Okay I know that this image should describe sex instead of gender, but does that justify people labeling themselves as a trigender pyrofox as their gender? I want to hear your viewpoints on this. I'm honestly at a loss here.

Guys what's the difference between bisexual and pansexual?

I mean I know bisexuals like dudes and chicks only and pansexuals can **** any human.

But where does a bisexual draw the line? I mean you got a feminine female, then a masculine female (tomboy I suppose), you got your reverse traps and cuntboys, and then you also got your trannies and other odd things. Where does a bi person draw the line? Are bisexuals only into mainly feminine females and masculine males? Do they not like it when you place sex with the opposite gender? Do bisexuals have a spectrum between straight, gay, and pan? Like some bisexuals can like women more right? or men more right? Then there must be bisexuals who like it when gender/sex mix up more than others, and the ones that do are more 'pansexual' than the others right? Or is it the moment you like tomboy chicks mean you're a light pansexual instead of a bisexual?

I mean pansexuals can't be into EVERYONE right? I mean there's such thing as being ugly.

Seriously man I keep getting corrected in the difference, and google doesn't help because I'm basically asking where's the borderline between bi and pan. I don't even go to tumblr except for porn.

I happen to be a licensed chiropractic with a degree in particle physics and I have written several memorandi on how to treat cranial lobus with pincther maximus extract, for which I undertook numerous expeditions into South America, namely the Congo delta and Toulouse.

I also have over 20 published articles in multiple renowed magazines cited all over the world.

I am fluent in mandarin, french, german, portugese and svahili and I am currently researching the language of ancient Sumerian empire. My primary source of information on the subject are preserved stone tablets, eyewitness accounts and data retriaval of solid state drives rescued from roayal tombs.

Labeling one self as anything but male or female (unless you have a birth defect), simply means you think you're a special snowflake and that you deserve a lot of attention. You're still either male or female, nobody gives a rats ass about what you "identify" as, you're not special, you're not interesting. And that goes for morons who claim to be part whatever animal, mythological creature, or robot as well! You are not! Well, maybe part human part idiot, but that's it! Kids these days...
#36 to #10 - anon (4 hours ago) [-]
I think that might be a bit short sighted.
When people introduce themselves they often say something like "i'm a scientist/teacher/gamer/reader/addict". That doesn't mean they are looking for attention, it's about sharing something with yourself that you can talk about or to look for others that you have that in common with. It can also mean you feel the need to share some quirk about you that is out of the norm, something that people have to take into account when interacting with you (IE i sometimes introduce myself as having aspergers, because people expecting weird interactions will be better at handling them.)

Introducing yourself as male even though you have boobs can be explained as trying to share that you act in a manner that is seen traditionally as female. IE less agressive/competive and more caring.
There is a lot of recorded examples that are exactly this. I've forgotten the exact name, but indians (native americans) had a name for men who weren't just gay in the sense that they liked men, but also had feminine traits and were not as much into hunting/war/whatever.

Now, i do think 99 of the 100 people you see saying this stuff is in it for the attention or because of rebellion or whatever ******** reason, but i also firmly believe that that 1 in a 100 or 1 in a 1000, whatever the numbers is in fact "legit" the other gender.

I believe that biological gender is unchangeable. It's what you were born as. You were born with either a penis or vagina, and in some very rare cases; both.

However, gender identity is something else entirely. You can be a man who wants to be a woman, so you would undergo the proper treatments and surgeries, until you resembled what you wanted on the outside. Only rarely do these people turn out EXACTLY how they wanted.

Those who have a penis, but want to be a woman, while dressing as a woman, is a transgender. They want to be treated like a woman and adopt the womanly roles even though they're a man.

Those who believe they are another gender in another body clearly have some sort of mental illness. However, not all mental illness is bad. It's something that can be fixed or sorted.

I would call a man a woman if he dressed like a woman, acted like a woman, and adopted the womanly roles. I'd even refer to him as 'she', and 'her'.

However, those people who just want to be treated like some special snowflake and have the pronouns 'xir' and 'xhe' is retarded. There are only two genders, with some people having both, but normally identify as a man or a woman.

There's just way too much focus on gender/race now a days, can't we just call people idiots because of what they say/do, not by what they look like?

Gender is the sexual identity of an individual, not his/her actual sex.

You are talking about sex, not gender.

Gender is usually determined at a young age. Children will often either adopt a role as a male, female or on exceptionally rare occasions another gender. While the science behind psychosexual development is highly contested it's observed that young children will eventually identify themselves as male or female after infancy.

For example, it's possible that a male child may refer to himself as female, even though he does not possess female organs [This often leads to a condition known as gender dysphoria, a rare condition affecting around 0.01% of the world population].

It's widely accepted that sex and gender are not the same thing.

Sorry OP, but your post is wrong.

User avatar #154 to #151 - Sethorein ONLINE (9 minutes ago) [-]
You're literally arguing semantics for a definition of sex that isn't being questioned here.

Sex (noun) - your biological sex.
Gender (noun) - the sex you identify as independent of your biological sex.

Now from what I have been trying to understand, you seem to be saying my second definition is incorrect. Can you please answer me straight rather than dancing around irrelevant semantic arguments relating to the words rather than the things the words describe?

Gender is literally none of the seven. None of them even come close to being acceptable inputs.
Sex is defined by body parts. Sex is defined by chromosomes.

Gender is a dynamic social construct of expectations related to an individual's specific sex.
Gender is, succinctly, "expectations people have of you strictly because of your sex regardless of your personality or what you identify as". That means you're expected to not wear bras if you're a male or piss while standing if you're a female.
If you're a woman and only 70% of the things you do are feminine rather than the expected 90-100%, all it says is you're a slightly masculine female, nothing more.

When generic forms ask for your "gender" rather than your "sex", it's because the forms are wrong.

"Relating to yourself" is also perhaps the stupidest most nonsensical string of words ever uttered, inherently not being able to mean anything or even imply anything whatsoever, resulting in the literal impossibility to even come remotely close to expressing any information at all.

What Is Your Gender?

#43 - Stevethewizard (3 hours ago) [-]
Listen here, you little **** .
"Gender" is psychological.
"Sex" is physiological.
"Sexuality" is what you're attracted to, between the two sexes and genders.
There's a reason they're different words. They're different words because "gender" is used in psychology, sociology, and (non-English) languages, and the term was developed for such uses. "Sex", on the other hand, is used in pure sciences such as medicine and genetics. "Sexuality" is simple enough, and is usually used by people describing themselves.
That's why surveys ask for your gender, hospital admission paperwork asks for your sex, and people looking for hookups are doing so based on their sexuality.

I hate having to explain this to those who don't actually do any sort of research on the differences in definition between similar terms before they pass on something they don't know about.
I'm saying this as someone who thinks the concept of "gender-fluidity" is ******** . The concept of gender is a psychological construct. If you consider yourself gender-fluid, you have a poorly developed sense of self, as your definition of yourself is in flux. You identify as either the gender coinciding with your sex, or the gender that coincides with the opposite sex.
Sex, on the other hand, isn't what you define as. It is defined at birth, and is unable to be changed, despite what some people may say, as turning your dick inside out doesn't give you a vagina, and you can't change your DNA.
Finally, there's sexuality, which falls into one of three categories: heterosexual (where you're attracted to the opposite sex and/or gender to yours), homosexual (where you're liable to post on /fit/ attracted to the same sex and/or gender as yours), and bisexual (where you're attracted to both the same and the opposite sex and/or gender).

tl;dr: OP is wrong, but nowhere near as wrong as tumblr, who insists gender and sexuality are spectrums, which is just an attempt to normalize their ******* fetishes and/or give themselves "special snowflake" status.
#44 to #43 - Stevethewizard (3 hours ago) [-]

Hey that makes sense to me. I was getting gender and sexuality mixed up.

If sex is : male/female

gender itself is a social construct, your sex is not. the bits that decide wither you're male or female are in every cell of your body from the moment your mother is impregnated. you can't be one thing and identify as another. It simply does not work that way.

you allowing them to do this because simply "it makes them feel better and doesn't effect me." is lazy and far too dismissive. Why not let the alcoholic have a few more drinks since you don't see them often? Let the drug addict feel good? The smoker? The suicide wanting depressed being who has no happiness that wants to end it all? "Being happy" doesn't equal good. That's why suicide rates are so high for people who actually do pull this **** . That's why a chunk of them regret doing it despite being in comforting support groups. That's why ******* the new head piece for it, jenner, is rumored to want to go back.

User avatar #98 to #84 - aadenoto ONLINE (1 hour ago) [-]
It's not a matter of actual belief, just preference. I mean, you don't have to believe you were born as a unipangender 360 backflip 720 with extra cheese, but if you wanna wear it like a name then go right ahead IMO. I think the root of this problem is disagreement on what "gender" is. Many see it as a kind of identifier, and many see it as what chromosomes you were born with. Maybe the latter is correct for the definition of gender, but then there isn't really a name for the former.
#124 to #98 - sircool (35 minutes ago) [-]
those people are morons.

sex is your chromosomes. what you are.

gender are the traits typically shown by either sex, that were used as communication as to compare in social aspects. Inanimate objects sharing the same words as the set in stone sex ones are evidence of this. But despite what you -say- you are, at your core, you are what your biological data is. They will not bury you in a hundred years and see that you got a sex change, they will see your bone structure and name you male or female.

SHORT ANSWER:
People can call themselves whatever they want but they cannot demand different rights based on what they think they are.

KEEP READING FOR LONG ANSWER:

A male cannot demand to use the women's restroom because he thinks that he is a woman. If that was the norm, think of all the creeper guys that would be able to say that that they identified as women for the simple purpose of getting into the female bathrooms to perv. There is no concrete way to prove one way or the other.

gender is either male or female. even intersex people have a more prominent gender. transgender-ism occurs when one's brain is wired to be the opposite gender than their body thereby causing gender dysphoria. you can not be trans without gender dysphoria. i'm not sure how right i am, but by what i've read and experienced, this is my conclusion.
