I Support Lgbt Rights

It's quite worrying (and funny in a way) that those who claim there are only two genders don't even know what the word means.

"Gender" does not refer to male and female, those are sexes. There are more than two of those as well. Dr Anne Fausto-Sterling has identified 5 discrete sexes and believes there may be more. A Google search with "fausto sterling 5 sexes" (omitting the quotes), will provide plenty of reading material for those who wish to learn more.

[c=#7700B2]it is hard to keep up with all definitions of words ever since this politically correct movement came about.. but in all honesty when you look up all these genders now, some are just plain stupid like for example two spirit gender... to me it seems like people just make up new genders to feel unique these days..

and I support lgbtq rights btw, better point that out before I get accused of otherwise[/c]

@PlumBerries: Two spirits is not a new term at all, it is a traditional native term for being gay.

[c=#7700B2]so it is being gay, yet has its own name and goes under as a different gender? Being gay is in sexuality right? My question is why is it considered a gender?[/c]

@Goralski: Sexes or genders? As we all have traits of both genders in varying proportions I expect there's currently around 7 000 000 000 gender mixes.

@suzie1960: sounds about right

Those two words use to be the same but Somewhere along the way they parted

@Firespirit: I'm not sure they were ever synomymous but they definitely refer to two different things now.

@suzie1960: Yeah a lot of words have changed and I can't keep up like phobia use to be irrational fear now it means dislike
