Genders?

RE: Genders?
An interesting side point, can anyone tell me whether this is a boy or a girl?

There are only two genders. Some people fluctuate between the two, identify as a different gender than their sex and/or are a little more or less one of the other. We fall on a spectrum of those two genders, but there are only two genders.

It's definitely a boy or this is question is a genius bluff.  One of those two.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Pretty much the norm in late 19th, early 20th photography. A fashion statement, nothing more.

Fuck wiki. Fuck it up the arse with a blunt instrument.

The only thing that matters is how people feel. And that it's none of anyone's business to tell them how they should feel.

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.
