white man might get murdered, but it won't be because he wasn't thought of as a human being."
See the previous comment. Your thinking is absolutely confusing.

"Being white,and being male automatically gives you the advantage in that you're not being discriminated against,so there's no reason to fight for their rights,because they already have all of them. It's women and non-whites that don't have all of those rights,so it makes the whole society thing pretty unfair for them."
I think you need to watch the video again.

I didn't actually watch the video because I assume it's just going to be some random guy or girl saying that feminism is a lie and then just spouting off a bunch of random pyschos and assuming that all feminists are that. Plus I'm kinda too lazy to watch it right now.
