What gender are you?

[kenaij]

I think breeding is excessive and more giving individuals would adopt a child needing parents. I wouldn't either of the options because I'm an antinatalist but also because I know my own difficulties in life, genetically and I don't like anything about children, spending time with them, etc.

It's very important to discuss such future plans from the first dates to see if people match.

It was indeed one of the first things I brought up.
To the other part. Some people have no choice but to adopt. Or had a donor/carrier mom. But to me. I think I could never love an adopted child as much as a biological child between me and my partner. To me it would always feel I was taking care of someone else’s child. I’m very glad there are a lot of people that don’t think and feel like me. The world would be a worse place if they did.

REMINDER

OP's topic:

"It was once thought that autism was a purely male phenomenon. Now we know there are a great many females on the spectrum. Tony Attwood believes it is more like two males to every one female. I thought it might be interesting to get an idea of how those figures stack up with the people on this forum."

The poll asks what gender you identify as.

It's not necessary to discuss reproductive plans, pros & cons, or adoption, hormone therapy.....etc

Please direct further replies to the topic as stated in the title of this thread.

I don’t have identity.

This makes me gender neutral. I am “biologically male”. AMAB

“Biological gender” only matters when we look through the lens of a patriarchal culture in which biologically born males who identify as male have defined “disorders”.

“Autism” is not specific to gender, gender identity or gender assignment at birth. It is part of the brain… not the genitalia

 

[Misty Avich]

I just go by gender assigned at birth. My gender ain't in my head, what's in my head is me.

Gender fluid.

I relate to female
And my gender is female
However I would never be prejudice to people who relate to something else.
Because all people are beautiful.

short version:

long version:

I've written & rewritten the most stereotypical come-out kinds of posts and either deleted them or accidentally closed the tab by mistake. I'm too old to keep on with this again. Going on HRT to deal with biochemical issues as soon as I possibly can. The main reasons I never came out as trans was because of dealing with the social stuff, and as a teenager I was horribly isolated--If I'd known I would've come out as a teenager. If I had had support or help I'd have done it then.

Looking on the internet for a list of gender dysphoria symptoms (not weird crossdresser nonsense but the basic side of it) basically brought up, not an obscure curio of medicine, but a description of my personality: a list of derealization symptoms.

It is high time I did another crazy science experiment

I go with XX and XY chromosomes It appears that the combination YY doesn't exist, so there is no need to worry about that. People can call themselves whatever they want, which is not my problem. I never doubted my manhood, so the topic of gender identity is of a very little interest to me. However, I am interested in the phenomenon of hermaphroditism for the reason of scientific curiosity. So far I haven't found a clear explanation of this phenomenon.

I'm male although honestly have gender fluid pieces. On a scale from 0-10 (zero being pure male and 10 being pure female) I'd say I'm somewhere around a 4-5 on that scale.

I am one of those people with weird genetics and am missing an x chromosome, which is the physical determinant of gender. I identify as female, but have always felt equally male or boyish, and when I look at myself in a mirror I see myself as both genders.

Gender diversity isn't a problem, imo.
It is the power abuse/control from some that comes with it that is.

I am a cis-male, but I don't embrace a stereotypical gender identity.
I prefer to be myself, rather than adopt a cookie-cutter personality that someone else has designed.
I think Machismo is downright laughable. lol

So you are XY?

 

[RemyZee]

So you are XY?

"Turner syndrome, commonly known as 45,X, or 45,X0, is a chromosomal disorder in which female cells have only one X chromosome instead of two, or are partially missing an X chromosome leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions in the affected X chromosome. Typically, people have two sex chromosomes. The chromosomal abnormality is often present in just some cells, in which case it is known as Turner syndrome with mosaicism. 45,X0 with mosaicism can occur in males or females, but Turner syndrome without mosaicism only occurs in females." Yes, I have 1 rather than two x chromosomes (a deletion). --I have been told I have indications of Turner Syndrome. It helped to learn about it, because I would say: throughout my life I have always felt as though I were both genders...like there is nothing really about me that is clearly female or male in how I think, how I look or how I relate. So it really bothers me all this shaming talk about gender....many many people have different expressions of ourselves, and it makes a person want to crawl under a table to hear how people are being criminalized for how they express themselves.

Yes, to me so much of it is a performance. Those who do not perform their gender correctly face scrutiny. Men moreso than women although women do face their own scrutiny for not performing their gender correctly.

I wasn't sure if you were being literal or figurative.
