Gender.

in #rant7 years ago (edited)

Let's get this out of the way first; there are just 3 genders in nature and only 2 in humans. Those genders are male, female & hermaphrodite (Intersex). In humans, the latter isn't a gender. This can happen in humans, but only as genetic defects, which is why it doesn't count as a gender. It is, however, when it comes to species such as the banana slug and earthworms. Again, in humans, you have XX or XY chromosomes, which tell you if you are a girl or boy respectively. Any other combination is a genetic defect. Now, let's get on to the other 'genders'.

I'm not going to go into all of them (that would take a year) but I'll go into the main ones. Colour gender. This is a weird one that doesn't quite make sense. Basically, it's being a gender that's to do with somehow being the connotations of a colour. That's not a gender. That's called emotion. (If you're 'redgendered', do you identify as the U.S.S.R?)There's also gender fluid. This is where your gender is changing from male to female or vice versa all the time. This is impossible when you actually read the definition of male and female.

(female
ˈfiːmeɪl/Submit
adjective
adjective: female

of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes.
"a herd of female deer"

male
meɪl/Submit
adjective

of or denoting the sex that produces gametes, especially spermatozoa, with which a female may be fertilized or inseminated to produce offspring.
"male children"

Transgender people count as while their bodies are incapable of this, they have the hormones to do this in their body)

Another 'gender' is Glass gender. Somehow, according to them, an abstract noun (gender) is fragile.
The final one, drum roll please, is Hen. This isn't so much a gender, it's more of a pronoun. It's basically boy and girl combined. The Swedish made this because apparently boys and girls don't get equal opportunities growing up, which is nothing to do with gender, rather the way you raise your children.

This is the end of my rant, but just so you know I'm going to be posting a meme on gender soon, as I got photoshop working.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Sort:  

Everything about us is due to genetic mutations. If you, who are obviously not a geneticist, conflate mutation with "defect", I submit that it's more about your primal urge to place yourself above others than about genetics. What makes you qualified to declare someone defective?

The research of qualified people is what the rant is about, not my research. Also, when did I state that I was above others? Seems that one came out of thin air. I will give you the mutations vs defects thing though, but only since evolution is about mutations and they aren't evolved or devolved people. Anyway, again, I'm not qualified, the people who did the research are. If it makes you any happier, I changed mutations to defects.

Hang on, I only used mutations once! Half your response was about one sentence?

I study human nature, and "defective" has certain implications. As if people are broken and should be repaired or replaced. Perhaps it was a poor choice of words. But I observe much human behavior that is aimed directly or indirectly at removing agency from others, so I had to ask.

Ah, ok. I said defects because I couldn't think of another word, not because there's something wrong with them (I mean there's, but nothing that will affect them or others)
