There are only two genders?

in #gender8 years ago (edited)

Ok, I understand the two original genders, but a bunch of people seem to say that there are more? How can someone identify as something other than male or female?

I get the idea of the presence of different sexual preferences (straight, gay, bi, asexual), but how is there other genders?

I also understand there are trans people (professionally diagnosed with gender dysphoria), but they still identify as either male or female correct?

Are people are confusing gender with gender roles? Gender is not a social construct, but gender roles are.

New York City just recognized that there are 31 Gender Identities.

I would like to go thru them with you all. They are:

1.Bi-gendered
2.Cross-dresser
3.Drag King
4.Drag Queen
5.Femme Queen
6.Female-to-Male
7.FTM
8.Gender Bender
9.Genderqueer
10.Male-to-Female
11.MTF
12.Non-Op
13.HIJRA
14.Pangender
15.Transexual/Transsexual
16.Trans Person
17.Woman
18.Man
19.Butch
20.Two-Spirit
21.Trans
22.Agender
23.Third Sex
24.Gender Fluid
25.Non-Binary Transgender
26.Androgyne
27.Gender Gifted
28.Gender Blender

And Milo Stewart is one of the most influential people of this movement and she says there Is infinite genders.
At the same time she says this too.

The title was changed. title use to be: all cic people are transphobic.
So, even though she is one of the main voices of the movement, I cant take her serious.

Ok so, with all that said we haven't even touched otherkin, furrys, therians and so much more.

This is otherkin

So,

At what point does it stop?

I will say this as simply as I can, There are only two genders. You are born with a XY (male) or XX (female) chromosomes. You're biology defines gender, not feelings or opinions. You may be able to change out the parts, but your biological makeup will never change.

It doesn't matter what people feel like they are, if you have a cock you are male if you have a pussy you are female. It is nothing but people trying to be different. They feel insecure about who and what they are... Why is there any debate over this topic?

With all of that said I would like to tell you all something I have been hiding.

:/

This is hard to say but.....

I sexually identify as an attack helicopter.


Please refer to me as apache from now on.

I hope you have a wonderful evening all and thank you for letting me vent my frustration and come out of the closet about being an attack helicopter. I feel a lot better now.

Sort:  

i was going to reply but this whole thing is even too much of a waste of time to make fun of. civilization is going into the toilet. if this is all we're doing to change it, there is no way back.

It's sad but at least we can laff at it right?

ok, i suppose. if every mental state gets a bathroom, how about napoleon-gender for people who think they are napoleon. that's not already a gender, is it? how about supervillain -gender, because that is what i wanted to be when i was a kid. what would a supervillain's bathroom look like,anyway? oooo, like a lair. with a pool with sharks in it. this bathroom's going to be expensive. oh noes, those aren't sharks!

Don't forget the frickin laser beams!

I sexually identify as a SU-35 jet Apache
:)
What pronoun should I use?

Sue is kind of smexy. 8D

is she wearing a dog/bitch collar?

Yeah she is otherkin, she thinks she is a wolf.

Dont worry Apache, and start using your Hellfires

8D Thank you for understanding.

Ha! Good job my friend, good job!

Thank you. it got me a flag. 8D
