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.
I live in the "gay district" of a major city, Today, on FB, I saw a meeting about the firing of somebody from San Diego Pride, and went. One guy identified as Franko and Franceska. F/F was dressed as a man, and biologically one. I was kind of thrown offguard, I admit. I'd like to think I'm behind what the trans community stands for, but I had never given them any thought before lately, when they have politiclly stormed to near the front of the national conversation. I'm proud of F/F for standing up for what was important to them.
But I agree with what has been said that there seem to be too many identities, some of which aren't actually medically legit. It's like people are committing identity fraud of a sort that is impacting trans folks. Some folks just want to feel important.
And then the thing of pronouns. How am I, a cis hetero male, supposed to know somebody's pronouns if I don't know them? No way I'm not going to mess up there.
