I mean that's what I think, but there is a lot of discussion about allowing Trans Gender people to go in whatever bathroom they want

Transgender people aren't saying they are some 3rd gender they are saying they are male/female

It doesn't effect me, call yourself what ever you like.
Two. Male. Female. However you end up there!
2, idk
Spectrum, social construct.

Slightly off centre.
Used to identify with a lot of the rhetoric, now I think it's just a weird way of lashing out at strict societal gender roles. You should be able to do 'masculine' things without having to consider yourself 'male'

Gender is a social construct

Let the triggering begin

Yeah.There's been discussion about gender neutral human pronouns for decades (at least). Here's a list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_pronoun#Summary
I think of it in terms of two like most people. Like everything there are exceptions but I have never met one so two is a near enough approximation for me. I think it gets far two much attention tbh. There really aren't many people who don't identify as either a man or a woman.

Oh yeah I know that, I remember covering it briefly in English a few years ago. But I've never met someone who insisted on being called...let's say, ze/hir/hirs. That one I find especially strange. Why isn't it zir/zirs?

Personally don't care what people want to call themselves.
