There are only two genders. Man and Woman. He and She.

what is your reasoning for this

on January 27, 2019

Well there is absolutely no biological evidence to suggest otherwise. No matter what anyone feels in the inside we all either have xx or su chromosomes. No such thing as a z chromosome. That not only determines your sex but also gender. If there were multiple genders it would be very noticeable. It’s obvious that to transform yourself into a gender that doesn’t exist is completely unatural and inhumane which is why the transgender suicide rates are so high and it does not get better after surgery of any kind.

And besides all that, to have man and woman was God’s original plan for humanity.

i see where your coming from until you get to the transgender part of your argument. when a man transitions to a woman (mtf) or a woman transitions into a male (ftm) they are not making a new gender. i believe that the surgery’s are to help aliviate gender dysphoria which is a mental illness that makes one transgender. not being able to “pass” is also not the is not the only reason for transgender suicide, it’s important to also take into account whether or not they have support from family and friends, pre existing mental illness like depression ect.

Yeah of course, you’re right. But back into the other topic that’s why I believe there are only two genders. If not then no one has been able to tell me how many genders are there.

How you explain people born with both parts then? This is simply not a argument but a question, at that point they could claim to be either and removing one of the parts would that therefore give them he opportunity to claim as the other?

if someone is born with both parts and their parents choose the wrong gender they would transition to the other, but they would still be in the gender binary, they would be one of the two genders

Being born with both parts you will still have the anatomy and grow up to only be one of those genders… whichever gender your chromosomes tell you to grow up as.

Regardless if you’re born with both parts, not only is that an extreme example and very rare, but it also proves my original point. A person can only be born with either or. And if it’s both then there’s only two. Same amount of genders. Men and wemen, he and she.

Just because you are trans or intersex doesn’t mean you get your own gender. Trans is the switching between the two and intersex is the combination of two/ lack of gender.

Gender by the definition seems to mean not the literal definition of gender, but instead the social roles and expectations that follow with it. I don’t understand a lot of the transgender stuff as I am not, but I do understand not fitting in which certain expectations that are put upon you. Still the definition at most has a grasp on 5 genders, one of which encompassing all the seemingly endless others. While gender seems to be such a flex word, so does the use of the word. The problem and why people I think need a gender to identify with is because gender roles do not apply to most people, or at least all people. Male and Female just don’t work for them. But, I think inherently the problem with this is that Masculine and Feminine, well, exists. With that gender roles, like a Working Father and House Mom.

There are only two genders (male and female) because there are only two different sex organs and two different sex chromosomes. Even on the rare occasion that a hermaphrodite is born, they are born with the only two existing sex organs. Also, it is simply by human nature that there are only two existing genders.

there are two physical genders

Male and Female, that is because there are people with XY and XX chromosomes. You can literally distinguish the two, therefore there is a difference.

 

there are four sexual orientations, not to be confused with gender.

Asexual, Bisexual, Same-sex relation, heterosexual. Those are literally the only combinations.

 

anything else is made up and in a different category for how you “feel” about yourself. It has no actual meaning.

I think saying ‘there are more than two genders’ is mostly referred to as a metaphorical term. Basically people who want to be their opposing gender use this quote. But other than that, it’s ridiculous to think that there are more than two genders.

There is a penis and a vagina. Simple biology. I don’t care what gender you claim to be, for if it is other than the sex you were born as, it is bullshit.

Feelings aren’t a gender. There’s only two humanoid sexes.

I think there are two as a scientist. Transgenders can be male or female, “trans” shouldnt be a gender. If transgenders want to feel equal, why even claim that transgender is a gender in itself, thats basically outing them saying they are their own species in a sense. And, people who feel as though they aren’t male or female are incorrect, I’m definitely not homophobic or transphobic at ALL I literally don’t care what gender or sexuality you are. But as stated above, how you feel isn’t a gender. In the end you are female, or male, you can’t be nothing at all.
