There are 6 genders, Your can be up, down, strange, charmed, a top or a bottom.

Though if you're really anti-establishment you can also be the exact opposite to any of those.

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a bottom. I'm an antitop.

I'd love to, but unfortunately I annihilate on contact.

Unfortunately not. LGBTQ stands for Leptons, Gauge Bosons, Transgender, and Quarks. Sorry higgs.

I don't think biology has much at all to say about gender though? Basic biology says there are two sexes, more advanced biology introduces chromosomal configurations other than XX and XY, and even more advanced biology considers a complex array of factors beyond chromosomes alone, but isn't gender a social construct? Sure, historically it's been correlated to biological sex, but it's not really addressed directly by biology.

well he is getting laughed at in the meme, because he can't differentiate sex and gender either

What results from a persons biology has people say a lot about gender, and that's where the social construct comes in, yeah.

You have the genotype, karyotype and phenotype, that may or may not be strictly related to each other depending on what happens during development in the womb.

And now I realize I've already started to go on a tangent that wouldn't even address your comment anymore, so I'll stop myself

But it's fascinating. I'd love to get a karyogram done, to see if my chromosomes actually match what people would expect from the person I lived as up to this point.

Would you expect something non-standard, or rather - would you be disappointed if it were one way or the other?

I don't really expect anything, no.

Being a newly realized transwoman, it would be kinda fun to have XX chromosomes and show that to the Simple Biology™ crowd, not gonna lie.

But then again, science has already established that chromosomes don't have to mean what many people think they mean, so that wouldn't matter.

Though I'd also just like more karyograms to be done in general, to have a better understanding of how present certain karyotypes actually are

How about some advanced biology where you take into account each individuals hormone production levels, types of hormones produced, amount of receptors for each hormone and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't know about.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The idea that you can cleanly separate parts of a whole is a useful lie. Gender is a separate part of a person, except for all the ways it's not. A person is a separate part of the world, except for how they're not.

We're all fundamental particles doing a bajillion things per second in an indescribably complex dance and we label a subset of the near-infinite patterns in this mess "gender".

The people who would deny genders would totally deny all the crazy extra dimensions.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 year ago

Eh... nah. They wouldn't understand it, but Alex Jones and Joe Rogan talk about extra dimensions all the time, as well as people like the Happy Science Cult and space weirdos like Project Camelot. All while most of them have regressive sexual and gender opinions.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

Why are you using that alphabet soup to do algebra? There are only 10 digits, it's basic math!!1!!

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Somehow I don’t expect someone who touts “basic biology” to understand advanced physics.

Thank you for not discriminating against us stupid motherfuckers.

As an ignorant motherfucker I don't like this edit.

According to supersymmetric gender theory, there are 10 genders. Other commonly studied theories include 11 or even 26 genders.

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They say the additional genders curl around each other and vibrate.

so true bestie

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

People that say that don't seem to knownthe difference between sex and gender. In humans there are only 2 sexes, male and female, but your gender isn't based on your sex... Afaik anyways could be that im wrong too

Edit: nvm there is also intersex so it's not 2 sexes. However sex still isnt the same as gender

[–] euphoric_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

that isn't so binary, intersex people exist, that's a whole rabbithole too.

Damn didn't think of that thanks for reminding me

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 1 year ago

I've been told I'm one-dimensional and that's just flat out wrong. I'm at least three dimensional.

[–] Fungah@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When they say gender they mean sex.

They mean different things to you. They don't to them.

There, argument over.

[–] Arcity@feddit.nl 19 points 1 year ago

And yet there are intersex people. It really isn't just a semantic argument.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Right: basic and fundamental don't mean "immutable." They mean "for children."

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

No, he does not.
