I am an old school gay person, I believe in fighting for the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transmen and tranwomen. Non-binary identities like 2 Spirit are of course welcome, but non-binary identities are so broad and sweeping that they do not belong in a community fighting for specific communities and people of specific experiences. I don’t want to get banned over your bigoted ass so I’ll just say this WE SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF EVERYONE, SPECIFICALLY QUEER PEOPLE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social constructs can be expanded and divided at will because they were practically invented from thin air, so there's no way there are only two genders. Some non-binary people consider themselves as genderless, some of them consider themselves a part of a third gender. Every person has the chance to view gender whatever way they want, and be the gender they want to be. Former First Lady of the United States.

Without "gatekeeping" MAPs or "minor attracted people" would have a letter in our acronym which is LGBT, LGBTQ, or LGBTQIA.

GGD continues to be an embarrassment when it comes to gender issues. If these bigots aren’t going to change I would at least love for the mods to shut them up. i just find words like "bigot" and "transphobic" are harsh words for people who have been part of and supportive of LGBTQ for most of their lives. They may well be wrong about how they're looking at non-binary and that can make non-binary people feel invalidated. but giving people harsh labels instead of helping them clarify their vocabulary and understanding isn't so helpful in my opinion. I really think so often this is an argument about vocabulary and NOT how people should be understood or allowed to live their lives.

It's very clarifying and I think it would be helpful to trans people by not relating sex to man/woman. It fits awkwardly in my mind, but i think the more clear our vocabulary gets the less awkward people will be about it. So obviously a gender reveal party is actually a sex reveal party. Or would should that be called? Language is not easy to change and requires a lot of time to cement new things that can fundamentally alter the way we use linguistic tools, but we're definitely making some progress. It will take some time, however, to change things on a large scale. And yeah gender reveals are essentially sex reveals. It's basically saying HEY MY UNBORN CHILD HAS A VAGINA/PENIS which determines sex, not gender. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two gender identities (man, woman) and they are based on the two sexes which is based on gamete production. I’d say that third gender identities is a culturally specific belief and not widespread. What gender would you assign intersex people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not, I've always known this part of my identity, since my youngest memories, before I even knew a word for it, same as many people who identify as trans, or gay, or lesbian... I've always known this about myself, I've always rested sure in it. Stop being so weird and exclusionary about us.
