Your gender identity and sexual orientation?

BISEXUALITY!!

Bisexuality with the appropriate smiley.

Bi Pride.

Female and prefer men, but I'm not a girly girl and the preference for men is not that strong.

There are only two actual genders, male and female. You are the gender that were born with, you can't choose it.

And people who are born with ambiguous sex organs?

Even if you don't subscribe to the idea that there are dozens of genders and gender is separate from sex, there are still people who don't fit neatly in the categories of male or female.

A good example, a woman born without sexual organs.

I'm a straight male.

Even though I may be bordering on asexuality considering I've been attracted to a woman a massive four times in my twenty years of adult (post onset of puberty at 14 life)

Well, more like "puppy love crushes" but that's common here in the U.S. and in other parts of the American continent.

Huh. Interesting. When I was growing up, boys and girls mostly did not want to play with each other and had their own separate "subcultures", so to speak. We treated each other as "rival teams" - sometimes literally, in sports and other games.

Of course, puberty changed all that.

He considers himself a "ladies man." He's 7. So, in his mind, she's his girlfriend if he likes her. She doesn't actually need to know about their relationship.

Ah. Well... you should consider explaining that it's not supposed to work like that...

Also, IMO, no boy should ever believe that being a "ladies man" is a good thing. I know he's only 7, but that's old enough that his opinions should be taken seriously, and corrected with persuasive arguments if they are wrong.

I don't have children of my own, but I do remember my childhood very well, and I know that some broad aspects of my outlook on life had already been formed by the time I was 7. For example, then, as now, I believed that my life has to be dedicated to a grand cause or purpose in order to be worth living. The "causes" I took up as a child were silly, of course, but the core idea that life must be purpose-driven was already there, and that is still what I believe today.

The intellectual abilities of children should also not be underestimated. When I was 8 or 9 I sat down with my father and explained to him that I had concluded Santa Claus could not possibly exist, despite him and my mother continuously claiming the contrary, and told him I didn't like being lied to. At first he didn't take me seriously, but when all his arguments for Santa Claus failed to persuade me, he gave up and admitted the truth.

To this day my parents and I laugh about the fact that I had "the Santa talk" with them.

Well I'm a gay male, and I think the country I live in (UK) is dealing well with issues concerning sexuality and gender.

[Arztoztka]

For me, gender isn't a big whooping rainbow from where you can choose your gender. For me, you're just in a black and white world: you're either male or female, no middle ground.

Regarding sexuality, I accept heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality and tolerate pansexuality.

Transsexualism for me is plain wrong, and I already stated my reason.

That everything is either black and white?

Yea, because totally clear cut concepts exist in the real world now isn't it?

Good for you and all, but you're wrong.

There is a difference between bisexual and pansexual....ok? Bisexual would mean one is attracted to two genders, while pansexual means one is attracted to "pan" or all genders. Considering there are 200+ genders, and I've only seen about 6, I can't fully say I am anything more than bisexual, maybe "trisexual".

I'm biologically male, but really a genderless being. I do a few things considered masculine, a few things considered feminine, but not really enough to make me either, so I just say I am genderless.

200+ genders wat

why would it be a bad thing to be a ladies man? not saying it would be a good thing either. why is it ok for us to condemn slut-shaming whilst doing the exact opposite against men?

Hey!

7 is really old to still be sleeping with parents, whether it's a boy or a girl, imo.

I'm glad we agree. My fiance thinks I'm making too big an issue over nothing - but she babies him. Then again, I baby him when it comes to girls and friendships. We both have our particular flavor of dealing with childhood drama. She lets him cry and cuddles him if he gets a booboo. I let him cry and cuddle him when his latest girlfriend likes a new boy (with kids these things change daily).

That's kinda creepy, imho But I guess it's just me and how I was raised and what I was taught to expect from parent-child relationships after the age of 5/6 or specifically father/son relationship.

Considering sex is not just male and female, why should gender be just male or female?

wtf is another gender identity?

I think your making a mistake in applying your childhood as the standards by how all children develop, I went through my childhood, until like 14 not really thinking about any deep issues, and thinking that everything would be all right in the end no matter what I did. I wasn't exactly brought down to reality but it took me a further 4 years to develop what I'd consider a well considered set of political stances and ethics until I was 18. So if some kid has some errant beliefs at 7 I'm willing to bet theirs a good chance he grows out of them, Logic being an important thing settles in at different times for different people and trying to engage them in logical arguments before then tends to just end up being frustrating.

I didn't realize that there was more than two genders.
