Genders in 21st century

over 5 years

How many genders are there? (if they even exist). How many sexes are there? Are liberals living their crazy world or are the conservatives living in a different century refusing to accept facts as the liberals claim?

gender is a social construct u dumb twits. there are as many genders as our society allows for. whether or not biological factors have influenced the formation of gender roles over time, science has zilch to do with the actual present state of gender. yall are gettin' upset about chromosomal sex and no level headed person is claiming they can identify as having different chromosomes.

what i think u 2-gender folks are getting upset about is over-labeling which is a thing maybe but at the end of the day, it makes some eggs on tumblr happy so why do u care? just let snowflakes be snowflakes if they wanna drift around in the wind for awhile, it doesn't hurt u.

if gender is determined by what karyotype you carry, then did genders not exist before the discovery of chromosomes?
Obviously they did, so how did we know how to identify the difference between a man and a woman before in time?


Did gravity not exist before humans knew it existed?

Did humans not have XX, and XY chromosomes before they knew it existed?

How do we know? We run a DNA test on their bones.

Does somethings existence depend on humanities understanding of it?


Scrooge says

Don't say genitals. They're obviously not an option most of the time.


Scientifically proven, if you have an XY chromosomes you can't give birth.


Scrooge says

Think of the strangers you meet throughout the day. How do you know what pronouns to use? How do you determine their gender?


It's not too hard to differentiate a male from a female. From voice, personality, body etc. There are many differences between males and females that are evident from first glance.


Scrooge says

The thing is that for some reason everyone here is framing the question to be about biology, but no one is denying the biology. Trans people know that their gender identity and physical body don't line up.


BSM just denied biology, he claimed intersex people was a new sex/gender.

Also if you look on youtube a fellow named Riley Dennis claims to literally be a woman. In both sex and gender.

He also claims to be a lesbian.

If you attempt to eliminate biology from the conversation we have nothing more to talk about, we share no common ground.

Everything is imaginary.

we all know animals don't have the intelligence/self awareness to make such decisions, hence why animals 'don't have extra genders'.


So gender is a decision?

spectrum i think????
idk man im not in a place to tell anyone that they cant identify as whatever they want. Ill just try to respect ppl's pronouns

also the idea of two genders is really western oriented, many different cultures have had 3+ genders for like, forever

why don't other animals have extra genders?


ok so far this is the funniest post in this thread ill start rating whoever tries to top this


Because gender is a social construct and non-human animals don't have the cognitive functions available to construct something akin to gender. Either that or they do but have no way of expressing it. I'm going with the former.

shint says

people want to ~be rational~ and think science is the ultimate foundation for that but they fail to acknowledge that humans exist within societal frameworks that were constructed and enforced intentionally with zero actual interest in protein sequences despite the fact that yes humans are a biological lifeform as any other. reminds me a lot of 2000 iq youtube atheists


why don't other animals have extra genders? because they are biologically determined.



sex and gender are different things. obviously, there are 2 biological sexes, but gender is more complicated than that. as far as i know, gender is what a person identifies as, which could be literally anything they want. we all know animals don't have the intelligence/self awareness to make such decisions, hence why animals 'don't have extra genders'.
