20 Common Gender Identity Terms, As Defined By Psychologists And Sex Experts

So, you're interested in learning all the terms and phrases someone might use to express their gender identity. Or maybe, you're exploring your own gender, and looking for the right word or words. Either way, there are a lot of terms out there, and you might have a few questions—especially if you're realizing that you don't (always) identify with the gender assigned to you at birth......

What is gender identity? In short: “Gender identity is how you feel about yourself and the ways you express your gender,” says Jackie Golob, MS, LPCC, an AASECT-certified sex therapist in Minnesota.

It’s important to note that genitalia does not equal gender, and someone's genitals have no bearing on whether they identify as a man, a woman, non-binary, or anything else. “The sex characteristics a person is born with do not signify a person's gender identity,” adds Golob. “When people have ‘gender reveal parties,’ it really should be called a ‘genital reveal party.’”.......

Now that you know the basics, here's a deeper dive into what all the terms related to gender and sex mean.

1. Agender

2. Bigender

3. Cisgender

4. Demigender

5. Female

6. Femme

7. Gender Non-Conforming

8. Gender-Expansive

9. Genderfluid

10. Genderqueer

11. Gendervoid

12. Graygender

13. Intersex

14. Male

15. Non-binary

16. Omnigender

17. Pangender

18. Polygender

19. Transgender

20. Two-spirit

While these terms may be helpful for some, the labels listed may not feel right to others, and that's okay. Gender is a spectrum, and there is no finite number of gender identities. In fact, "there are infinite places you can land on," says Mezulis.

I'm old enough to have learned in high school English that "gender" is the sex of words, mostly nouns. For example ships at sea are referred to as female as in "she sails at dawn".

That aside, there are two types of allosomes, XX (males) and XY (females).

An extraordinarily small number of defective sex chromosomes are not just XX or XY.

Importantly, the above are determined at conception in humans, and are not at all a matter of choice.

I’m not going to follow the advice of these cat owning box wine guzzling females. Though they write for a magazine that purports to aid in women’s health, their so-called advice does more harm then good.

All of them are sick or perverts, except two.

—XX and XY.

—You either have a penis or a vagina.

If genetics and anatomy do not define ones sex, and it’s merely what we decide it to be, then it can be anything (not even restricted to human) and change by hour. This puts “real women” at risk, disadvantage and inconvenience.

The true loser in all of this will be biological women. You’re seeing this already in sports, with dirty toilets or access to them, young girls needing to worry about a man in their bathroom or changing room...

13 is a medical condition.

5 and 14 are biologically the norm.

Don’t dump on 13 because it is a real thing, a type of birth defect that hopefully can be cured.

All the rest is in the head.

How about the Bible📘:

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

I'm beginning to think there really are only two genders:

1. Sane
2. Insane

In the US, people are still free to live with their own delusions.

That does not mean I need to accommodate my life/beliefs to fit their mental illness. Eff that.

Gender is soooo last week. I’m going with species so am self identifying between 8 and 9 o’clock this morning as a purple penguin and taking it farther with being broccoli between 9 and 9:13 AM. Then I’ll morph into a breadbox for the rest of the day.

There’s nothing wrong with cat ownership!

(Though of course plenty wrong with those creating and supporting this type of article.)

Female = XX

Male = XY

That's all one needs to know.

Everything else is 🦬💩...a delusion.

In the early 1970’s, there was a movement to replace all pronouns with the gender neutral “co”. It went nowhere. As ridiculous as it was, it was less ridiculous than trying to figure out what pronoun to call someone.

Think of the outright havoc these enablers have caused to society. Here’s a question. How no in France, for example, are the terms “le” and “la” to be applied to common things?

with the gender assigned to you at birth......

Nothing is “assigned”..you are either male or female [or in rare cases hermaphrodite].
You are not assigned. Saying so is when the idiocy and madness begins.

So an honest question. If a dude goes ahead with it all, chops his balls off, gets a man made vagina and boobs, since he now has a vagina does that make him a female? This whole thing is confusing as hell and unfortunately I’m dealing with one on a daily basis.
