    Male, female, and intersex. That’s 3, now shut up.

      That’s sex, not gender. Biology, not psychology.

        And these 2 are purposefully used interchangeably by right wing dipshits.

        People like you are almost as big a part of the problem as the right wing weirdos. You will gladly eat your own, for virtue points.

        The notion that even biological sex is broader than ‘the binary’ we where brought up with, is mind boggling. Untill a decade? Ago this was never discussed beyond nice circles (medical world, intersex people themselves).

        An important next step is to make sure people don’t just write intersex off as a disease or malformation. As this is the gateway to actually blowing open the whole gender conversation.

          I know they are used interchangeably on purpose oftentimes, that’s why I clarified. Some people might only know as much. My point wasn’t to invalidate intersex people but to say that intersex isn’t „the third gender“ but, if anything, „the third sex“ (and yes, I know intersex ppl aren’t a homogeneous group and there are differences). Intersex people can come in a variety of genders, as do afab and amab ppl because gender and sex aren’t the same. How is stating that a problem?

        Yeah I know, but explaining that to these people is like explaining portion control to a dog.

          I’d still try because some ppl might be willing to learn.
