WCDT Strips 3306 - 3310 (12th to 16th September 2016)
Perfectly Reasonable:
Reading the Menu Board:
Small, Medium, Large Extra Large, and What the Fluff
'Large Extra Large' is a combo of 'Large' and 'Extra Large' because they got tired of explaining the difference.
The WTF Macchiato is a work of art in steamed milk, and definitely worth the price.
Expect it to take a while, though.
Perfectly Reasonable:
New post because it's for Bleminda watchers everywhere:
'Bleminda' appears in 3113, 3126, and 3310. She wears square frame glasses, has shoulder length hair which she dyes in multi colors, and orders large lattes. In 3126 she protests at the Emily bestowed alias, but by 3310 she seems OK with it.

This reminded me to finally get around to updating my character list thingamabob...

A little dated, but that's inevitable given the fast pace of research. Excellent critique of the situation using psychological tests on cis people pre 2011. Ignores Intersex and Animal studies though, but that's necessary to support her overall thesis, one I mostly agree with because that's what the evidence says.
This book explains in detail why I wrote "Just remember that although the "gendered brain" model is appropriate to use when discussing gender identity, don't take it too far, most of what we call gender, and by that I mean 80% or more, is socially constructed. Biology is fuzzy too"
It goes a little further than I would have, but does an excellent job of showing the uncertainties involved when we ignore animal research and only look at cisgender humans, rather than trans and intersex ones too. Most of the traditional "gender differences" disappear when you look closely, or at least are shown to have a very thin evidential basis.
Sorry, it's not simple.
