How many genders are there?

I'm not confused at all- including about the definition of confused. Saw a man with a beard and high heels in a skirt a few days ago; he is certainly confused. Of course sometimes confused is an adamant insistence on the wrong answer. Then it's not confusion, it's just wrong. I keep wondering what their objective is.

 

I suppose. Not sure it's narcissism, 100% at least, but we'll run with that.

 

Less than 46 years ago, the topic of this thread, was pretty simple. Still is for myself, & many others, but alas, keeping it simple, simply doesn't seem simple enough today.

 

If you're not confused, then you simply don't know what transgender is. And not looking up the definition keeps one ignorant on a topic.

The guy in the beard is obviously not a transgender. Maybe a cross dresser. They are not the same.
And why is it more wrong than anyone wearing a shaved head and a plaid suit?

 

2.5 or 3 depending on how it's interpreted.

 

If the Bearded lady identifies as female however, we're being told by the left, that we must accept that he is a female, so, in his mind, indeed they ARE the same.

 

I wonder if people who lived 100 years ago had this kind of conversation.

 

46 yrs ago, you or people like you would just beat the snot out of them. If they didn't change, you'd beat the snot out of them again.
And continue until they killed themselves or the beating did.

Thankfully we don't live in your world anymore.
Its not complicated issue, you and your kind make it complicated because we won't allow your types to beat the snot out of them anymore.

 

See, you just want to remain confused.
If a person in a dress is sporting a beard, I don't think they are IDing as a female. Just dressing as one.
There is a difference.
This isn't rocket science.
Open up the mind and leave the mindset of 46 yrs ago to the dinosaurs.

 

LOL. Another who wants to live in the past.
100 yrs ago, they'd be beaten until they changed, outwardly, or died by getting beaten up or killing themselves to rid themselves of the beatings.

 

That's a pretty broad brush.

"MY" world?

My world has gray areas, black & white areas, & brilliant Plaid areas. I have an open mind to much.

There's no need to beat the snot out of anyone. There are 2 gender sexes. If one is pulled to transforming into, or living as that sex they feel more comfortable as, fine & dandy. Do what you do.

Just don't force others to turn a blind eye to natural facts. That's a lot like trying to beat the snot outta someone.

 

What confusion? You're assuming that he bearded wonder isn't a transgender, in the beginning of the process of transformation. How dare you minimize it's aspirations!

 

Why even interpret?
There is a definition. Use it. OK, definitions still need to be interpreted.
But I say there could be many based on the definition.

 

It is an assumption. But the vast majority of transgenders actually look like the other sex, or the sex they identify with.
A bearded man in a dress is not.
You fake sarcasm if not working. It does show the ignorance of the topic. Not that I'm any sort of expert. But I don't want them to just slink back to the closet, which seems to be what you would like.

We know you'd just as soon they go back to the closet or get beaten up.

 

Gender doesn't have much if anything to do with sex.
Read the definition.
And it would be clear, 2 is not even a close answer.

 

You're about as far from the mark regarding me as you can get, but honestly, I don't care. There's no sarcasm, just pointing out the idiocy of the national debate on this.

Anyway, I remember a time, when the left wanted to eliminate ALL labels.... Now, it seems that they can't find enough.

If transgenders wish to be the sex they identify, why is there such an outcry to be identified as transgender. Just identify as the sex you feel you are, & live long & prosper.

 

There are males, & there are females. That is how our species reproduces. 2 males haven't the right stuff to reproduce together, any more than 2 females.

 

Just two...mine and the person with whom I want to engage in sexual relations with. A simple answer.

 

Now we are not. We are talking about how many genders there are. Read the OP.
Get the definition of gender.
You say this is not simple stuff like 46 yrs ago, but choose to remain of the same ignorance of 46 yrs ago.

 

Depends on if it is voting bloc that the Democrats can pander to or not...

 

You're the one who said this topic was simple 46 yrs ago. And I brought up 46 yrs ago, the topic really wouldn't come up because they couldn't be open. They'd get beat up.
Why bring up 46 yrs ago, if you didn't want them to be treated the same as 46 yrs ago?

Is the left the one placing the labels? Proof.
They can't, in case you haven't been paying attention, the RW is making a big stink about which bathroom they should use, even though they've been using their id'd bathroom since public restrooms became a thing.

 

What ignorance?

The ignorance that follows gender is the sexual organs one has?

Why expand the definition? I mean other that the reasoning stated in my initial post.

Which, is a far cry from limiting labels, & stopping division.

 

Yes, the 0.1% of those trans voting is going to make a huuge, i say yyyyuuuuuuggggge difference.

 

The ignorance you keep displaying.
Expand the definition? What is 'THE' definition?

 

The left is constantly, for The last decade or more, building more & more pigeon holes for groups, or individuals to be neatly placed into. If you haven't seen that, I'm sorry. No amount of LinkDropping will show you.
I agree the Great Potty Wars seems much ado about nothing, but the Right apparently needs to push the issue that since the Left wants all of this recognition for Transgenders, instead of just living the life they wish, as the sex they identify as, then, an issue there shall be.

I swear to God, watching polarized political thinkers, is like watching monkeys hurl feces at each other.
