There are only two genders

The title will be my answer every single time.

 

Life should be so simple.

 

There are two genders, and life is that simple if you let be

 

Did anyone ask for your answer? I fail to see the point of the thread.

 

Some apparently believe this is not true. I'm glad not where I live though.

 

Hehe true, I am glad too, the liberal plague has not infested all parts of the west.

 

For now at least. I read that in Germany they stopped greeting people on the train as "ladies and gentlemen".
Here in Belgium there's nothing of this sort.

And it's not really a "liberal" plague. Well maybe it is in the US but here in Europe there's no push from the left towards this nonsense, not that I know of anyway.
People will go completely insane if we had the same debate they're having in the USA.

 

I just can't wait for the liberal responses.

 

To make life more complicated aliens have other genders.

 

There are only two sexes. Sex refers to the biological physical component. Gender refers to social and cultural ideas of male and female and there are far more than just two of these globally.

 

Yes, but not in the world according to Obama.

 

Here is the liberal response:

Gender:
the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex

Well, it is. But people with mental problems who think they are a girl, when they are a guy, is the complicating factor. Mental illness will always make things more complex than they are in reality. Stop indulging the nutcases and things remain simple.

 

Arent there those on the left who think that there are more than two sexes?

 

And there are some on the right who believe Trump was born in Kenya. There are crazy fringe elements on both sides.

 

This speaks to the ignorance of some people.

Why do you so dislike things you have literally zero understanding of.

Physical sex, X and Y chromosomes, XX and XY. There are two SEXES.

The left argues there are multiple GENDERS, i.e. Sexual orientations. It's not really a debated fact now that there are more than 2 genders. Homosexuality and certain gender dysphorias are incurable.

Please know the correct terminology before making statements like that. These are SCIENTIFIC terms, it's not that hard.

Edit: post moreso for OP. I see the context of quoted post, keeping post as is but my response may be slightly out of context.

 

So the meaning of the word "gender" (in English) has changed over the decades.
I don't remember that's what gender meant when I learned English a few decades ago.

 

There can be only one.

 

that's just scientific/biologically ignorance on your part.

 

There's only one gender: The human gender.

Funy Joaks aside, "The self", "Humanity", and "Tuesday" are all illusory concepts we use to make sense of raw sensory input, so I don't see why the concepts we use to make sense of clusters of physical traits are sacred cows. Hell, "biological sex" is a cluster of several traits (genitalia, body shape, chromosome type, probably one or two more I forgot) that don't always come packaged the same way together. Gender is nothing but the way we classify and understand how people behave and present in relation to sexual traits.

People are complicated. We're not one whole, we're networks of interlinking parts that can fail, be swapped out, be removed, etc.y We've reached a level of understanding where we can experiment on the very traits we once believed made us irrevocably human. Either we can run screaming in terror from the ensuing responsibility to re-evaluate all values into the comparative safety of a new dark age, or we can continue grappling with the inhumanity of the universe and finding whatever comfort we can in one another along the way.

 

and then you have to explain hermaphrodites ...not only can genetics mess up the sexes physically it also affects the brains gender choice.

 

No quite the contrary. You just refuse to recognize mental illness as mental illness. You should also be quite fine and indulge those who believe they are Napoleon, or Christ, or those that actually think they are a dog, for whatever one thinks one is, determines physical reality.

We have no trouble seeing mental illness, unless it concerns the newest SJW belief. It was not that long ago that the american society of psychologists viewed homosexuality as a mental affliction, and research was going on to find a cure, but then social pressures from homosexuals who organized forced them into taking it off of the list of mental affections. Science had nothing to do with it, but social pressure did. And that is how this works in the real world. Just because Kipling's monkeys are screaming, "we all say so, so it must be true" in regards to people who are one gender but their minds are so messed up as to think reality is determined by only thought, an idea, does not render a fact here. The fact is, there is a male who in his mind, thinks he is really a female, is a psychological problem and not a physical problem. This is just one of many mental illnesses. And it should be a most basic delusion, and a cure needs to be sought. For if there is this mental illness here, there are probably other areas where that person is also mentally ill. That so many compared to the general population commit suicide points to a mental dysfunction. So it moves beyond just their mental confusion as to what gender they are. Which would be expected in the mentally ill.

When SJW can turn a mental illness into being mentally healthy, we got big problems, thanks to people like you. When a perceived social justice makes the mentally ill, not mentally ill, there is more at stake than just this travesty, for such minds are not beneficial at all and might react and do their delusional thinking in other areas in the future. In fact, given the trend of such thinking, it is a given.

So, if and when someone walks up to you, perhaps a family member, and tells you in all seriousness that he is in fact Jesus Christ, and he has returned to battle Satan, one would expect you, in order for consistency and coherence, to embrace his beliefs, indulge him, and even start a movement for those who in a delusion, in a mental illness, believe themselves to be Christ, and you must address him or her as the son of god, and believe him when he tells you he can walk on water and turn water into wine. And rise from the dead if he is killed. After all, he sincerely believes in his own delusion, and so should you. If you can think you are something, indeed this thinking is not delusional at all, but reality, for any idea, any thought, no matter how delusional it is, is the Truth, is the fact, and is reality. Mighty slippery slope you have chosen to travel. If consistency and coherence is a factor, which of course, it isn't.

 

class

classic example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect...as I posted earlier, scientific/biologically ignorance on your part.

You have your prejudices and you're sticking with them regardless of the science to the contrary.

Is the world still flat in your head too, after all that was the scientific consensus too at one time.

 

Can you define gender?

 

I thought gender was the polite way to say sex, but now the definition is changing into something weird.
