Im shook. hermaphrodite is for snails, not people. people are intersex. "hermaphrodite", like "homosexual" is a patologizing term, mostly used as a slur against trans/gender non conforming people. 6 minutes ago, KingOfTheClouds said: So true. So much identity terms these days that are new. I cant. The older I get the less in touch I am with new things. I didnt know what cisgender was til like a few weeks ago. there's nothing new about these "identity terms" actually. non binary genders have been around long before the gender binary was imposed by imperialism. "cisgender" is pretty easy, by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's not so much that "a, b, and c" belong to boys and "x, y, and z" belong to girls, but really it's how people identify themselves. For me personally, I do fall under the genderfluid spectrum. An example is that I personally don't care what pronouns you use for me: he, she, they, whatever, as long as I know what you mean, I'm fine. I know, that may seem like a trivial thing, but to someone who identifies as a man, then they'd use the pronoun "he", and for a female, "she". It's not like they're interchangeable because, gender plays a bigger role in society than we think it does. I get what you're saying because not everyone does 100% belong to each "gender", but the concept of genderfluidity, in my opinion, comes from a general consensus as to what gender is and how it defies each and every one of us. Because, you can identify as a man or a woman doesn't mean that you can't fall somewhere in between. To that last point though, you could say that about the LGBTQ+ community. We're just "human", so why do we need a community? All i know is im 100% male lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard the word cisgender or gender fluidity til the other day. And somehow thats going to make me ignorant for not knowing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't about the photoshoot, but more because of the article that was written. the writer was like omg zayn wears a girl t shirt he's embracing genderfluidity!

I get it, genderfluidity can be really complicated, and even to a lot of people in the LGBTQ+ community, it's something we need to embrace and educate about people more, because it's very real and even though it affects the tiniest bit of the population, it's still a valid thing.
