Are you naive enough to believe there are two sexes, man and woman? If so, you are committing gender oppression and are guilty of genderism.

Shame on you!

If you'd like a peek at the madness on it's way to a state near you, check out Hot Air - Connecticut officially redefines all language dealing with “gender” « Hot Air

Here's the Daily Caller article the Hot Air story is based on - Connecticut Gov: Believing In Two Genders Is 'Genderism' | The Daily Caller

Start here for your trip down the rabbit hole. Safe Harbor Project Scroll down to Gender Identity/Expression Fact Card July 7 2016. Anyone know what a two-spirit gender blender is? Someone in CT does.

I bet the answer is in here somewhere. shp: LGBT Definitions

What's a shame is IMO the SJW'S are helping to create a new generation of totally effed up kids, more confused about gender that ever. And they're doing it on purpose.

I really don't care what bathroom people use and adults can assume any persona that they feel fits them. Gays only differ from straights in who they are attracted to. Not a big deal for me at all. Everyone should have equal civil rights. That said, except for the extremely rare case of someone born of indeterminate sex, there are only two sexes, male and female. I don't know or care what makes someone gay or transgender and accept all as they are but if you are born with a penis you are male and if with a vagina, a female. It really is that simple. Yes some males are attracted to other males and some males feel like they are a female, but biologically they are males plain and simple. The craziness is getting out of hand.

I think this whole 50 some genders thing is the result of two things: contradictor trans rights movements and strict gender norms.

When gender norms are too strict, it alienates people who maybe don't fit every stereotype of how a man or a woman should act. And when trans rights completely contradicts feminism, despite feminism being among the main advocates for it, it creates an unstable set of values that lead people to this sort of thinking.

There are two genders. How you act is up to you. A man can find sports brutish and unenjoyable. A woman can enjoy sports a lot. I think that some people have something that makes them feel they are the other gender and I do believe these people deserve rights. However, we should be more critical of their transitions as, espeically with male to female, these procedures can do more harm than good. Perhaps finding alternatives to helping trans people be comfortable with themselves would be more helpful to them in the long run, even if it's not as happy feeling.

I wouldn't mind dabbling in androgyny, but Mr. Johnson won't let me.

There are two sexes. Genders, I'm not so sure of.

That's not very flexible of you, now is it?

Personally, I thought I suffered from gynephelia, or an attraction to adult females from age 20-50.

But no, it turns out - "Gynephilia is philologically inconsequent, as it takes the nominative instead of the root, and would have as its counterpart anerphilia not androphilia; while gynophilia is formed in violation of Greek word formation rules. The term gynophilia is used to mean "attraction to adult women", in contrast with pedophilia, with the aim of therapy usually being to replace pedophilic desires with teleiophilic ones. The age zone of gynephile interests is defined likewise as in case of androphilia"

Wtf!

It makes you realize why Connecticut has the highest state debt per capita in the nation.

Sometimes, people are girls, boys, or simply children.
