I would not say they were the only genders, no. This is because someone's gender is very much in their mind and some people do not identify as male or female.

well i would say yes because if you look at birds for instance there are always two colour variations one for male and another for female. also in product design there is a male and female mould, the female goes on top :smile:

No.

No, because there is not a concrete definition of "male" and "female" gender as an idea (sex is different as that is physical). But gender is a social construct wherein there is no clear line between what constitutes being "male" and "female", so yeah be whatever you want.

Sex is what you are biologically - the whole X and Y thing in biology. Gender is a social construct.

I never really put any stake in gender nor understood its significance. You are who you are and I think it's counterproductive to have arguments about you not identifying with one of these categories or the opposite one to your biological sex. They're just stupid social constructs and I don't understand why so many people are so obsessed with it. I can understand people wanting to change their biological sex but gender is meaningless.

God created male and female.
So yes.
LGBT society was created by Secret societies to make people lose their connection with god.

Posted from TSR Mobile

Proof that God created us?

Proof LGBTQIA people are a product of any secret societies?

None? Convenient.

Many of those are the same: MTF = male to female = trans female = transsexual female = transsexual*female etc.

Doesn't that mean you don't identify as a gender? Therefore it can't be a gender as it means without gender?

That is still a gender identity though... Like, asexuality is when you aren't really attracted to either sex but it is still a sexuality :smile:

No they're not the only genders, there are many people out there that do not conform to either gender. Categorising people into two distinct categories is meaningless; insinuating 7 billion people can only act/feel one or the either is ridiculous, especially since society has such a rigid idea of what male and female is.
