They relate to physical body parts though.


Yes, and? As Neutraligon pointed out, the brain is the organ responsible for people identifying or not identifying as a gender.

Gender is a social construct people link to physicalities, and not the other way around.

Well, gender is in the brain so, they all relate to the brain, a physical body part.

Facebook allowed non-binary gender selection, and so the few hundred thousand genderqueer folk of the world, as well as the infinite armies of trolls seeking to put ridiculous and intentionally misleading information in their profiles, both rejoiced on that day.

It does for very many people. Trans people want their physical sex to conform with the gender they identify as. Sex often has a lot to do with gender.

As it turns out, no. There's not only male and female as viable gender identities. Might I suggest referring to the psychological definition of the word "gender" as your starting point?


This is another example of retarded Facebook being run by that communist.


...what?

Given that your repulsion is not the definition of either the terms "gender identity" or "communism", it doesn't clear anything up.

OK, let's have the scientifically accredited definition of Smizmar.
I'm female, so please remember to say "she" or "her" when referring to me.

Maybe if you can explain what a Smizmar is and how it relates to the concept of gender, you'd have a legitimate grievance.

Go, Google-Fu!

...even by Futurama standards that's not a gender identification. I retain my present argument that Mlytoria was engaging in a fit of nonsense, given this.
