Annab, you will note that lightningblue is only investing one or two short sentences in return for our more wordy feedback to him.
He's not willing to think beyond his experience, so is it worth one's effort to try to teach one whos actions show him to be unwilling to learn?
He's not going to listen to anything we have to say, but I'm certain he enjoys setting us off. He's having fun watching us invest time and effort into this.
I will not argue with ignorance or those unable to empathize or understand.

@JustAcanuck haha yes I know what you mean but he and others may read it to maybe just maybe just take a moment to consider it, even cogitate my words, and then decide it's utter bollocks and really there is only a binary concept and I'm just a freak of nature :D

Snippet from Gender Spectrum [quote]Most societies view sex as a binary concept, with two rigidly fixed options: male or female, both based on a person’s reproductive functions (genitals, sex chromosomes, gonads, hormones, reproductive structures). But a sex binary fails to capture even the biological aspect of gender. While most bodies have one of two forms of genitalia, which are classified as “female” or “male,” there are naturally occurring Intersex conditions that demonstrate that sex exists across a continuum of possibilities. This biological spectrum by itself should be enough to dispel the simplistic notion of the “Gender binary”- there are not just two sexes.
The relationship between a person’s gender and their body goes beyond one’s reproductive functions. Research in neurology, endocrinology, and cellular biology points to a broader biological basis for an individual’s experience of gender. In fact, research increasingly points to our brains as playing a key role in how we each experience our gender.[/quote]

Ah right! So you know better than neurologists, endocrinologists, Cellular biologists and a whole host of other 'ologists' who have actual studied gender beyond the physical form.

@Annab to me gender is X or Y
the rest is preference

@lightningblue Yes I understand that and I know you are wrong.
I can fully appreciate that a cisgender person will not appreciate or understand the neural influence of gender. You were born a guy and you will never questioned that. I really do get that!
I was four when I questioned my gender. It just didn't feel right. I didn't understand it and like you believed if I wasn't male then I had to be female. I was conditioned to be male but all the while my brain was telling me this is wrong. Consequently, I found that by crossdressing my mind-set would be at a state of contentment for a short period of time to the point that for a while I was convinced I was actually a female.
When I left home however, I was fortunately in a position where I was in secluded surroundings and could live as a female. But guess what after a few months I started to feel exactly the same way as when I was a male. I changed back and I was fine for a while. [i](Since the introduction of the internet I can now find solace in my female state just by being online whilst living ina more conventional male role.)[/i]
Because of my personal experience of feeling uncomfortable in binary gender role I know there must be a non-binary gender.
Also I have a friend in exactly the same position, who actually decided to have sex reassignment surgery. Two year's after and Leslie doesn't regret it but is currently living as a guy after the realisation that Leslie is more comfortable, mentally, performing more as a male than female. But still admits needing to have female time to find that equilibrium of a non-binary state of mind.
Post-mortem has shown people born with a phallus that actually had a brain structure of a female
Brain study has shown a person born with a phallus can have the same sensory electrical brain activity as that of a woman.
Studies has shown that a considerable percentage of person's born with XXY chromosones (Klienfelter Syndrome) even though they have a phallus will act against their physical gender. Is the chromosomal anomaly an extra X or an extra Y or maybe it's neither they are a third gender?
As the quote suggests the function of our brain play a key role in the makeup of our gender as much as having a phallus or a vagina does and because of that it is wrong to consider gender as a binary concept.

I think you meant to type "gender".
I also see that you are 'one of those' people who think capitalizing every word makes your statement more important.
You seem to think your unsolicited issuance of this decree, your grand sharing with us of your opinion on genders, is important.
Thanks for thinking that we were all just waiting for you to inform us of your opinion in advance of.... something, I guess.
At least, if you feel the need to pre-emptively let us know that you will not tolerate gender variance, start a conversation. Give a reason. Otherwise, you're just pissing into the wind, thinking the world gives a shit what you believe.
And if you want to complain that I'm ranting at you, stop and consider; [i][u]you[/u][/i] are the one who felt the world needed to be told that what YOU think on the subject matters to anybody, as if we should stop being non-traditional because it might offend you.
Or are you just looking to start a fight? Sigh...
