Non-binary genders

Postby Rocopurr » Thu Jul 11, 2013 9:40 pm

Buried under the gay rights and abortion threads, it's a gender related thread. A non-binary gender thread, oooh.

Anyways, do you acknowledge non-binary genders?

For those of you who don't know, non-binary genders are all the genders besides male and female. This includes, but is not limited to, agender, pangender, androgynous, bigender, and trigender (My apologies if I forgot anything).

I acknowledge non-binary genders. Even if they're a small percentage, there are more genders than male and female. After all, it isn't hurting anyone to have more than male and female.

Agender (non-gender): “not identifying with any gender, the feeling of having no gender.”

Androgyne: “1. A person whose biological sex is not readily apparent. 2. A person who is intermediate between the two traditional genders. 3. A person who rejects gender roles entirely.”

Bigender: “To identify as both genders and/or to have a tendency to move between masculine and feminine gender-typed behavior depending on context, expressing a distinctly male persona and a distinctly female persona, two separate genders in one body.”

Gender fluid: “Referring to a gender identity that changes with time and/or situation as opposed to a fix sex-role or gender queer expression"

Pangender: “A person whose gender identity is comprised of many gender expressions."

Trigender: “People who feel they are neither male nor female, but not androgynous either and construct their own gender.” Trigender may also be used to refer to one who moves between three genders, as bigender is used to refer to those who move between two genders."

Since gender is a social construct, it's definitely not binary.

I've always preferred base 12 to binary anyway.

Yes, but genderqueer is a broad term that could describe several of the genders I listed.

I do not believe in the gender binary. Things are never black and white. There are more genders out there! Male or female, in between or outside(or label-less if you prefer)!

I gotta agree with you there, the stuff people nowadays spurt out is ridiculous to me, you are either a man or a woman, the very idea of more genders is laughable, any of you who are going to rage, show me your different biological parts eh? Men have penises and women have vaginas, simple, if you have something different, prove it and I will believe you.

There are two biological sexes. In regards to gender, you can call yourself whatever you want.

You don't have to have a vagina to be of female gender. Ships are generally gender female, for instance.

Genders are all psychological constructs to form social meaning. So, yes, I suppose, given the situation of one's thoughts and what not, there could be more than two genders...

Not something I really think about that often. If someone wants to consider themselves some gender that is not male or female, they can knock themselves out. That won't change anatomy which, to me, is what really matters... at least to a majority of the population when considering one's gender (which is, unfortunately, often interchanged, incorrectly, with one's sex).

The only Non-Binary gender I acknowledge is hermaphrodites, which are extremely rare. Other than that your either a male or female.

Not only have you gotten gender and sex confused, but options besides "penis" and "vagina" quite definitely exist.

The world is not nearly as simple as you think it is.

Man - somebody who has male reproductive organs.
Female - somebody who has female reproductive organs.
