Gender identification is a spectrum, whether you want to accept that or not. People who recognize their fluid mix of masculine and feminine qualities tend to find and appreciate each other, whereas rigid stiffs remain isolated from much of society by clinging to their strictly binary rut. The great American poet Willie Nelson recognized this in his musical compositions. I personally enjoy all my gender fluid relationships.
The strictly binary people who are in a rut are those who are currently villifying trans people. Trans people and other non-normies DO exist, and will continue to exist even if they are told by control freaks NOT to exist.
I am trans. I'm also pretty rigid in my gender role. I'm not fluid at all, but I'm not stuck in a rut either.
Likewise with me. For those who feel they are non-binary, more power to them. Me, I am quite binary, trans female.
I was talking about binary people who ARE stuck in a dogmatic rut. They not only dismiss the existence of trans people, but also that of gender fluid people. The official new federal policy in the USA is that you are assigned at birth by some "authority" to be either male or female, and are bound by law to accept that assignment. That is the rut I am talking about. All people have human rights, no matter what their gender expression might be. People who do not accept this are indeed marginalizing a significant portion of society.
Can a person with two genitals count? I have friend that born with both vagina & penis,.. we are friend from my childhood, grow up together, I don't know about his(this time I he still a man) secret ,until he show me his weird private part, He said that I have to keep secret, bcoz if people know, they will mock him, his case are complicated, his act more to a girl, soft and girly body, When time he mature, he didn't get any period, meaning that he is male, but his family don't want do any surgery to repair his genitals, So he live with both penis and vagina, and choose to be a woman...
Certainly. Being trans, non-binary, or gender-fluid is not about genitals. It is about how you identify yourself as a person. If your friend feels that they are sometimes male and sometimes female, then they would be gender-fluid. Intersex people, such as your friend, often have similar experiences to transgender people. In many cases, their odds of being correctly gendered at birth are no more than 50-50.
I met a family a few months ago at our local nude resort whose one child of teen years was duel gendered. I'm guessing the father had a need to explain as we were all in the hot tub. He opened the conversation up. I wasn't offended by it nor overly curious being I have heard of it. But I did get a better understanding of the life. How some parents will chose early in a child's life and surgically choose the child gender. This family chose to let their child develop and choose on their own. She was choosing to be of female gender and had yet if ever choose about surgery of any sort. I was proud of how she accepted herself and level headed the entire family was about it all
