There is only two genders, change my mind?
I been seeing this debate a lot lately and I see no reason to believe there is more than two genders, you are born either a male or female and that is what you are, that simple, you can't just change it. I mean it's basic biology, BIOLOGY DON'T CARE BOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

JazSinc say: "Gender" is an attempt by certain languages to assign sexes to things that don't have sexes.
German, for example, has three genders, signified by "der" "die" "das"

Zirp say: There are a s many genders as society acknowledges. In parts of india eunuchs are considered separately, and there probably are societies that acknowledge gay males and lesbians as separate categories as well.
As to biological SEXE... there's things like turner's and klinefelter's

CrustyCurmudgeon say: Well, you're not right. There are hermaphrodites, who are born with both male and female genitalia, so biologically there are at least three. Then there is the question of persons who identify as male or female but are born with plumbing that is not congruent with their self identity.
Some cultures accommodate these persons, and assign them an identity. In the US, they have become the unfortunate victims of political divisiveness, and are perceived by the uninformed as a threat.

Foofa say: Some people are born intersex, that is a biological fact. But it's an anomaly that is considered by medical science to be a problem. So perhaps that helps you understand the complexity of human gender.

Scorleo say: Gender and sex are different. There's only two sexes, that is the biological and legal definitions of male and female. But gender is a social construct which dictates that girls should wear pink, boys blue, etc. No one is completely man or woman when we're talking about gender as the social stereotypes that it perpetuates and most of us fall somewhere in the middle. The reason why gender as a social construct is harmful is because it was what conditions women into believing that they should emulate beauty standards and behave in ladylike fashions and it prohibits men from expressing their emotions in a society where it is viewed as unmasculine to do so, which is harmful particularly when young men have a higher suicide rate. Gender is BS constructs that we are still mimicking from despite being centuries years old because we're conditioned to view it as the norm

Midnight say: There are only two genders! **** the ***** feminists. They are pure Satan. They should all be castrated or thrown in jail

Bone Alone say: What about hermaphrodites. They have a penis and ovaries.

luv2be.evil say: I hear what you're saying but human beings generally don't like other humans trying to tell them they are wrong about anything, especially something as all encompassing as identity. Me personally, whatever makes you happy is my motto and I want my fellow people to be happy.

kalina say: there is two sexes, but multiple genders
SEXES have to do with biology. you’re either born a male or a female. it’s your reproductive organs.
GENDERS don’t have to do with biology, gender is a spectrum. there is more than two genders, but only two sexes:)
