Can someone please explain to me all these new age terms that were recently made up?

Gay is gay

Lesbian is gay girls

Bi means you like both

Queer used to be a negative slur for a gay person, now people want to be called that so what does it mean?

Asexual is to to produce offspring without a partner, like plants. But now people call themselves that?

Non binary? You dont consist of ones and zeros?

Genderfluid? The stuff that comes out of both people during sex?

Trans means you chopped your junk off to look more like the opposite?

Pansexual or pangender??

Every other species of mammal requires a female egg and a male sperm to produce an off spring. How did humans evolve to change thier genetics and physiology?

How do these new kinds of genders reproduce?

Queer is ambigious, it can refer to either sexuality, gender, or both.

Asexual means zero interest in sex, zero sexual arousal.

Idk non binary or gender fluid, but trans can refer to either transgender or transexual:

Transgender means the person's gender is different from their sex.

Transsexual means that the person has changed their sex to match their gender.

Pansexual means attraction to male, female, transgender and transexual.

@Nightwings but these dont have anything to do with what gender means?

Gender refers to the role the individual plays in reproducing offspring. For mammals, and egg has to be fertilized by a sperm to create a child and the female has a gestation period of 9 months and gives a live birth. It requires a female uterus and a male sperm.

If there was another gender, they would have to have a different sequence for creating a child.

@GuyWithOpinions Gender can refer to the person's or animal's sex, but nowadays people also use the word gender to discuss the societal expectations of what a human man and a human woman is like.

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

@Nightwings but thats a social ideology. Thats under the context of culture.

Nightwings · 31-35, F

@GuyWithOpinions Yes, that's right.

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

@Nightwings so that doesnt change the gender of the species. Its an idea of how to act not a change in physiology. Its a culture.

Nightwings · 31-35, F

@GuyWithOpinions That's why some people decide to change their sex with surgical procedures and hormones. They percieve themselves as the opposite gender in the society they live in, and to be fair there are certain traits which differ between men and women instinctually as well, so it's not even 100% a societal construct.

@Nightwings so the 3rd gender wouldnt be able to produce an offspring do to thier culture norms of changing there physical appearances to match the opposite? So theres 3 genders then? Male, female and infertile.

Nightwings · 31-35, F

@GuyWithOpinions I think you need to decide whether we're talking about reproductive organs or transgenderism before this conversation has any chance of continuing. 👀

GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M

@Nightwings the word gender refers to how a species reproduces.

Nightwings · 31-35, F

@GuyWithOpinions Ok...

@GuyWithOpinions no.
Sex does.
Look at the etymology and then historical use of the term gender.

Also, both sex and gender are a spectrum.
You get intersex people.
Men also have estrogen, and women have testosterone.
It's just lower than testosterone and estrogen respectively.

@basilfawlty89 I already wrote this to him:

Bro is going in circles. 😅
