Two facts about homo sapiens:
If you have a penis, you're a male of the species!
If you have a vagina, you're a female of the species!
🇳🇱
@skulljudenfreund And what are you when your genitals are you when you have both and are in the middle?
@freemo the question makes no sense to me - please rephrase it, so I can understand what you are trying to ask
@skulljudenfreund What is a person who has a penis and a vagina, or neither?
@freemo a person who has a penis and a vagina is a hermaphrodite. I have no idea what someone is called who has neither
@skulljudenfreund Well, intersexed is the term, not hermaphrodite. But yea, as long as we recognize its not just the two options for people.
Mostly female, and mostly male and either genders, nore is transgender a gender in its own right.
This is perhaps my one issue about Hubzilla, and anything else forked from Friendica.
They don't seem to get that Its male, female, or intersex. Not ninety plus genders that have nothing to do with biology, and are just redefining the same thing is not how you'd be accepting of trans folk.
@LWFlouisa
Also the discussion was about sex, gender is a different, though related, idea. Gender too though is a bipolar spectrum. If people are saying there are 90+ they probably are referring to orientation.
@skulljudenfreund
@LWFlouisa
Or just offer lots of markers and let people use them as they wish with everything being optional.
@skulljudenfreund
@LWFlouisa
Some people want that distinction to go away, so often the confusion is intentional.
@skulljudenfreund
Cause this list in question confuses orientation, gender, and sex big time.:/
I might see if I can find a picture of the list I refer to.
If a social network reflected everything, that would be ... very hard to program. I like the compromise Pleroma did. Justnot list gender as a marker.
