In my view, there are only men and women. That is dictated by what you're born with.
If you are a male that wishes to go by 'she', i just believe you like things that are considered for women more than you like things considered for men. But i dont see that as making you a feminine man or something like that. Its just society making you think that way because it has to split everything and categorize everything. Which i think is stupid.
Thats an issue of today, we think that those who are trans are mentally ill, when they aren't. They just prefer different things and people feel the need to categorize it. People are not comfortable when someone does not follow the norm and therefore classify it as an illness. We are quick to say something is wrong with a person because they dont follow the norm. Thats not fair or right, everyone is their own person first and foremost. Yes, there are things that are legitimately an illness, but an issue with identification isn't an illness. Its a problem with how society decided to classify different things and say you must fall into a category.
For example a male that likes to play with dolls, thats not a problem. He shouldn't feel like he needs to be called by 'she' because of it. Its a very simplified problem, yes, but it gets the point across. I know there are many more complicated things, but I still say that falls under social construct and not nature.
TL;DR
There are only men and women. What you identify as is because of social construct, which needs to be removed (the social construct). But you are still a man or woman, which is determined by birth.

I disagree with the concept of gender entirely. There are 2 sexes. Man and woman. Those who use the term gender often believe that a person's gender can be many different things based on the way a person thinks or feels; how they see themselves. However, they will also say that Man and Woman are gender options. I'm sure we've all heard some guy say "I feel like a woman today", yet they can't tell you what that feels like. Even if they could, a woman who identifies as a woman would probably tell you being a woman feels entirely different. There are traits and activities that are traditionally or statistically associated with one of the 2 sexes, but wanting to do things that aren't typically associated with your sex doesn't change your biology. Personally, I think the tension about all this gender identity, transgender stuff would go away if we all would recognize that our contemporary understanding of the term "gender" is at best a misunderstanding. At worst, it's a fabrication. So again I say do away with the whole concept of Gender. Let there be men and women who do whatever they want.
Sex js sex gender is not sex
We don’t need gender. We need to remove socially controlled behavioral expectation for a person based on their sex.
Why do we need gender at all if everyone was free to Be who they are Independent of their sex.
If people get a sex change they get a sex change. Gender is meaningless. All it does is support sex based discrimination.
What good is to anyone did a person to assume a woman is going to be emotional when this may have nothing to do with her personality l.
Or that a man is going to be aggressive when he may be the gentlest soul.
It serve NO purpose. People will still gravitate towards those they get on with. We get to know people and decide if we like them
We apply for positions and our competency should determine if we are hired
How is it productive to linguistically brand people for life based on something they have no control over and has nothing to do with their potential.
Sex is important for mating and proper medical care.
Gender serves no purpose.
If men were not beat up for wearing nail polish and women were not raped for looking too masculine, no one would need to announce to the world they have switch graders, Bc they would not he persecuted by mixing their personality with the sex they were born into.
Trans gender only exists bc if the lunch mentality surrounding reversion from “ gender “ norms. Take away gender, you don’t have that problem.
Instead you want to add even MORE categories to reinforce original stereotypes that started the issue. Just get rid of them. Simple.

It’s defining who u want to be, not others to tell you what u should be. Gender doesn’t have to be explicitly male and female. A female may have a masculine energy. And a male could have a feminine energy. Or a person regardless of his/her gender can have both energy. In reality, gender just defines your physical looks. It doesn’t define u as an individual.

I have half masculine and half feminine energy.
This question is over complicated nowadays by spoilt little kids who have no real life issues. This question is not a society and political question. It is simply biological you are male or female by whether you have a cock or a pussy, now just move on with your lives and shut up
Well if gender is just about what you identify as and their are only 2 (or 3 if you consider hemaphrodites a separate sex) then how have we got to the 30 odd different genders? I can think of 5 which I could argue are legitimate those being man, woman, intersex, trans man or trans woman.
Gender has been used as a synonym for sex since the 1600s if you want to use it in its usage before then you have to take into consideration that caucasian is a gender, middle class is a gender even your family name is a kind of gender.
My point is that people who say sex and gender are different is bullshit because they will then say a transwoman is a woman. That doesn't make sense since male is a biological sex and man is an adult male therefore a transwoman is still biologically a male therefore adult trans women are men."male and female is determined by what's between your legs."
Male and female are sexes and are determined by your chromosomes, not genitals.
Man and woman are genders, they are determined by performance and appearance.
You're getting them mixed up. Though these are flexible definitions that people use in different ways. Sex and gender are often linked and used interchangeably.
Also you're going to make the "infinite gender" progressives mad by trying to categorize things as a masculine or feminine.See that thing between your legs that you pee and have sex with? That's your gender. If it's an inny, you're a girl, if it's an outty, you're a boy. If you have both, you're a hermaphrodite, or an F to M transgender. And, it doesn't mater if you've got a man-made inny, you're still a woman.
I have a penis there for I am male. But this male also wears womens clothes.
But I have more Masculine energy then feminine energy. So I would say I'm 60/40 mix.
So what gender am I. Answer a human male. No matter how you put itGender is whether you're a dude or a chick. And if you're not sure, take a look 'down south', and stop being so dippy.
Simples...Biological sex and gender mean the SAME THING. God made us EITHER male or female. One or the other. Only two. NO more, no less. God intended females to play female roles, and for males to play male roles. Females will ALWAYS be females. Males will ALWAYS be males. If you try to transplant sex organs from one sex/gender to another sex/gender, you will only have freaks with damaged minds running around.
If you think it's anything else then biological sex, please explain to me why we should care about gender in the first place. What's the point of having the word if it doesn't mean anything of substance?
You're pretty right on the money, except that people who don't identify as their biological sex don't use the words "male" and "female". So, what you've outlined is what's already happening ;)
Why not simply call them X or Y? That way there's no bathroom confusion? How many people really have this problem? Shouldn't we tackle something else rather than waste our time on a few freaks that can't decide on a bathroom?
female and male. That's it. PERSONALITY IS NOT GENDER.
There is only two genders male and female and are dictated by nature and birth. Trans people are just mentally ill
It's also based on by biology. You either have XX chromosomes or XY. There is no genderfluid or binary. Just male or female, that's it.
I identify as a fucking flying spaghetti monster mk2
If only it was that simple. There so many variations between being male to being female...
Gender to me is the reflections of a society on the behaviour of humans in that society, and how that society attempts to deal with this biological reality.
Probably evryone Agree and i think its a grammar mistake. And what you talking about is not energy, its leftist/rightist (or any other) ideilogies, philosophies.
whoever wrote that arricle i bet was a male trying to save face. And for any man to think that sex was how or why a woman had more control in a relationship should say anything nothing and just cut their loses or chose their battles more wisely
you are so wrong ! read your bible and ask God about your sex since you do not know what sex you are
