If/when a royal declares that they are not identifying as cisgender, how are we going to identify them? While America may have had Prince, and or the Artist formerly known as, we're a bit shorthanded in acceptable classical terminology for real royals. No?-- RayfordSteele, Jun 10 2019 No. Since numerous royals have managed perfectly well already without needing to modify their titles (for example, Richard I, a bisexual psychopath, and Edward II, bestest friend to Piers Gaveston) there seems no need to do anything..-- 8th of 7, Jun 10 2019 Bisexual is a bit different than transgendered, however.-- RayfordSteele, Jun 11 2019 I have greater acceptance of the shallow than that [big], I can tolerate them anywhere, but only if they're the gender I find myself sexually attracted to & pretty of course..
Umm.
[Pauses for thought]
Ah, it's probably a case of like being attracted to like then.
Except I'm not pretty.
[Pauses to be confused]-- Skewed, Jun 11 2019 Except. The word is except. I expect that you can accept that, exceptionally.-- RayfordSteele, Jun 11 2019 Damn my spelling & auto correct, always ganging up on me those two, fixed.-- Skewed, Jun 11 2019 It does pose an interesting question though, why aren't ugly shallow people extinct already? you wouldn't think they'd be able to find anyone to procreate with.
Does this perhaps point to the shallow-ugly gene combo being recessive?-- Skewed, Jun 11 2019 Networking skills, probably.-- pertinax, Jun 11 2019 it's actually an intriguing question for monarchies where succession laws are based on gender. Presumably there they would tend to identify in a way that gets them the throne.-- theircompetitor, Jun 11 2019 ... or rather, doesn't get them brutally murdered by greedy, intolerant aristocrats who think that a crown would go very well with that armour and that sword ...-- 8th of 7, Jun 11 2019 I think "Queen" can be used in a number of gender-other situations as it is. "King" is another versatile one, as in "those 'king royals!" or "Edward is 'king useless".-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jun 11 2019 Lillie Langtry would be the definitive source for the latter.
We initially misread the idea title as "Trains Titles for Royals" which since Royal trains are WKTE seemed a trifle redundant.
There is the amusing story of a late 19th century Central European monarch whose delight was to actually drive the Royal train. The train would stop just out of sight of its destination so His Majesty could climb down from the footplate and wash and change into his robes as the train puffed the last few miles.-- 8th of 7, Jun 11 2019 //There is the amusing story of a late 19th century Central European monarch whose delight was to actually drive the Royal train.

Well, go ahead and tell it.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jun 11 2019 After the reception we received when we told the story "It was a dark and stormy night ..." we are not inclined to acceed to your request.-- 8th of 7, Jun 11 2019 Yes, well, the fact that you were telling it in New Orleans, in one of the Katrina Refuge Centres, may have contributed to its poor reception. By the way, did the beer bottle come out OK?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jun 11 2019 Eventually, yes. The man at the recycling centre forbore from commenting, and we still use the "standing desk" we purchased even though it's no longer absolutely necessary.-- 8th of 7, Jun 11 2019 random, halfbakery
