What defines your gender for you?

Flenflyys · 31-35, F
Organs with the potential for a specific gamete production. Whether they work or not is irrelevant (ie. a menopausal woman) but the potential is there.

@Flenflyys sex describes what genitalia you're born with, gender describes what you identify yourself as.

For most people the two match up (aka cis people), but for some of us, they don't (aka transpeople)

@zonavar68 the question was about gender ....not sex of body.

Gender is connected to identity
Sex is connected to biological definition.

Like....asking someone what nationality they identity as:

Someone could identify as American coz they niw live there, ( but he born in Lithuania).

Or...
They could identify as Lithuanian, although they've lived most of their life in America

People identify as Christians, Hippies, goths, metalheads, dog or cat lovers, etc..
...its an inner thing .

Think of vegans who have an omnivore biology -.are they vegan coz of wjat they eat....or are they omnivore coz of their biology?
Me pum pum

Yes I'm being facetious. Leave me alone

I try to avoid this topic on social media, but here's my take,

It's not by one's genitals, or genitalia, it won't be their hormones, but they would both have influence in ways someone especially with cultural learning. So I tend to just try and accept and those who ask what they can't understand, and try to push how they can not understand as a little prehistoric and regressive.

Why ask and judge those who have nothing upon your life anyway? That seems the new normal now.
popmol · 26-30, M
@SW-User i give a short explanation of difference in gender and sex but don't go on, don't care enough for that.

i like asking questions thats why i ask. hoping for interesting answer that entertain me.

judging i barely do unless you come to me with religion on a non religious post.

@popmol I saw some mix up in conversation here before, how some didn't seem to recognize how you used "sex" as it also another word for gender.

I happen to also think it's a question you will never find on social media while we live in a time where everyone wants a voice and make their voice known in ways they never would have asked before.

@BatmanIRL we all learn to deal with hippiedude in our own time.
How I feel and whatever else is no one’s business’s the fact that people even care blows my mind.
popmol · 26-30, M
@Notladylike i'm just asking a question what defines it for people, it might be how you feel in something specific, i don't know.
Straylight · 31-35, F

@popmol Read the excerpt!
popmol · 26-30, M
@Quimliqer i read the difference, gender is used for expression, sex is genitals and dna.
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@popmol gender expression refers to the physical and behavioral
popmol · 26-30, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout once more thats sex.
@popmol gender- genitals…

It’s kinda primary school stuff really 🤷🏻‍♂️
popmol · 26-30, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout sex genitals, gender self expression.

Cisgender female, that's how I feel...
SUPERVlXEN · F
@popmol
It definitely wasn't "just because", it explicitly said it's how I feel. If you can't comprehend this I'm not sure what your follow up question was about. I feel myself like woman and happens to be cisgendered.
popmol · 26-30, M
@SUPERVlXEN thats how it came over at least. i see you meant it as more.
SUPERVlXEN · F
@popmol
It's literally what I said 🤷🏼‍♀️
Feels🤗

For most of my life ive been .......me.

Not male, not female .... just me.

In fact ive struggled with connecting with my feminine side.
Ive been drawn to creative occupations, whether artistic or constructive. So ive often been working with all male crews.

Dont get me wrong ...i now love that i get to be a woman ...even with the bias that comes with it.

I just rarely feel it .

And this is gonna be (embarrassingly revealing) , but....ive found that my femininity isn't there unless activated by a certain type of man .

Which sounds kinda weak .... that my femininity needs a man to click it over🙄.... but i dont feel it is.

I feel glad im neutral nut Aware of my feminine side.
But it doesnt define me as a person...i do

And im glad im mostly neutral. It means my feminity isnt ised for anything other than my sexual desire.
In all ither aspects of life....i use my character traits.

And when i do actually get to feel feminine .... it's glorious...


..Its special 🤗



So i suppose, in short, what defines my gender is:
Purely sexual : My identity as a heterosexual who desires men , 🤷‍♀️
The fact that i love all the aspects that being feminine gives me.

If i was in a mans body....and felt this way....id still feel feminine.(Disappointed....but still feminine)
popmol · 26-30, M
@OogieBoogie quite the trip you went to to get there, impressive!

i'm glad you found yourself at least :)

i feel like i'm at the neutral stage though, no need for masculinity really, we'll see when it pops out its head and takes hold!
@popmol well not really ...its still where i am .
Its where ive always been .
Im not into my feminity on a daily basis 🤷‍♀️
Im just me...a person.

But its my sexuality that brings the woman in me out. That's when i feel like my gender .

Any other time ....it doesn't really matter.
popmol · 26-30, M
@OogieBoogie being feminine daily sounds exhausting :p
My d*** mostly...

I'm a man. I know it. I have 'man bits' (admittedly they are kind of useless). That's all there is to know.
popmol · 26-30, M
@zonavar68 if you simply are, that's fine.
Degbeme · 70-79, M

popmol · 26-30, M
