We have to watch out for each other. We gotta pat each other's own heads. Senko San isnt real

@shebang @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins I really do think that we need to do research on those who identify as "non-binary", even if most of them are looking for attention because non-binary gender does not make any evolutionary sense.

Intersex is usually pointed out as "evidence" that non-binary genders exists, but being intersex is nothing more than a birth defect like being born with extra fingers. Most of the time the genitalia that makes someone intersex is non-functional due to the lack of other parts to make it functional.

There have been studies linking gender dysphoria to autism. I guess there is a similar connection to those who identify as non-binary. Autistic people have a hard time learning social norms including those that involve gender. Maybe they feel like they don't fall under either gender due to failing to recognize gender roles and social norms, so they think that they are neither male or female.

@realcaseyrollins @shebang @tuxcrafting going back and reading what the rest of the thread was about (:blobcatderpy:) i pretty much agree with all of you. i tend to see it as there are two genders but there's a hormonal gradient between the two. which is not the same thing as 40 genders. and it's not the "2 genders = anti-trans" dog whistle.

TERFs are jerks although i kind of get part of the message now that we're seeing more men going on HRT just to cheat at sports and get easier wins.

LOL

Honestly all of these tech issues are caused by old/broken computers

But do we wanna replace them? nooooo kandoo bucko

@shebang @realcaseyrollins @tuxcrafting "non-binaries" were classically just called "androgynous" and they were just considered weird but I don't think anyone particularly cared too much.

@shebang @realcaseyrollins even goes beyond feminism. For example, there is a growing minority of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals who want to distance themselves from the transgender, intersex, and non-binary communities and go back to just being LGB. I don't know if there is a name for them, but I guess you can call them Gender Critical Queers or something like that.

@realcaseyrollins @tuxcrafting Well. I donno where other people lay, but I only acknowledge 2 genders, and I think that trans people are only trans if they have gender dysphoria and specifically the brain condition that causes G/D. Being trans is a medical condition, its detectable with brain scans these days even. There is more evidence that people don’t choose to be trans than there is that people don’t choose to be gay at this point.

I’m pretty firm on this, if you don’t have G/D then you aren’t trans, you are probably Gender non-conforming, or maybe just a gender cosplayer having a fun time appropriating a pretty serious and unpleasant medical condition.

But nowhere in the studies have there been examples of 72 genders or really anything outside of that. That said, AFAIK that hasn’t been much in the way of studies about the brains of Non-binaries — so there is no real evidence there, but there is no real research there. I guess it seems plausible that if problems during development people can end up with the brain being gendered incorrectly, that some people might end up “in the middle” somewhere though.

At least some of that would fall under gender critical from what I understand of it.

おはようございます(*^^*)
