So folks, it's a very weird world we live in. This is probably old news to many, but in New York, they now recognize more than 31 genders. Among those are:
Cross-dresser
Drag King
Drag Queen
Femme Queen
Female-to-Male
FTM
Gender Bender
Genderqueer
Male-to-Female
MTF
Non-Op
(https://heatst.com/culture-wars/here-are-the-31-gender-identities-new-york-city-recognizes/)
Just to name a few.
Why do I say more than 31? Well, the list is "not exhaustive" which in other words mean, its infinite. So if you feel like a Man-fish or a female homosexual, heey, you can just go for it! Not only that "Failure to comply with the NYCCHR’s views on gender identity, by committing what it deems to be “gender identity” based discrimination, can be punished with a fine of up to $250,000 — on top of other damages a complainant may be awarded."....
Dam, that can easily become an expensive punishment for refusing to call someone zir, xe, spivak or calling someone a male instead of the obvious Gender Bender!
I read this book a couple of years back:
And the author talked about a feminine, and masculine side of the brain. In women, usually the feminine side was dominant, and vice versa for men. But of course, in some cases, the opposite was true. She also talked about how artists and creative thinkers usually had a very balanced relationship between both sides. If you are a man who feel like a women, would that not just make you a man with a dominating feminine side?
I am not saying this book has the facts and the answers to any of this, but to me, it has created some clarity, and logic in this "debate" on genders. To me, you are not any less of a man because you like to dress up like a women. It can however be an indication that your feminine side is dominant. Cause you can not... NOT just change your gender cause of the clothes you choose to wear or what you feel like.
And by the way, does these genders go cross species? Can you find a Genderqueer cat? or a Female-to-male parrot? I can't say I have seen any.
Anyways, I recommend you all to listen to this discussion between Jordan Peterson and A.W. Peet on the subject.
and this discussion:
Just to be clear, You and everyone else have every right to be and act as you choose, and there is nothing wrong with being a feminine dude or a masculine girl. But I do not agree with someone who truly believes “Drag Queen” is a gender. I would really like a discussion on the topic, if someone believes my position on the matter is wrong, then I have no issue changing my views if you can provide any real evidence on the existence of 31+ genders.
Later!
