Why, how does them catering to their users make another reason to hate them? Does this belong in the LGBT thread?

Because there are only two genders, no more, no less.

And if I posted in that thread I'd be deleted for "flaming", or "trolling", or "baiting", or whatever other excuse the Mods would make up just because they don't agree with my views. It's happened before.

Because there are. Men are men, women are women. There's nothing in between.

Can't say I really oppose this.

Why are there only two genders?


in my opinion there are only three.
Male
Female
Hermaphrodite

all others are just fallacies of imagination.
Do you hear the posters sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the short OP
that won't be seen again!

When the mods find this OP
Then this thread will be no more,
But the song will be sung again
When another comes!

OP, do you know the way?

Then you are wrong, do not appear to understand the difference between sex and gender, and insist on using a term that is no longer used to describe human beings.

This, basically. Some people don't identify as male or female, nothing wrong with that.

The existence of people who don't fit into the binary model says otherwise.

It doesn't matter what they identify as, they are what they are, and there's no changing that.

Just because someone doesn't identify with their Jewish ancestry doesn't make them not part Jewish.

>gender and sex being different

so basically what you're saying is that if I don't wish to be who/what I am I can just claim to be someone/something else entirely?

But gender is decided by you, not genetics. Whereas ancestry is decided by genetics.

Nope, there's more than two.

Also, the mods are biased, but TOWARDS conservatives, not against. If you as a conservative get banned/deleted for trolling/flaming/baiting, then its probably because you have been.
