Also, Joe? No, I would not want to be a Venusian. Their society sucks and I like being me and a human for the most part.
lets be real here
They/Them
Interesting how you created a character who's society you don't like.
Oh, I created a character who is from a shitty society so that he can have conflict anf flaws he can realize and overcome. And also as a reflection on how I'm currently living in a society I don't like but I still think I'm a pretty cool person and happen know a couple pretty cool people too
They/Them
Interesting to know. Also another question, if a Venusian is on Earth and wants to compete in sports what gender would one compete as because you said they are gender neutral?
i just spent the entire day reading comics and would have forgotten to eat if not for my parents haha...... yeah....
i need to answer people as well.... i'm so bad at staying in contact.........

It happens we all have those days. I sometimes get it when playing video games. I say a few more minutes, several hours later I am still playing.

The whole thing is set up as a confirmation bias kind of thing. It achieves nothing, the tests often are made with small samples and thus results are often meaningless (even statistically speaking), and it literally ignores nonbinary identities when the tests are made in adults. Your brain is not developed "differently" because you're born a certain sex, if it developed differently, it was as a way to cope to its ambient or to what it deals with. Brain plasticity is real and your body uses it as an adaptive tool, especially when you're young and people expect you to act a certain way and learn especific things.
They design those tests, as psychologists often do (sometimes by accident) to give them the result they want to see. Like say you're picking 8-month-olds from normal families for this test. The babies have already been exposed to toys/decor/clothing based on gendered ideas about aesthetics, and the babies will be likelier to go for what is familiar to them.YEAH EXACTLY
Unless you specifically get parents to sign up beforehand and make sure they expose their kid to everything or nothing from birth you can't reliably record whether a baby brain has some inherent biology based sexed preference for specific toys or colour, because guess what? Those babies don't live in a vacuum and weren't raised in a controlled setting from the beginning and thus you can't know whether the behaviour and preference you're seeing is an inherent quality of a human or a learned one, and this makes me super frustrated in psychological research in general.

Boi... loaded question aside they shouldn't compete against humans, period. That'd be like letting a greyhound race against a bunch of chihuahuas and expecting it to be a fair competion. It would not be.
But listen.I'm not comfortable comparing venusians to real life issues. They are a fantastical humanoid species that I made for fun, and I don't think it's apropriate for me to just talk about them like this without acknowleding that there is some really disgusting shit happening in athletics, where womens' hormone levels in particular are under the microscope because "you have too much testosterone to be competing in womens' athetics". Womens' bodies have been historically under a lot of constrictive medical scrutiny, and this is horrible even without going into how unfair and disgusting and invasive this kind of thing is for intersex and trans athletes.

Tests are usually inaccurate anyways because I feel a few 100 or even a few 1000 people are not enough sometimes for tests for accurate results. Like how movie reviews I don't go by because it's such a small number of reviews to how many people have seen the movie.

It's just really hard to get people to sign up and to get the funding that would get people to sign up
