[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An awful lot of people in this discussion, including OP, need to learn the difference between gender and sexuality.  [/quote]

Yes this is such a problem.

Sexuality is who you’re attracted to (and not necessarily in a sexual way, it can just refer to crushes).

Gender is more complicated but we can think about it by exploring how we would feel if somebody called “sir” if we are a woman or “ma’am” if we are a man. We might not be able to put a finger on why it is inappropriate but we all know that it feels wrong.

Gender and sexuality are not binary (there aren’t just two), they are bimodal. which is a statistical term where you can look at the spectrum of how people identity with their gender and you will see two humps where most people identify as a man or woman (with some being Uber-men and some super-(feminine) and then some are in between those two bigger curves.

Technically, this is incorrect.  There are two genders, as determined by the XY or XX chromosomes.  How someone feels is a completely different discussion.  [/quote]

You are talking about sex not gender and not sexuality... and there are 5 not 2, male, female, herms, merms, and ferms.

hermaphrodites, whom I call herms, who possess one testis and one ovary (the sperm- and egg-producing vessels, or gonads); the male pseudohermaphrodites (the "merms"), who have testes and some aspects of the female genitalia but no ovaries; and the female pseudohermaphrodites (the "ferms"), who have ovaries and some aspects of the male genitalia but lack testes.[/quote]
