[Serious] Are you non-binary?
#26
RE: Are you non-binary?
(July 16, 2020 at 8:42 pm)John 6IX Breezy Wrote: Just a general response to the comments I'm reading.

Everyone belongs to one of two sex categories--male or female. Sex is determined by a variety of things, like genetics, anatomy, and yes hormones. And these do not always match, making some individuals intersexed.

Gender, in contrast, is something we do. We perform our gender. We speak it, we wear it, we act it out. There are no categories to gender at the individual level, since gender is more of a verb than a noun.

That being said, at the cultural level, people's gender can be viewed as either masculine or feminine. This is what people refer to when they say gender is a social construct. Saying that wearing pink is feminine, is generally arbitrary. Yet by saying so what people mean is that wearing pink is a behavior usually seen in females.

In other words, I was born a male, but I must become a man. Cognitively identifying as a boy/man (which happens in childhood for most of us) is what becomes my gender identity.
But you kind of have to subdivide

Gender roles are a social construct 

Gender Identity is an inner sense or inner narrative of gender that is a mix of environment and innate psychology
