@GlitterEater feels great to Meet someone who agrees to my discovery that there was never a gender.. and that it was infused into humanity to divide and rule humans
The 7 different genders include agender, cisgender, genderfluid, genderqueer, intersex, gender nonconforming, and transgender. Many people refuse to be classified as male or female, either because they do not identify themselves as male or female or because they are transitioning to the opposite gender.
Anthropologists have long documented cultures around the world that acknowledge more than two genders. There are examples going back 3,000 years to the Iron Age, and even further back to the Copper Age.
Below are 107 gender identities currently listed for 2023. (These are the more commonly known gender identities - as listed on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gender_identities - and is subject to change at any time.)Dec 7, 2022
@SW-User Sex is referred as to the biological characteristics of a person, such as their sex organs, hormones, and chromosomes. It's safe to say that science recognizes three sexes: male, female, and intersex. However, gender is not made up of binary forms. Instead, it's a wide spectrum.
According to Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, a recognized expert in this field of study, 1-1/2 to 2% of all births do not fall strictly within the tight definition of all-male or all-female, even if the child looks "normal." In reaching her numbers, Dr. Fausto-Sterling counted all incidents of intersexuality, from mild to extreme. The incidence of children with mixed genitalia is pegged at 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 3,000, or 0.033 to 0.05 percent of all births.
As far as chromosomes are concerned, we have observed genotypes involving XXX, XXY, XYY and X0 (Turner syndrome) sex chromosomes. And we've observed human phenotypes with a range from no functioning sex organs to varying amounts of male & female sex organs on the same individual (these are often called intersex). Genetic mosaicism is where the X and Y chromosomes are expressed differently (from the most common expression) on different partfs of the body (these phenotypes are also often described as intersex and sometimes hermaphrodite). Then there's androgen insensitivity syndrome. These are all observable biological phenomena that either God or Nature brings into the human family.
@BohemianBabe great come back I didn’t see that coming. If people don’t want to accept what they are that’s fine they can claim to be whatever they like but the rest of the world doesn’t have to believe it.
@BohemianBabe y @BohemianBabe there are only even this study above doesn’t claim that there are more. But if it makes you feel better to believe something else go for it.
My comment would be that those who think that don't understand what gender really is. They conflate biological sex with gender. Ignorance to that is fine. Not wanting to learn, and holding it up as something to attack for a variety of foolish, fear driven or hateful reasons, is something different. Could be wrong but I think that might be you. Why you wouldn't have the self-respect to learn the truth is your battle.
Do u mean gender or sex gender is about self identity therefore yes more than one. Further in several religions an cultures as well as history there are 7 anatomical genders observed. (Hinduism is the most detailed?)
True. All "healthy" mammals are gonochoric. Those who claim themselves to be otherwise must be from a different, ahem -non existing- species as far as I'm concerned 🤔 Gender, is a wordplay that gives the illusion of choice of sexual identity, along with genital mutilation surgery and exogenous hormone consumption. Femininity and masculinity are temperaments.
@Harmony Gender is about culture, not biology. Sex is about biology. That's why there have always been societies that recognized more than two genders.
Gender is just a culture that's associated with biological sex. The same way there can be many cultures associated with race, there can be many cultures associated with sex.
