Genders?
November 13, 2016 at 2:33 pm
Alright, I know some people are going to get pissed off but I have to know.
Do you guys think theirs more than two genders?
Just any of you?
I can't find an agender, gender fluid, etc. person who isn't leftist or feminist or "progressive", regressive, liberal, authoritarian, socialist etc.
who has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria
Why is that. I don't want anyone to be mad. It's just that I genuinely ask this because I'm unsure.

Yes there's more than one gender. People can be agender, bigender, genderfluid, etc.
Gender =/= sex

Why? How can you be in the state of "no gender", "two genders" etc?

I technically come under the "genderqueer" umbrella, I just don't talk about it much or openly present as such.
Personally, I don't see it as a whole new gender, I just see it as being a state of in-between-ness. That really depends on the person though, some people consider it a whole new gender while others don't.
I do honestly think some people on Tumblr are a bit too trigger-happy with inventing new names for things. I mean there's literally about 50 different terms now to describe some kind of state of being "in between male and female" and/or "both", and I find it both un-necessary and confusing. I think if we want the mainstream society to take us seriously as people who are not "fully trans" per se but are still gender non-conforming, we need to agree on no more than a few terms maximum to describe ourselves. Take it seriously, if you want people to look at you serious while calling yourself a "pansexual omnigendered demiboy" you're asking a bit much.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Why do people identify as different genders instead of being a "manly women or womanly man"
(Like I said I don't know much about it and I have to stereotype a bit"

Got a particular species in mind?
I'm a bit confused as to why you think gender and/or gender dysphoria has anything to do with " leftist or feminist or "progressive", regressive, liberal, authoritarian, socialist etc".
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

But sex doesn't affect gender and you still believe there are two genders along with states of being in-between?
