That’s a difficult question because there isn’t a definitive answer. Gender and sex are often used interchangeably but they aren’t the same thing. Sex is biological and there are only two sexes. Gender is more of a social construct, a range of characteristics that define you as masculine or feminine…. or something else. The concept of the word has evolved somewhat because the human race has changed and gender identity doesn’t neatly fit into two categories anymore. In my mind, there are really 3 genders…. masculine, feminine, and non-binary. Non-binary is kind of an umbrella term that encompasses everyone who doesn’t fit the traditional masculine/feminine mold and have characteristics of both. Some people attempt to break this down further but it gets confusing (to me anyway). Then you have agender, which is the absence of any gender identity at all. I know this is controversial to some people and I’ll probably get hateful comments for it but denial doesn’t make it go away. Fearing change doesn’t prevent it from happening.
@ElizaPam I would respectfully disagree with you. A social construct is basically just a shared assumption by society. Gender characteristics that are deemed “masculine” or “feminine” were something society labeled and accepted as reality. At one time it was accepted that gender and sex corresponded with each. Now it’s mostly accepted that they are not, hence transgender people. Granted, most of what I know about this is from formal education but it does make sense to me.
@ElizaPam I’m not intending to argue maliciously but I am trying to understand and I thank you for being patient with me. I think clearly there would be a psychological factor but when a person identifies as male or female, doesn’t that include adopting the norms, behaviors, and roles society associates with that gender? Isn’t it becoming female in most every way except biologically?
I'm transgender because I want a female body and sexual and reproductive roles. That's why I believe I'm a woman. Not because I want to stay in the kitchen or become a hairdresser or makeup artist or whatever. I feel like it's important to point this out because people assume I'm transgender because "I'm a guy who likes girly things" and they ask "why can't you just be a gay guy?" when I'm not even that girly there are gay guys way more girly than me. I'm trans because I want a female body and I want to be a mother and wife. Everything else is just what I like it has nothing to do with being trans.
@ElizaPam Fair enough. I suppose I shouldn’t assume that there is a uniform way transgender people discover and outwardly exhibit their gender. I think being someone looking from the outside in, I’m getting too caught up in external factors that I can observe rather than your internal experience. Thank you for sharing. I’ve enjoyed the conversation.
No. Some cultures traditionally only consider two genders (e. g. most cultures close to Christianity and Islam), while other cultures consider more, and some others don't have a notion of gender.
Since you're writing on this forum, in English, I assume that you are familiar with some of these cultures that consider gender to be binary (i. e. only two gender options). You probably also known that some people define their gender in a way that doesn't fit in the traditions of their culture. E. g. non-binary people use a gender definition that is less traditional, and works better with their own gender.
It's not accurate to say there are only two sexes, biologically. Biology doesn't really care that much about sexing individuals. You are thinking about roles in the reproductive function (hosting egg, and fertilizing it), which indeed are two. But not every human can reproduce. Classifying people into two reproductive roles kinda works for some reasons (e. g. if you want to have children, you know) but not everybody fits in that classification either.
I added some more stuff about this in the answers to this question: What’s the difference between Sex and Gender?
No. That wouldn't make sense. Of course there is more realistically and in biologically there is 3? so don't know where you got 2 from?
Intersex been a mixture of both making the 3rd the in-between With a current degree of speaking of actually up to more than that since Intersex can be XXY, XYY and etc, each extra chromosome can be looked at as a different sex since biologically it is very different we just chose to categorise them more to there outwards appearance for social reasoning.
So anyway i say to this biological fact right here physically, if that don't lead you to understand there can be In-between gender aswell and you really only think it's black and white as there is only 2. Then your just ignoring what this clearly shows.
Nvm i haven't even talked about how the actual psychology works behind it, i've just given an example of how it would work in a physical form so of course it can work in a psychological form. But i can tell you there is plenty good reasoning in the psychological works of it too.
One can choose to remain in his fantasy that everything is black and white though, and the creatures aren't super complex.
No. There are only 2 sexes. Biologically only 2. (Male and Female). Unless a person is born intersex, but thats only around 2% of the entire population.
Gender is a social construct, I call it how I see it. If I think you are a woman ill use she pronouns, if I think you are a man I will use he pronouns. Feel free to correct me, but don't expect me to give a shit. Or at least care enough to keep up with your pronouns or whatever gender you identify as.
I hate how obessed modern society is with lables. I treat people based off how they act, not by what they identify as.
@ElizaPam Gender is a social construct. That is a fact, not my own opinion. I assume you feel invalidated by that, and you most likely see it as an attack. Look... you being trans is valid, but you shouldn't argue against biology as a means to defend yourself because it just shows a lack of understanding and in the future if you use that argument you won't be taken seriously. Biologically you were born either a man or woman. Whatever genitalia you were born with determines your biological sex. Now, that has nothing to do with you being trans, that is just the biological component alone. This may help clear things up: "Though sex categorization is based on biological sex, it is maintained as a category through socially constructed displays of gender (for example, you could identify a transgender person as female when in fact she is assigned male at birth). Institutions also create normative conceptions of gender." So you see... gender is in fact a social contstruct, but that doesn't invalidate you as being trans okay? You identify as a woman, that's fine. But if you want to grow as a person you need to accept that the facts are still there, but luckily to your advatnage they don't have to limit you or restrict your identity. Don't confuse sex with gender. I hope this helped a bit.
Motherhood is a "social consruct"?
@ElizaPam saying “gender is a social construct” doesn’t mean that gender doesn’t exist or it’s fake. It means that the way people think about gender is influenced by their culture. Binary gender is unique to certain cultures, it’s not universal. This shows that the understanding of gender is social. But gender itself is a very real experience, and trans people are the best witnesses of that.

The more you try to define biological genders or what a man/woman really are the less it makes sense and less meaningful they become. They might make some sense in or society which is why we use them as part of our identity however the moment you get into biology our common understanding of genders simply break down since that is not at all how biology works. In fact, biology rarely do anything based on binary yes or no choice (such as male or female) so this is hardly a surprise.
Saying its a spectrum is more correct and it also translates better into reality where you can use it to explain many oddities that a simple male/female definition could not but this is also fundamentally wrong. Biology dont give a fuck about "male" or "female" and is just doing its own thing. We can arbitrarily claim one part is male or female as it smashes them together but in reality its really nothing that defined and just a product of random mutation.
Perhaps my favorite biological fact regarding "genders" is that the male chromosome is unstable and the reason it is shorter than the female chromosome is because it is slowly falling apart and will disappear entirely within time. Of course this is still a long ways away, 10 million years perhaps or even longer. Point is that Biology dont give a fuck about "males" or "females".
It has produced "biological sexes" before "males and females" where a thing and it will do so after both of them, as we see it, disappears. As such while it is interesting and important on a biological level and a psychological level to argue about the complicated details of gender it is a conversation that quite frankly makes no sense to us normal people and carries no real value to our lives. As such we can pretend that we have two genders or, if we are so inclined, that we have a spectrum that we fall within even if both are wrong.
There are two genders.
Anything else is personality.
The most uncomplicated question in the world just 5 years ago. Yes, of course. You can change your appearance, you cannot change what you are. You can lie to people and tell them you are something you are not, but that won't change what you are. You can force other people to indulge your lie by coercing them into using words that don't actually apply to you, but that will not change what you are.
Sadly, the fall out and the casualties from this multi-gender fad is going to be tragic. A woman who takes testosterone, will never be able to reverse what it does to them. And men, less so, but still cannot fully recover from estrogen therapy.
I know a parent who is going through this, because his kid got this tranny shit in his head by his online "friends". The man is in a living hell and it's not funny. The whole family is suffering mightily because of what this kid is doing.
Sadly, for this guy and for many, this fad will pass and his son will be permanently altered in such a way that he will not be able to live comfortably as a man or a woman.
You should calm down. I'm not trying to change what I am, I'm a woman. I'm trying to make my body comfortable and be happy. I'm not lying about anything. What you see is what I am. My body and face isn't a disguise. I transitioned at 14. It's not a fad or a phase I'm 27 and still love being a woman!
@ElizaPam Good for you. This isn't targeted at people who have genuine gender dysphoria. I know it's a real disease and sometimes the only option is to change your body to match your brain.
My beef is with the fad and the fashionability of it in the present day causing a lot of young people to make decisions that will alter their bodies for the rest of their lives, without very, very heavy scrutiny being ascribed to the motive of many people today.
Real, actual, measurable legit gender dysphoria is very rare. Too many young people are getting caught up in the 'bro-science' of online chats and woke-ass peer groups who will celebrate them disfiguring themselves, for now. But 10 years from now, when all their cheerleaders are gone, they are still broken, alone and permanently disfigured.
When I wa young it was sex, drugs and rock and roll. Now it's religious ideology, sex hormones and virtue-signalling pissing contests. I hate to be old fashion, but I think sex, drugs and rock and roll was much safer than what kids are involved in today.
Gender was sex until people decided to change the definition (which anyone can do) so let's suppose that gender and sex are different.
I've heard countless times that the reason people want to be classified by a different gender is because they feel like they don't relate to the "typical gender roles" of men or women, which is irrelevant because one does not need to be the typical member of a gender to be part of that gender. For example, I can act like a parrot and "feel" like a parrot (whatever that means) but regardless of that, I am a human. I am not being stopped from behaving how I choose to behave.
Regardless of that, the reason the classification of biological sex is used is because it has utility. As far as I'm concerned, gender identity has no utility and unless I'm incorrect, it does not need to be a question asked by application processes.
The only purposes it serves are to burden OTHER people with the task of remembering these pronouns, to give unnecessary power to attention seekers and to allow people to be at peace with lying to themselves about their biology; none of which are beneficial.
Interesting question. There are 2 parts to my answer.
Yes, I think there are 2 genders. At the end of the day, there are men and women, boys and girls, male and female. Anything beyond that is our own interpretations.
While I believe this, I also believe that every person has a right to their own identity and that should be respected, as long as it is not harmful to anyone else. If you were born Joe and you would like me to refer to you as Johanna and she/her, I’ve got no problem with that.
I think the second part of your comment describes personality.
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. It doesn’t change the point of my comment regardless.
You're not very nuanced are you?
Might just be No Nuance November.
Saying this is going to be controversial.
And basically what I believe is this.
there's only man and woman.
Male and female.
If your sex organs are of either or the other then you are one or the other.
Occasionally people are born with both and that makes them intersexed. In most cases the parents opt to assign a gender for the baby, but very few leave them for their child to decide when they are old enough.
If someone has surgery to change the gender they were born with they would be classified as a transgender.
Two genders and a whole lot of moods and oddities. Just because you dont fit all of the stereotypes perfectly doesn't mean you can invent new genders and be taken seriously. Until "orcish chieftain" is a gender, there are only two. If orcish chieftain, which would be my choice of identity, is considered gender, it no longer has any connection to sex. I think we are on a trajectory to exactly that at this point. Unless the crazies give up, the word gender will lose all meaning beyond "whatever you feel like, what inspires you, what you would like to be if you could".
Or a conservative revival takes over and we land back in the realm of reality. I don't mind either way, honestly.
There are two biological sexes, male and female. There are physical exceptions similar to a handicap, eg DNA showing your neither fully male neither fully female. These exceptions are not too widespread and should be treated as medical issues to help with.
People can express their gender as they wish, they don’t hurt me with that and if they’re happy with that, who am I to comment. My issue is with gender reassignment surgery, people should not cut off healthy body parts. This fits for me in the category or self harm and deserves all the psychological/psychiatric it can get.
This topic is flawed.
There are no 'right or wrong' answers, yet people believe there are. So they continue to fight, and fight, and fight. But at the end of the day, who cares what another person thinks, believes, or says. Just move on with your opinion, and ignore the other people if it bothers you to that degree.
There's no reason for this to turn into an argument. Just move on and ignore it. Let people do what they desire. You don't have to like it, but NOBODY has a right to say someone can't do something when it is not hurting anyone else (This goes for both sides of the argument).
Simple answer: No.
As this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender states, most societies have binary genders: male/female, but there are other genders as well, depending on the society.
From my high school biology class, all humans have combinations of X and Y chromosomes, XX for female, XY for male, but there are some people who have an extra X or Y chromosome as well.
There are two genders and seventy-two different types of gay.
When you order a shirt online there are two different ways to size it. One would be male and the other female. Data for disease is categorized as male or female not anything else. To believe that there can be more than two genders is to not believe in science. If you want to be something you aren't go ahead and be that, but do not try to confuse everyone else.
MHO right here!
@Shoichiro I disagree. I have a different definition of man. I'm not forcing myself to live a particular way because of my biology. I have no reason to. You can disrespect my feelings and wishes and call me a man. Why not. You have that right. But I know I'm a woman. And I LOVE it!!! And you are just a very rude m, disrespectful person.
@ElizaPam You can disagree all you want and keep posting Takes to seek validation from strangers online for your transitioning. However we are also free to stick to facts and disregard your incorrect opinion. You could still be a man but with a feminine character. Plenty of dudes who are that. If you do not like opinions of others, stop seeking for it from total strangers online and stick to living your life. Or go back to your LGBT bullshit safespace
@TruthBringer no I could t be a man with a feminine character because IM. NOT. A. MAN!!!
@TruthBringer "You could still be a man but with a feminine character." Exactly. People seem to think that life is some kind of roleplay where you are forced to act like the typical example of a man, which is clearly not the case. The definition of a male does not include any characteristics other than being the sex that is able to produce male gametes (sperm) which can be used to fertilize a female. So I am not aware why people are extrapolating other non-essential characteristics.
@Shoichiro I am not a feminine man. I'm not a man. I'm a woman.
Yes there's 2 genders. Not all gender roles or behaviors can clearly be sorted in either of those 2. So they can end up somewhere in between. People are currently trying to give this in between sports new names and assign genders to them. Which is bullshit. there's just man and woman. There's also neutral but that's not a 3rd gender. That's just not a gender.
Then there's intersex, which is a term for rare deformities of the primary sex Organs. That also isn't a 3rd gender. That's either man, woman or both or a mixture.
This is nothing but a word game and it all depends on what definition you want to assign to the term gender. For centuries, the word term gender referred to your reproductive organs at BIRTH. If you have a penis, you belong to the male gender. A vagina, you belong to the female gender. Simple.
Nowadays, there's are people who want to change that definition and have the word "gender" be self designating and use another term to denote which reproductive organs you're born with. It's about trying to change the meaning of the word to accommodate the new terms for what certain people want to be recognized as.
I don't think it's a scientific question anymore unless we can say that there exist more than two such classifications for each of the dimorphic species. It's like an artistic question. Like, am I a dragon? I can feel like one and I can pretend I can fly. "Whooosh! Rarrrgh!" [set fire on village]. There are actually people who legitimately seem to think they are; they're an even smaller minority than transgenders but they exist and they truly seem to think they are dragons or horses or whatnot. But at the end of the day, they're human to me, just like anyone born with a penis is a male. I'll call such a person "she" if I know them and that's what they prefer, and I might play along with an otherkin saying, "Oh no, there's a dragon in the room!" I want to make them happy. But I can't pretend that hard to not notice some obvious things.
As for anomalies like intersex, that's such an anomalous case. We don't classify things based on such anomalies. There are humans born with six fingers but we say humans have five fingers because 99%+ of humans have five fingers. If we account for every possible categorical exception, we'd never be able to communicate effectively in the first place.
But you know, I think it's now in the realm of arts and humanities, not STEM. When I was young gender and sex were synonyms. People have hijacked the "gender" part as well as words like "male" and "female" and "man" and "woman" and made them subjective in ways no external observer can classify without questioning the subject. So that's "art" to me, not "science". "Gender' has become "art".
Hm. On the one hand, science says yes. On the other hand, some pasty faced internet crybabies with purple hair and an exaggerated sense of their own self importance say no. Who to believe?
I'm going with science.
There are two genders. There are more than two ways for those genders to be expressed in a human being. We have male, female. We have intersex and XXY mutations. But as a gender, there's two.
There is a wide variety in the ways those genders can be expressed. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and Peter Dinklage are both men. You couldn't find two more vastly different specimen though.
Just because you're a man who likes pink unicorns, doesn't mean you're a woman, and you can wake up one day feeling like you want to wear a dress that day, it doesn't mean you're 25% woman or something. You are human. You have one gender. It can be expressed in a variety of ways.
Here endeth the lesson.
There are two sexes. Gender is a spectrum that aligns with the two sexes.
Sexes: Male and female
Genders:
You can be masculine - leaning more towards characteristics associated with the male sex
Or feminine - leaning more towards characteristics associated with the female sex
If you can align right in the middle of the spectrum, that is where you'd get the term non-binary, but most people who use that term just share characteristics of both sides and want to feel that they are somehow different from everyone else...
"Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time." - WHO
Technically there are 3. Cause there are intersex people who are born with either both or one and part of male and female genetailia.
However, there are other physical differences between men and women separate from the genitals and many people who claim to be transgender have been found having these traits which are more common to the opposite sex.
I think the issue here is a behavioral one. Stereotypical behaviors associated with the sexes are being challenged. It's not an easy topic to deal with since a lot of our society is based on sexual stereotypes.
Take for example the life of drosophila melanogaster, the 'fruit fly'. There are probably about 5 or 6 different genders based in the distribution of chromosome pairs. There are very masculine flies that go for very feminine flies and there are more androgynous flies that go for other androgynous flies in the middle of the spectrum, typically these mating pairs are sterile. There is a reason for these flies in nature. There is a reason for the spectrum of human sexuality and it's natural for some of the population to be infertilite.
Yes, there are only two sexes and therefore two genders. It's not a popular opinion now but I don't care.
Two, though one could argue four if you include gender-atypical as a separate gender. Gender and sex mean the same thing, so there is the majority that fits this mould and the roughly 10% who are atypical in that they have a male/female typical body and a female/male typical brain.
I just wish we could be less shitty to people who don’t fit the mould and there would be a lot less issues around this divisive topic to begin wirh.
Yeah, I’ve found most transgender people I talk to in person vs online are more frustrated than anything by the whole gender spectrum argument. It kind of invalidates your transition in a sense to say that you’re a shade of grey rather than one or the other.
Online tends to be where people get into the gender spectrum side of things but that’s more cultural Marxism than science as there’s no real foundation to base that idea off of other than natural human variance.
For humans there is only two. Biological as we know it there can be four combinations. But being born without sex and having both sets are basically abnormalties that society doesn't need to take into account. If the few that it applies to get to pick it's no big deal. But this crazy idea that gender is a choice and not biology needs to stop. It doesn't help anyone.
As far as I'm aware, yeah there are two sexes.
Gender on the other hand is completely a social construct, but the way I see it there are generally three genders which are girl, boy and non-binary. Things can go deeper than that and there are lots of labels but they generally fall under those categories, and the way I see it if it's not hurting you then there's no reason to be an ass about it.
Sincerely a genderfluid person
To some sure, I'm not about to invalidate someone who sees it that way and I know some do. It's like people who lean into gender stereotypes, that's your view and your choice, but it's not mine
@ElizaPam By the current definition of gender, it is definitely a social construct. You are not a woman so there's no need to feel invalidated that you have to say you're a trans-woman, because that is exactly what you are.
Unless you manage to change the cells in your body to female cells, you will remain a male. There was no way to become a female in the first place so feeling invalidated is not necessary because you signed up to becoming transgender using a method that would guarantee that you'd remain a male.
@Shoichiro I'm a female on the inside
@Shoichiro I feel I'm like a woman on the inside. I want to be a female. I wnjoy doing things women do and looking like a woman
@Shoichiro I DONT GIVE A FUCK
@Shoichiro I can't call myself a man and be a woman. that would be retarded. I can be a man and call myself a woman but I can't call myself a man and be a woman.
@ElizaPam You think calling yourself a man and being a woman is retarded? I disagree. That would just be lying if you were actually a woman; it's not necessarily retarded.
What I DO think is ridiculous is your logic because somehow it's ridiculous to call yourself a man as a woman but it is not ridiculous to call yourself a woman as a man. You are the same person that's been calling people transphobic but you've just uttered "transphobic" comments.
@Shoichiro I'm a woman calling myself a woman it would be retarded to call myself a man
@Shoichiro well I'm not calling myself a man because that would be retarded. "Hey everybody I might look like a woman and have boobs from taking estrogen and I live as a woman because that's what I look like- but I'm a man." see how stupid that would be?
Dude shut tf up, I am sick of getting notifications for this especially, just say your fragile masculinity can't deal with people being trans and move on.
@not_a_twinkie Whether or not you're tired of getting notifications is not my concern.
I also don't understand how anything here is linked to one's masculinity being fragile (whatever that means because social justice warriors such as yourself love to throw around their keywords thinking they sound educated).
@Shoichiro your masculinity is fragile when you're constantly afraid of being considered feminine and hate feminine things because you're "supposed to"
@ElizaPam Again, I don't know how you spawned at this conclusion. You happen to be correct that I don't want to be perceived as feminine, but that does not mean I am even at risk of being perceived as feminine (which I am not as far as I'm concerned) so there is no reason for me to be constantly afraid of being considered feminine.
I am not the way I am because I am supposed to be, I just am the way I am (which is probably the case with MOST men, hence the formation of the idea that men are supposed to be how they commonly are). I am also grateful that I'm not anyone else.
You seem to think it's an insult to not want to be feminine.
@Shoichiro Men will be afraid to be perceived as feminine and homosexual. A man's "manhood" is something a lot of men take seriously. I'm just sick of people being mean to me because I'm trans and it's not really women that threaten me and act disgusted in my presence and all that shit. It's men who gotta prove they're masculine and heterosexual by being mean to the trans woman.
Sex is biological, gender is social construct. I believe there are 2 of both, however what someone chooses to 'identify' as is completely their choice and I have no issue with it. I just think let people live and be whatever or whoever, who cares as long as they aren't bothering anyone
@ElizaPam www.ons.gov.uk/.../2019-02-21 Number 8 (Summary) Just to save you looking. Good for you though <3
Only millennials come up with shit like this. A lot of people that didn't get enough attention when they were kids, now want everyone to treat them special because they "identify as a rock". Uggg. Yes, boy or girl, girl or boy. Pick one. I don't care which. Those are your choices.
Two. It's like asking what kind of deep space mining astronauts are there? Well the real answer is zero. But there might be 100 if we include stuff we see in movies. Just because you put on an astronaut's outfit doesn't make you one. Likewise just because you claim to have invented a new gender doesn't make it reality.
2 genders. Why else would Covid data only have 2 genders? Why do most polls only have 2 genders? Because they’re only 2 genders. People wanting to be something , does not mean that, that is reality.
People don't always make fun of you and treat you mean. People don't call you freak and monster. You get to have a family. Guys like you. Guys want to hurt me. Your body makes its own estrogen. My body would be gross to me without my medicine. My self esteem is shit. Most of my happiness comes from daydreaming about being cis. I can only daydream about your daily reality. You're cisgender. You're normal.
Can I ask are you 'Seen' as a freak, or are you being bullied by people who are making you think the word freak is a bad thing?
I too am nervous about my nose for instance, yet I do not let others make me think, I have disproportionate face, or ugly features because of how I am, or who I am! I walk around normally thinking 'OK, today I can' Try' do something and Try push the entire world out! Mental block, listen to music, calm relaxing music, or whatever you wish to, and just sit and think! 10-15 minutes max!
Without accounting for the neutrality of gender, two
There has always been 2, and there will always continue to be 2 and has always been differentiated by social and cultural roles and behavior of people and in linguistics.
In regards to human beings, I can't deny the variability of human being's ability to define their roles within the boundaries of this scale between the masculine and the feminine genders. But there is still, only 2 genders.
.. to add
People should be allowed the option to identify with whatever they want. If a person wants to think they are a cheese pizza, that is their right.
The one absolute thing I will not condone or tolerate is one person or group feeling a sense of authority to dictate to another what they should or should not do
2-3 (depending on how hermaphrodites are counted)
Yes, "gender" & "sex" are synonyms according to Cambridge Dictionary.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gender
Is it bad to say, I wish I was female!
My brain does not work as a 'Male' type!
I often wander what it would be like, to see if the females I like are actually into me, or my personality is 'Different!'
I am always in two minds to have a sex change, but I actually want to have kids! Kids of my own!
Sex change costs a lot of money, and I am wanting to be happy in the body I am in!
100% Straight for the record!
I am glad you decided to do what you want!
Being a father will definitely suck, I do not wish to go through the entire process to either decide it was not a good idea! Or I find someone who actually wants me for who I am!
Just wondering, how can you even understand how a woman thinks like, when you have never experienced being a woman?
I lived and grew up with women, and was bullied and beaten by males pretty much my entire life!
Being 'Belittled'
@KieranBryne that still doesn’t add up to me. You being around woken doesn’t mean you think like them entirely. To each it’s own, but it truly doesn’t make any sense to me.
Women**
@kyleelyn199723 because I am a woman. I feel like a woman in every way. I wanted to be a girl in my earliest memories. Everything about being a man looks wrong and everything about being a woman feels right. I want to be a beautiful woman with a loving husband. Not a handsome man with a beautiful wife. Having breasts feels right and having a penis feels weird.
I have "Too many feminine qualities" this is what has been told to me!
I was psychology attacked by females whom think they are men! And men who are just do not understand as they address me as being gay, and want me to do stuff to them and for them!
I suffer with 'Disassociate Defective Disorder' from PTSD, and like to keep my life in a specific order or setting!
I apologise that you do not understand!
The only other way to explain is, if I was born a female, I would have been a whore!
I am glad I am born male, yet still have the want to be a female!
I guess it is jealousy,
Or I like being in control of who I am!
Does this help explain?
@KieranBryne still doesn’t make sense because having feminine qualities doesn’t make one a female, but it’s your life.
Thank you kayleen "You have never experienced" I left the out 'being the women' because that right there shows! People go through different things in their lives!
I am sorry you do not understand, and if anything happens to you in the future to make you feel 'Indifferent' then I apologise for that also!
Kyleelyn, I would like to apologise for pushing my 'Opinions' or past onto your direction, this was unjustified, and I should not have brought up the past in order to try and put a point across! I hope you can understand that my brain does not feel like it functions the same as what other people like to think it does!
Best wishes, I hope to sleep now!
Good night! 🤝
I would like to apologise to the owner of this thread, it has become quite a mess with comments!
@kyleelyn199723 above comments!
I think there are two primary genders, but within those two genders there are distinctions which society mostly doesn’t care about. We like to pigeonhole people based on those two. If your gender is female then you should like this, act that way, and do these things, etc.
This is why people invent other genders, they want to be seen and respected as individuals, not as stereotypes.
Well, according to the dictionary, sex and gender are not different things. They are synonyms. So, no, there are not more than 2 genders. However, there are many different gender identities. As many as can be imagined. Gender and gender identity are not the same thing.
Well, I’m the 90s,
https://youtu.be/jCR6gS8QQjkhad a video saying there are only 2 genders. All they did was censor it. This is all about politics and getting people away from believing in God. It’s got nothing to do with your actual health.
If your brain has been corrupted by the socialist regime, then you may think there are an infinite number of "genders". God made two sexes - male and female. Gender stuff is simply the evil one driving wedges between us.
lol the amount of people that throw the word socialist into unrelated conversations is hilarious.
@Curiousgirl2414 You'll learn - - - -
(Peeping out the window looking for socialists)
@curious
He used the wrong word. He meant Bolsheviks. When complicated mental gymnastics is required to explain there are more than 2 genders, that there’s systematic racism, that inverting your penis makes you a woman, and all these manner of bizarre and degenerate concepts, and then act as if people who don’t believe in this horse crap have something wrong with them you’re not just a socialist. You’re a Bolshevik.
If you cannot see there are deliberate attempts to indoctrinate Americans to these concepts and cannot see there is clearly a segment of the population using the liberties we have to internally have a communist revolution in this country without firing a shot then you’re not a Bolshevik but an idiot.
This is all politically motivated and is coming from the left. Stop treating messageman like his stupid.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Exterminatore I'm conservative, I believe in capitalism. I'm Christian, Inverting my penis doesn't make me a woman. Being a woman on the inside and looking like a woman and living like a woman makes me a woman. my body doesn't define me
@eliza
I’m glad your conservative. Thank God for that. I consider you an ally and hard no ill will towards you nor hatred.
I mean this with all respect and kindness. Going forward with this conversation I have questions that I mean no offense by nor ask with malicious intent. How can you be a woman if you have XY chromosomes? I don’t think you can be a woman. I think you are a man, who does in fact look like a woman, dresses like a woman, and lives as a woman but you’re still a man. It’s more than genitals that make one a man or a woman. I think what you are is a man who lives as a woman. The problem is the differences between male and female go beyond the ability to bear children and genitals. Different: neurology, bone structure, muscle mass, hormones, chromosomes, and many many more things. You can’t change those things. I think perhaps you feel like a woman but yet are still a man.
In regards to Christianity I’m going to share a few scriptures with you and I’m curious what your reaction is to them.
““No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.”
Deuteronomy 23:1 ESV
Sex changes operations are nothing new. They’ve only improved. This is not referring to some freak accident where some man’s testicles were crushed or a war wound where a man lost his penis. This is referring to deliberately doing this to one’s self for the sake of transgenderism. Clearly this would be defined as sin.
@eliza
“Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from his people”; and let not the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” For thus says the Lord: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast my covenant, I will give in my house and within my walls a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.”
Isaiah 56:3-5 ESV
Here is God pronouncing forgiveness for the transgender if they repent. Ones who refuse to repent are cut off, but ones who repent the Lord forgives.
““A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”
Leviticus 18:22 ESV
These are the things God commands regarding homosexuality, transvestitism, and transgenderism.
Then we find this:
“And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,”
1 John 2:3-4 ESV
Meaning one who is born again (one must be born again to go to heaven) generally lives in obedience to the Lord. Jesus cannot be anyones savior without being their Lord.
“Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
1 John 3:8 ESV
Here we see whoever practices sin is not a child of God. Meaning whoever willfully lives in disobedience knowing better and fails to repent is not of God.
“No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.”
1 John 3:9 ESV
@eliza
1John3:9 states whoever is born of God does not practice sin. Meaning does not willfully live in sin because he has been born of God and the Holy Spirit lives in him, and the Holy Spirit will bring the person under the conviction of sin and prompt repentance. Certainly one may sin for a time but the child of God hates sin and will always repent sooner or later.
Jesus said these things and they need no explanation:
““Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?”
Luke 6:46 ESV
“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””
John 8:31-32 ESV
““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 7:21 ESV
So I ask you given these scriptures, how is a transgender lifestyle compatible with Christianity. Willful intentional obedience or partial obedience is still disobedience. One must repent of one’s sins.
I humbly ask you to re-examine your lifestyle in accordance with scripture and how that is possible with true saving faith.
I say to you also I’m not judging you. I have no heaven or hell to place you in. I’m not God, nor did I write the Bible, I’m simply telling you what it says. I myself am a sinner born into iniquity and saved by God’s grace. I am not casting stones at you as I need to beg God’s mercy and forgiveness daily. I’m simply asking you a theological question as respectfully I think you may be miss informed about your lifestyle and God accepting it.
biologically there are more than just male and female, many people are born intersexed, with a mixed of male and female chromosomes
that is called hermapherdits. and they are typically raped at birth. just like man are male gentail cuting. can leave a man with painful erects, chronic ptsd depression, and rectail disfuciton aas well as painful sex for woman, and finally.
worst case scuiced.
It’s a separate sex, there are many chromosomal combinations where there is no way to divide into male and female, they are simply intersexed.
There's only two genders male and female. There's no third gender whatsoever intersex is not a third gender it's called a hermaphrodite condition and that's extremely rare
@Zealashton that’s a third sex yes, as for genders there are MANY because they are social constructs, like rqce
Science has compartments to organize and study things. Society and people need not force them on ourselves or others at the expense of happiness, as long as life isn’t threatened.
See what I did? Defended trans rights, and pushed vaccines in one go. Boom.
(Drops mic)
Genders are stupid, it's a bunch of socialisaiton garbage from feminist theorists.
There's just sex. Always has been, and until 60 years ago nobody would have tried to tell you different.
I do believe that there are biologically two genders. But gender in society is fucked up. It's too problematic for me and I believe in science although I get death threats for expressing my own opinion.
haha true
There are biologically 2 genders? What? LOL.
Gender doesn't exist in biology. Do you mean that biologically there are 2 sexes? Male and female?
Sex and gender are different.
Have you actually gotten a death threats for talking about gender? I mean actual people in your life threatening to kill or beat you? I have received about a dozen real life death threats since beginning my transition into a woman at 14 over 13 years ago. People literally don't want me to exist because God made me different. Why are you acting like the victim? Im the one that doesn't belong.
@ElizaPam Says the one triggered...
Yes, I know people who are trans and have asked me about my opinion and have been threatened with "You better watch your back cause someone might stab you in the back" and someone got my phone number and started saying he/she will come to my house and splatter with blood my walls with unbelievably censored words".
Well you're poking the bear. You're telling a traumatized and mentally disturbed individual things that you know will upset them. I'm not justifying it that person was probably a freak. But I don't understand why y'all fuck with our trauma to get a rise out of us then act like you're so innocent and we're fucking animals.
Yup, there are only two. And you are what you are born with. Anything else is what we call having mental issues.
@ElizaPam If you do not want people to be mean towards you, then learn not to be mean towards others. Whether you're trans or not is not my business and you should do whatever makes you happy. At the same time, you need to respect that for other people. You can't play victim when someone decides to retaliate to your initial hostility.
By the way, this was in response to your other comment on another post.
Depends on your ideology.
If you're of the mind that gender is "in the mind" then there are hundreds.
But if you're a rational adult, then only 3: male, female and attack helicopter.
Yeah 2. But you can be both and you can also be neither. Gender is fluid.
how can you physically be both or neither if your born with a wiener? hey that rhythmed!!
Gender and sex aren't the same. Someone can fluctuate between both masculine and feminine and another person can not identify with either just kinda somewhere in the middle.
lets go brandon
Seriously...
😂🍿
@Smashingdoozy These guys were ahead of their time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDpGsFI3WNg
Mm no. Just because something is more prevalent in media doesn't mean it's not always been there. It has you just didn't notice it from under your rock.
What you believe doesn't matter. It's scientific fact that gender and sex are different.
Actually scientific books on animal species use gender names and symbols to refer to the biological sex of a given organism. And humans aren't able to change genders like some fish or frogs can.
issuu.com/.../spiders_and_their_kin_-_a_golden_gu
The dictionary also has this to say on gender:
"Gen-der n., Gram. Any of two or more categories, as feminine, masculine, or neuter, into which words are devided and which determine agreement with or selection of modifiers or grammatical forms; the quality of being of the male or female sex." - Webster's dictionary, Landoll Inc. 1997.
So yeah, gender = biological sex, and a lot of gen z are just illiterate with words, it's why urban dictionary exists.
@TheSpaceGnome ya but who reads the dictionary anymore? it's more fun to just make stuff up.
We aren't animals. We're humans ☺️ we have great intelligence. Animals do not.
That talks about males and females yeah? Those are sex terms not gender terms.
And of course a definition from the 90s is gonna say that. Normalize discovering new things and changing definitions. Which has happened hundreds of times and you've never noticed, you only care because for some weird reason gender being socially constructed scares you.
Humans are animals, specifically homonids, which are a subset of apes.
All animals are capable of intelligence of varying degrees, some as much as we are, and gender = biological sex.
There is no such thing as "socially constructed gender" (that phrase doesn't even make any sense)
Gender is about sex organ quality. You can't just say sex organ types are suddenly "personalities" just because you are dumb enough to stereotype people.
There is no male or female way of thinking, and changing definitions to words is stupid when no new evidence gives a reason to do so (especially when the only reason people use the word gender wrong today is because they didn't read a dictionary as children).
To me it seems like you are the one scared of that fact that gendered mentalities aren't real, and that all your catagorized stereotypes about how a man or woman should think are just wrong.
@TheSpaceGnome ha! nail head, hit, hammer
@whosnumber1 @thespacegnome
Have a read through the following.
www.ons.gov.uk/.../2019-02-21
Westernized countries are so brainwashed when it comes to gender 😂 so many different cultures have more than 2 genders.
@ChrisMaster69
"The UK government defines gender as:"
a social construction relating to behaviours and attributes based on labels of masculinity and femininity;"
Except that, from a scientific evidence point of view, you cannot tie gender to behaviors, you cannot tie masculinity or femininity to behaviors, or tie male and female traits to behaviors, so this definition is based on a falsehood built on gender behavior stereotypes and non replicable "studies". It's a description that relies on the fictional idea that men and women think differently, and then it tries to say that if you think like the sex your opposite of, you are suddenly that sex, or both, because fuck just accepting stereotypes are wrong apparantly, and sorry, but thats just retarded. .
So what.. Just because a gov official is an idiot, I should be one too? Nah. Definitions should be logical. Your gender (sex) is whats between your legs, and thats it.
"gender identity is a personal, internal perception of oneself"
No, it;s determined by physical examinination, your personality has squat to do with your gender. you could be a man, woman, hermaphrodite, or neutered, and still have pretty much any personality (except maybe sex crazed ones of neutered).
"and so the gender category someone identifies with may not match the sex they were assigned at birth"
Incorrect, as I mentioned above, your sex has no bearing on your personality at all. The only way a person would think their mind is one gender and their body another, is if they wrongly assumed mentalities come packaged with genitals.
"where an individual may see themselves as a man, a woman, as having no gender, or as having a non-binary gender – where people identify as somewhere on a spectrum between man and woman"
Thats not how it works, the spectrum is genital arrangement, male, femake, various hermaphrodite types, neuter, etc.
The countries who think genders are mentailies are brainwashed into agreeing with gender stereotypes.
mentalities*
Yep including the US..
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/232363
@ChrisMaster69 I'm aware, it's still incorrect.
Some people in the US also think the definition of being lewd is a sin, or that being a certain race carries an inferiority definition, and thats present in mostly any other country too. Most people are stupid.
It doesn't matter, incorrect is incorrect.
@ChrisMaster69 Instead of posting articles about what illogical people think, maybe try having a valid argument tying sex to behavior?
Whats the point if tying sex to behavior, if you are then going to use that point to claim any sex can have either behavior? it's circular logic.. It's like saying yes because no...
Either sexual gender effects behavior, thus gender is a mentality, or people of any sexual arrangment can have any mentality, thus mentality is not a gender.
Pick one, you can't have both. but if you pick the former, there are lots of crossdressers and tomboys who would prove that wrong.
@TheSpaceGnome I don’t need to, if governments and leading Medical places have done this and I agree, then why should i.
Some people, still live in the 6th century it seems.
The world has moved on since they burned witches at the stake
@ChrisMaster69 "if governments and leading Medical places have done this and I agree, then why should i."
Because think for your fucking self you dolt..
People like you who buy into whatever illogical bs you are told are why hitler gained so much power.
Seriously, wtf lol.
@ChrisMaster69 In my opinion, being a follower instead of logical is whats going backwards for society, your witch argument is better used against your gov argument than it is against mine.
@TheSpaceGnome no I looked at the facts about 20 years ago and made my decision then.
This is something most people have already been doing for a while.
Where as some people are unable to think it through and use a dictionary as that must be true as opposed to a bunch of people working it out…
Yeah some random guy on the forum knows more than a number of governments, congratulations
Peopke burned witches at the stake because they bought into an authority figure's bs, just like you are right now.
@ChrisMaster69 the dictionary I used is from 1997, I picked that one specifically because thats when definitions still made sense in US dictionaries. if I just wanted to just follow whatever a dictionary said, instead of what was based on evidence, I'd pick a newer one.
Making your mind up 20 years ago based on fiction, ok, but thats still being a follower.
@TheSpaceGnome wow
I’ve interacted with some incredibly stupid fuckwits on here, but like totally wow.
You win , stunning,
Hats off to you
You can have you own view on this, not even going to discuss it with an idiot, as it’s pointless.
@ChrisMaster69 translation, you have no valid argument.
@TheSpaceGnome look mate you are either a troll of fucking stupid.
If you do not accept a government department informational document as proof, a US medical info page and you go on about only reading dictionaries from 1997, then there is zero proof that you would accept,
You are a stunning arsehole, I was aware some across there were fuckwits but Jesus you are seriously deranged.
@ElizaPam Actually pam, it has no infuence on bahavior at all. men who act "feminine" generally get called girly for cultural reasons, and then to fit in, they have a sex change operation, making them transgendered.
But their behavior isn't actually tied to anything female, as they are male, and are bahaving that way, so it's still a male behavior.
Their existence is proof that gender isn't a mentality.
If I put on a skirt in the US, people would make up gender bs about me, call me girly, etc.
Now if I did that in scotland, kilts (skirts) are manly, do people would be less likeky to call it girly behavior.
It culture, not sex, that creates "gender behavior norms".
The entire thing is peer pressure and culture vs individuality, and them buying into the idea that they aren't the same mentality as the sex they are born with, because society says they should think like A if they have gential arrangement A, and if they think like B, that must mean somethings off.
It's a really destructive mentality to have to tie genders to minds tbh.
Also, since sex change operations are not able to change a functioning penis/testicles/male prostate into a functioning vagina/ovaries/womb, or vise versa, trans people are actually genderless. Because they have no functional reproductive organs, so they fall under the neuter catagory.
A man who wears a dress is still a man, a woman who wears pants is still a woman.
@ElizaPam I mean with enough makeup or surgery, I could fool someone into thinking I'm a woman too.
But no, after years of studying wildlife and the people around me, woman = female reproductive organs.
I can guess who's female, but with how good medical changes and makeup are, sometimes you would need some kind of internal scan to tell.
That doesn't matter though, because I know a lot of men and women who break personality/interest/hobby/way of thinking stereotypes. I don't need to confirm everyone's gender to see proof that mental genders are a cultural fabrication.
I'm not interested in seeing it any other way because it doesn't make sense to.
@ElizaPam if you never had a surgery, you aren't trans, so there is a second lie, and if you had had surgery, you would be neuter, not female.
You think/feel/act how you want, but don't expect others to give up logic just because it upsets you.
No where in my rant did i "shit on you", I simply don't agree with how you define things, or that gender stereotypes are based on reality
That's all just a bunch of happy horseshit. Look in your pants - whatever ya got that's your gender. The rest of all that is made up bullshit to placate the insane.
There are only Male XX's and Female XY's. X0's XXY's sometimes turn up but they are not distinct sexes and are not "intersex" development errors. All the others are the product of mental issues: Gender dysphoria.
Ouh this is simple, there are only two sexes and that many genders how many said language supports. There are ones who only support two genders there are ones with multiple genders, including animalistic, undefines and other oodities.
Word gender has its roots in linguistics and grammar, it should not be used in other context.
Only 2 genders. Anything else claimed is a mental disorder.
Yes I do
All this gender nonsense is constructed by people who just want to make themselves unique. It means nothing to other people. I don't care how you feel, it is how you are perceived by others.
I think shemale she or he have all body parts mixed.
I am not sure if all shemales have big body like I have seem 3 .
There are the two sexes: male and female. But there are many modern genders. That's actually something I've been studying. I'm doing a report on the different genders and lgbtq things
For me, yes. And this is how I will raise my kids. However I don’t hate anyone and I won’t raise my kids to hate anyone either.
There are only two real genders and hundreds of bullsh*t, fake, made-up genders created by mentally ill, crazy people.
@YoMan1
Regarding your update, I'm aware sex and gender are (now, since the Left likes to redefine words) "two different things." As in, sex is now biological, and gender is now personality wise. However, gender is still defined by sex. Even before the whole Trans insanity going on right now (not to say they are all like that), you had Tomboys/Dykes and Twinks/Fairies. Masculine women and effeminates men. They weren't acting like some kind of genderless robot or amoeba or what have you. As in, their masculinity or femininity was still derived from behaviors common of ONE OF TWO SEXES.
Most men are masculine, thus have a male gender. Most women are feminine thus have a female gender. Even women who act like men are still acting like the OTHER gender, and vice versa. At "best," you'd have pure androgyny but that would be closer to being "genderless" (like a robot or AI) than a new gender.
Thus, regardless of sex, there are still only two genders. Unless you're literally a robot or jellyfish.
If somebody is saying “it’s a spectrum” they actually listened and believed what their teachers told them. In other words, they are brainwashed to the core
You have penises and vaginas. Then You have penises in vaginas making more penises and vaginas. Questions?
There are two sexes and two genders only.
Anything else is a fabrication of the mental illness pushed by the Jewish Communists of the Frankfurt School.
Yes there are only two genders. Now do what you want with you body and life that's your business but as far as I am concerned there are only two genders and no can convince me of anything differently in that regard so don't try.
Two I guess. Why would there be more genders than male and female?
If you’re a “he” who identifies as a “she”, fine. If you’re a “she” who identifies as a “he”, also fine. Still, it’s one or the other. You can’t identify as something that doesn’t fundamentally exist, so the answer is two.
3, if you count intersex.
Or lets just go wild.
In that case i want to be an attack helicopter 💥
How about usb🤔😁
I have nothing against trans people or etc. People should be able to do what they wan't with themselves.
The gender of the body and the state of the mind are two different things.
I personally think the lgbt should come up with another term, where to classify all the 70+ versions they have discovered so far.
Similar to psychology calling different behaviour patterns/beliefs with different names and such, as it is already doing it to everybody.
So the word gender doesn't technically mean the exact same thing as the two sexes. I am a firm believer that your X or Y chromosome defines if you are male or female. But I'm not going to be an ass about someone wanting to be a particular way.
Ok this wasn't my intention to cause drama.
@TexasRed95 you didn’t cause drama hun, this is just a highly controversial topic.
Wow, why are you belittling someone for being happy for wanting to be who they are or wish to be?
If someone kept belittling you all your life because you wanted to purchase a handbag, or wanted to have your teeth cleaned/whitened by your dentist, or get a tan how would you feel?
Seriously people you are sick!
@KieranBryne I am not belittling, I am stating facts. Wanting your teeth cleaned and a purse has nothing to do with pretending to be a gender you will never be.
Please read every comment, after searching up the word 'Belittlement'
@KieranBryne Again wanting a simple purse and clean teeth have nothing to do with anything. Finding happiness within yourself is not starting arguments on a forum with people that don’t agree with your lifestyle. Simple.
People who have Autism, or another type of special needs have been shown to have xxy or yyx gene! An added chromosome, or a percantage have the x or y gene missing!
@KieranBryne Autism has nothing to do with gender.
I mentioned because the comment owner says about the X and Y chromosome!
I merely felt or wanted to look 'Smart!'
@kyleelyn199723 you're the one starting arguments. I just want to help people understand so someday the world will be a better place for us and no little girl will have to experience what I did. I'm so traumatized. You're just trying to put me down while I explain how I feel. You're the one arguing, I'm explaining.
@ElizaPam you have literally replies to everyone’s comment that goes against your lifestyle. I commented on three to reply back to you. You are choosing to put yourself down by choosing to interact with people that don’t agree with your lifestyle. If you like your lifestyle, that’s all that matters but you are literally trying to change peoples minds on this post
Personally I do not have anything against people who take hormones, I wish them all the best! I just wish they knew that it can cause a massive imbalance when it comes to critical thinking, and hope that the person keeps in contact whkth whoever has issued the hormone treatment to them!
14 year old is quite an age to have the change, and i will not say it should not be done! I am no medical expert or surgeon, only the brain does not fully develop until 30 or 30+ years of age!
I hope this helps!
@KieranByrne I don't care what you say, part of passing as a woman is not going through male puberty. I would not be alive right now if I didn't stop male puberty. I had to watch my friends get more beautiful while I got more hairy and bulky. I was going to kill myself without hormones. Being trans was a matter of life or death to me. I'm glad I'm still alive today even if you would've preferred me to kill my self.
I never said that I wanted you to kill yourself, and hope you Do Not, you insinuated that you want to kill yourself in a previous comment towards kyleelyn!
I only mention these hormone replacement treatment can cause an imbalance to critical thinking!
I am glad that having the change has kept you alive, and you feel you would have been gone by now if it was not for you having the change!
With respect go get some sleep!
@kyleelyn199723 I'm an actual transgender person. It's experience not opinion. If you're too much of a jerk to listen to the perspective of the same people you're putting down then... I hope some day you know what it feels like. But I will remain a beautiful woman happy in my feminine body and I will continue to make love to men and go to the restroom where I blend in- the women's room. And most importantly really I WILL be a mother some day. Bye.
You openly*
@kyleelyn199723 I just always try to help people understand so transgender people in the future won't be treated as mean as me and won't have to hurt so much. I like to think because of people like me little trans girls in the future won't hurt so much. No 14 year old should hurt as much as I did. I hate feeling so bad about myself I feel like a gross freak! For 13 years now I've been treated like a monster and I just want to be happy!
@ElizaPam you arguing with people on GaG won’t influence someone’s already made up mind about how they feel. It just shows that you aren’t even entirely happy with yourself like you claim to be. Happiness starts with yourself. Sounds like a lot more going on with you than just what others have to say.
@kyleelyn199723 I just always hope someone will listen to an actual person who has had to live this for half her life and understand better. If I can help 1 person stop being mean it would be so worth it! I'm not really happy with myself at all being transgender ruined my whole life and now I'm super sad and super scared all the time. But being God's special girl is the one that about being transgender that makes me smile! 😊 I smile so big knowing God hand picked me to be such a special girl!!! 😃 I bet being cis is so magical!!! 🥰 I'm sooooooooo happy for you! I just wish you didn't want to rub in how lucky you are and make me feel even worse for being different. Why would you want to hurt someone who's biggest dream in the whole world is to be like you? I bet when I adopt my reborn baby doll you're going to make fun of me and say my baby isn't real either when I just dream of being a mommy too. In heaven you'll stop making fun of me for never having dreams come true and feel super happy for me after my biggest dream ever finally comes true and I'm not an oddball anymore!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ElizaPam is it not a fact that you are born a biological man? Where was I making fun of you? You are trying to insinuate that you think like a woman and it’s a fact that you have no clue what being a woman feels like or what women think like. It’s all facts but this is where I don’t see you as a conservative because you are choosing your emotional being over logic.
yes. basically if you have a pp you're a guy and if you got a vagina you're a girl. there are no other genders
And you will never be me!
@ElizaPam you're a guy then. just having features of a woman, being feminine as a guy doesn't make you a woman, I'm sorry about that
No shit. And some of us are born in the wrong gender.
Just because someone is something don’t mean their completely something. You can be left and pro abortion or right and pro choice.
@VanillaSalt well being trans isn't political to begin with how I was born isn't politics
Was talking to wowgirl and meant pro choice and pro life
@VanillaSalt yeah I still don't get why she brought politics up
Caitlyn Jenner nearly the Governor of California… named misspelled don’t care.
@VanillaSalt Sodom and Gomorrah you mean?
You wanting to be a woman does not mean that you were born the wrong gender
@ElizaPam hun I didn’t call you a liar, I am just saying you can’t feel what you have never been. I can’t sit there and say I know how it feels like to shoot sperm out of my privates because I’ve never done that before and can’t feel for myself what it feels like. You can be whatever you think, but you aren’t a woman.
@kyleelyn199723 there's more to being a woman than your genitals lmao. I don't see why you expect me to fake an entire personality because of my genitals. I want a vagina, it looks comfortable, having a penis feels weird and I don't use it. So how about that? You want to make it about genitals m, I hate my penis. If feels horrible. And I know having a vagina would feel good. And before you say I can't give birth- no shit. Like many women who are infertile I grieve over that fact. And when y'all rub in the fact that I can't bear children it hurts more than anything. But I do pray one day to be a mother ❤️ I know that in heaven you'll see my female soul and you won't think I'm making shot up anymore. And yea you did call me a liar by comparing me saying I feel like a woman to saying you feel like a sandwich
@ElizaPam being a woman starts with you genitals. Who said I wanted you to fake an entire personality? You already already pretending to be a woman because you think you know what being a woman is like. I rub in your face that you can’t bear children? How dear you? I have endometriosis and it’s harder for me to bear children. You don’t have a female soul, you have a male soul. God doesn’t accept anything more than straight male and women that do what he says in Heaven.
I will say, stop your bickering, this is not nice and disrespectful for the person who owns this thread!
I hope they have turned notifications off!
@WowwGirl I believe in 2 genders. And I believe God made me female and put me in a male body. That's not liberal. Im just a trans person, I've had to think about these things every day of my life. Y'all only think of the subject when you see a trans person you want to invalidate and remind that they're a freak. How I was born has nothing to do with Trump and guns and abortion.
@WowwGirl, When it comes down to it, does how she identifies really matter? As long as there is mutual respect for each others right to have their own opinions, I’m personally happy to see more minorities who are associated with more typical left leanings identifying with conservatism and/or liberty minded ideals.
Yes. Even if you believe it is a spectrum... there are two sides to a spectrum 1 and 1,000,000,000 are both positive numbers on an infinite spectrum. -1 and -1,000,000,000 are both negative despite -1 and 1 being considerably closer to each other.
Only 2 genders: male and female. Anything else comes from a confused mind that needs a suitably qualified professional to check it out and is unnatural.
