So can you explain what gender is, then?
I've always viewed gender & sex as being an issue of parts or lack of parts a human is born with, and gender is their sexual personality or preferences.
Do you believe there are specific (limited in quantity) genders?
- amyjess 11y agoGender is the sex of the brain.
- thret 11y agoI always assumed it was defined by procreation - when we assign gender to individuals of a species - the females lay eggs/give birth, and the males fertilize them.
- hellbanner 11y agoThis breaks down in hermaphrodite creatures and creatures who change sex.
- thret 11y agoHermaphrodites are both, creatures who change sex start as one gender and become another. I don't see a problem.
- hellbanner 11y agoWhy are these labels important to those who use them -- why bother with a "gender" noun and instead use a description of what your sexuality functions as?
