GenderQueer Theory Explained

[Anonymous]

The point of this myTake is to give you a basic understanding of genderqueer theory. The point isn't to change your beliefs.

Introduction

Cis female

Around 50% of the population. It's a non-transgendered female. A naturally-born woman or girl whose psychological gender identity is socially female also. Prefers pronouns such as she/her/herself.

Cis male

Around 50% of the population. It's a non-transgendered male. A naturally-born man or boy whose psychological gender identity is socially male also. Prefers pronouns such as he/him/himself.

Intersex

Very rare. It's a general term used for a variety of conditions (chromosomes other than xx and xy) in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. Psychology gender identity may or may not be intersex. Preferred pronouns depend on the person.

Trans (male to female)

Rare but more common than intersex. A transgender person: a person whose sex is assigned male at birth but the psychological gender identity is socially female. Prefers pronouns such as she/her/herself.

Trans (female to male)

Rare but more common than intersex. A transgender person: a person whose sex is assigned female at birth but the psychological gender identity is socially male. Prefers pronouns such as he/him/his/himself.

Bigender (male and female)

A person whose sex is either male, female or intersex but their psychological gender identity is both socially female and male. Preferred pronouns are he/she/her/him/his/himself/herself.

Agender

A person whose sex is either male, female or intersex but their psychological gender identity is having no gender at all. Preferred pronouns depend on the person.

Gender fluid

Sex assigned at birth is either male, female or intersex. Gender fluid is a gender identity which refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, neutrois, or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities. Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances. Preferred pronouns depend on the person.

Gender questioning

Knows what their sex assigned at birth is but is confused about what their gender is. Preferred pronouns depend on the person.

Other

Few others are third gender, demiboy, demigirl, androgynous, two spirit and anything that I didn't mention.

I'm really triggered by reading your definition of a Cis male as a "non-transgendered male." Why should males be defined in term of the negation of transgenderism? It's like referring to intact penises as "uncircumcised." The thing that is normal shouldn't be defined in terms of that which is abnormal. So I'm just triggered as fuck.

Sorry bae <3 didn't mean to trigger you

What if I prefer to be referred to as a demigod?

[AleDeEurope]

So many words, when it's just so simple. 2 genders: Male and female, the rest is just bullshit people who are insecure and unhappy tell themselves.
