And now we come back around to the reminder that while gender is a social construct, sex is the physical aspect, which is what you appear to be attempting to parodyI refuse to identify as human. I'm a Xenomorph now
A lot of transgender individuals do hormone replacement therapy, which effectively slowly alters their sex over time. It's obviously not DNA resequencing or anything, but it's kind of a mid-way point for the time being. Either way it's a very effective way to pass as the opposite gender, regardless of what your biological birth sex wasMaybe far into the future, someone or some people can find away to change sex as well, but then you could probably change a lot of other things too.
Unisex bathrooms were and are a thing before genders got out of hand.
so gimp costumes are totally normal to walk around in on a daily basis *noted*There's nothing sexual about someone who presents as either intersex or the opposite gender as they were born, though. It's a purely personal choice that they present daily, rather than just for the bedroom. It's not a kink, nor should it be
Don't exactly like your terminology, but why not?so gimp costumes are totally normal to walk around in on a daily basis *noted*
I would imagine the pvc would get very sweaty if worn in a business setting tbhDon't exactly like your terminology, but why not?
There's also XXY, XY female presenting (testosterone doesn't have the affect it normally does), XX male presenting (large levels of testosterone), and so on and so forth. Biology isn't as neat and clean as you'd hope. You just learn it that way because it's "close enough" for highschool level of knowledge, and that decision really needs to be addressed. Because if you want to be completely accurate, there's a lot more going on. Reality is far more interesting than you, and a lot of folks, give it credit. There's also a difference between sex and gender You're talking just about sex when talking about chromosomes, and you're talking about gender when you discuss how people express their sex.I agree with OP
There is only XX and XY.
Even if a guy cut of his dick, implant tits and use hormones it wont turn him on a woman. You cant change DNA
Please keep this civil.
Oh, I see, I assumed "gimp" was a derogatory term along the lines of "cross-dressing". That's obviously a big no-no, because again there's a sexual aspect there and no one else is consenting to see that in publicI would imagine the pvc would get very sweaty if worn in a business setting tbh
but again, you do you, just don't moan if people find nipple tassels and butt plugs a bit weird outside of the bedroom
Which studies are you referring to?I... Don't know what to believe. Today's society is trying to distort hundreds, if not thousands of years of study and research to fit a social standard. The sad part is that it's working. I don't care what you "identify" as. Means jack to me. Just don't try to tell me there are upwards of 80 "genders" that all have oddly sophisticated meanings. Life doesn't have to be so complex, but apparently that's not my choice, as a cis-gendered white male. Whatever the fuck that means.
Just a general statement actually. People who believe the earth is flat, people who believe NASA is a hoax. Standard tin foil conspiracies that 20 years ago would have been laughed at. Now more and more people are taking it seriously and "Idiocracy" is slowing becoming reality.Which studies are you referring to?
Reality and actuality are questionable anymore.I'm sorry I have to completely disagree with @TotalInsanity4 gender isn't a social concept, it's very definition is "the state of being male or female." and it has been for centuries, if not millennia, hipsters won't change that definition even if they try.
This isn't a discussion its strictly binary, you are either one or the other there is no other option.
Now sexual orientation is a different conversation, this has ever expanded recently in what I believe is related to narcissism and an individuals belief that thanks to the Internet, their opinions are paramount and take precedence above all others, that they should be acknowledged no matter how idiotic some of them are as whether through psychosis or actual belief that they are genuine. such as the woman who married a roller coaster, or the man who married his car.
Now before anyone says I'm not saying these feelings aren't genuine, I'm just saying for the minority, just because you say you are doesn't necessarily make it actuality... Or does it?
who are you to say I cant wear weird sexual fetish outfits in public you bigotOh, I see, I assumed "gimp" was a derogatory term along the lines of "cross-dressing". That's obviously a big no-no, because again there's a sexual aspect there and no one else is consenting to see that in public
Reality is questionable and you hit the nail on the head with that and your other comment. Idiocracy has become prevalent due to validation from other like minded individuals 3000 miles away, and so and so on until there enough like minded individuals all shouting in unison that others then pay attention, no matter how absurd the original premise isJust a general statement actually. People who believe the earth is flat, people who believe NASA is a hoax. Standard tin foil conspiracies that 20 years ago would have been laughed at. Now more and more people are taking it seriously and "Idiocracy" is slowing becoming reality.

Sexual orientation =/= genderSame here, I agree with OP (what's there to NOT agree with?)
Our DNA is made to basically have either chromosomes XX or XY.
Sure there are some instances where someone might be born with the sexual organs of both male and females, like it's the case of Intersex/Hermaphrodite, but taking into account nature and our genetic makeup of the human as it is, there is only female and male.
If you are a transvestite, a transsexual, a Trans-Am, a transylvanian or whatever, or have god-knows whatever sexual orientation (because damn I don't know where people come up with that stuff), it's a matter of psycology and personal preference, it's not a "sex" by nature.
There's Pantone and a names for many different shades of blue, red, etc. But I agree I think all these genders is a bit too much. Its too much too memorize, and its something most people wont bother with since the majority of the population straight. Only a minority are gay, trans, and so on. Not enough to spend time to study and memorize like a test just for a few people that think every shade needs a new gender.I think the problem is people seeing its a spectrum and thinking wow we need to give every shade of red its own category, oh and every shade of blue needs its own category, the people arguing "no its just red and blue" aren't saying there isn't different shades, they are saying the alternative is stupid and overly complicated

Again, you seem to think that presenting as a different gender than you are is some sexual fetish-y thing. It's not. It's just a person going about their lives, presenting as either the opposite gender or something between their current and the opposite.who are you to say I cant wear weird sexual fetish outfits in public you bigot
but seriously that's the point either its everything or its not, if its not then you cant take the moral high ground
sure its nice to think everyone can feel comfortable doing what they want, but that's what bedrooms and homes are for, if you want to do weird not normal shit your more than welcome to, just don't try force people to say "wow your choice to marry a peg is a great idea"
No need to memorize, just be respectful if someone asks you to address them by a different name or pronoun. It's really not difficult once you're used to it.There's Pantone and a names for many different shades of blue, red, etc. But I agree I think all these genders is a bit too much.
