You're right, I did mention those things, but I very plainly said that I don't have very many stereotypically masculine interests and lean more towards liking feminine things, so your entire argument has nothing to do with me. I also explained having feelings of physical dysphoria, but I guess that's just not important?

In any case, the idea that 'male' and 'female' are the only genders is not a universal belief anyway. In the past there have been several cultures that acknowledged people who did not identify with either category too, and even today across the world there are people who identify as neither and are actively campaigning to be acknowledged. It's not a new thing that only teenagers on the internet are making up for themselves.

Your comparison to the Kinsey scale is more accurate than you'd think. After all, the Kinsey scale too is simplistic, as it still assumes that there is an extreme of 'heterosexuality' and 'homosexuality' and everything else is a spectrum of bisexuality between the two, ignoring people who are asexual or pansexual.

DA

and yes, I've seen many people appropriate Indian and Native American cultural concepts of gender and apply them to their Western selves.

I take it, you haven't heard of the place called Albania. It's a country in Europe and it had the concept of a third gender since centuries.

re:kinsey, I didn't entirely udnerstand what the anon above is tryign to argue here, but there are many people int his world who identify as bisexual, not as "straight with an atypical preference". Just like people can identify as nonbinary, instead of simply "man" and "woman".
