Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

Well, for one it gives validity to the idea that an XXY person - for example - can exist as something that is normative rather than abnormal or worse, something they "made up". I mean, all you really need to do is read this thread and you can already get an idea of how many people feel that they simply don't exist. And this is even a more progressive forum than most.

You can talk about abolishing gender roles all you like ( and hell, I'd heartily agree with you on that count) but sadly the only way to really change perception on a global scale is to institutionalize something.

This makes a lot of sense.

I was under the impression that people with supernumary sex chromosome and other such sex-noodling situations were generally cis.

Like, an XXY person generally develops as a male and identifies as a man. And someone with complete androgen insensitivity disorder generally develops as a female and identifies as a woman.

Intersex people can be identify as a particular gender, too. I knew someone who was intersex and he identified as male because that was what he felt like he was supposed to be.

And I should clarify, his parents tried to raise him as female but he refused it because he felt that he was male, not that he identified as male because that was what other people wanted him to be.

That's actually not the case at all. There are a lot of XXY people who identify as female or third gender. There is really no single study of intersex people that can claim to a show an average sexuality or gender identity, simply because those individuals can be so hard to contact.

In these cases we can only refer to case studies or numbers of procedures that have been performed, and that's probably not all that indicative of reality.
