Part 14 of my #Pride #Vexillology series: Aromantic

Designed in 2014, the aromantic flag represents individuals who feel little to no romantic attraction to anyone of any gender. Aromantics do not feel any internal desire to have romantic relationships to feel fulfilled in their daily lives.

However, this does not mean that an aro person is incapable of feeling sexual attraction to others, or that they are cold and heartless. Aro folks can have just as intense of sexual attraction to others as romantic folks and can have deep, meaningful platonic relationships that can be warm and affectionate.

Green = aromanticism (green is the opposite of red, the color of romance)

Light green & gray = the aro spectrum

White = aesthetic attraction & platonic friendship

Black = all sexual orientations

Wrong. Male means that you are of the phenotype that produces a specific type of gamete, called the male gamete, small gamete, or sperm. Female means that you are of the phenotype that produces the other type of gamete, called the female gamete, large gamete, or ovum. One of each gamete is required for human reproduction. No human can produce both gametes.

Some men are more masculine and some are more feminine. Some women are more feminine and some are more masculine. One's gender (masculine traits versus feminine traits) is a social construct and is an independent dimension from one's sex. Saying that men should only be masculine and that women should only be feminine, and/or that gender stereotypes define them as men and women, is sexist and regressive.

I will agree with you that the shape of your genitalia is not strictly relevant to your sex, male or female. Intersex people do exist albeit very rare, and the shape of their genitalia do not conform to the norms of their sexual phenotype. However, if you have complete male genitalia and produce sperm, you are a man and will always be a man even if you amputate your penis and scrotum and get silicone implanted chesticles. If you have a womb and produce eggs, you will still be a woman even if you mutilate your breasts and vulva and take testosterone to make your voice deep, grow facial hair and develop "male pattern baldness", which really should be called testosterone baldness since it is the testosterone causing it, not the fact of being male.

We are more or less in agreement here except for the fact that I (like the vast majority of people in everyday conversation) am using the common understanding of the terms male, female, man, and woman to refer to one’s gender, not one’s biological sex in clinical definition.

Might I also point out (hopefully without sounding like I’m trying to argue, because I’m really not) that this is why I use the common terms transgender, gender fluid, genderqueer, etc rather than transex, etc. You are right, in clinical, scientific terms, there are effectively 3 sexes. Male, female, and intersex, but in everyday use, gender is what people are referring to when they say things like male, female, man, woman.

If the thing you bitch about most in society is what pronouns people prefer for themselves, then your life must be pretty easy and pretty boring.

Just chill out, you have it made. #grownostr #chillout

Part 13 of my #Pride #vexillology series: Genderfluid

Developed in 2013, this flag exists to give space to those whose gender identity fluctuates during different times of life or whose gender expression shifts with different circumstances. Genderfluid individuals may also identify as generally non-binary or generally transgender and many transgender people find home in this term during middle stages of transition. For others, gender fluidity may continue throughout life.

Each color represents a different aspect of the Genderfluid community:

Pink = femininity

Blue = masculinity

White = agender

Black = all genders

Purple = a combination of masculinity & femininity

Oh hello Israel #grownostr #memes

It’s funny how conservatives are so critical of mUh SCieNcE (as they should be) until it comes to sex and gender, then they act just as stupidly as leftists, as if science was a set of established facts instead of a process of continuous learning. #grownostr

Call it controversial, but honestly I like this version better than the original

Well I love that (shitting off the news) for you guys! But as far as rocky life stuff, I definitely understand that. Just know, it’ll pass

Part 12 of my #Pride #vexillology series: Genderqueer

The Genderqueer pride flag was created in 2011 to represent those people that reject the traditional categories of gender.

Genderqueer is an umbrella term used to describe identities outside the traditional, cis-gender binary. Very similar to the term ā€œnon-binaryā€, ā€œgenderqueerā€ was first used in queer magazines in the 1980s and predates the emergence of the term ā€œnon-binaryā€, but ā€œgenderqueerā€ can also refer to genderfluid people as well as other gender identities or expressions.

For this flag,

lavender = androgyny and other queer identities

white = agender

green = non-binary

#grownostr #TIL

I’m not sure what you are referring specifically to but whatever it is, it’ll pass.

I personally have taken the approach of not watching/reading/listening to the news. I personally don’t need the extra stress and emotional manipulation. I figure if something is local enough for it to affect me or be important to me, I’ll hear about it.

The scene in Idiocracy where the cops immediately shoot up the car without even trying to arrest Not Sure really isn’t that exaggerated

Snort has a delete note option? I thought that wasn’t possible on Nostr?

Ok so apparently that stuff took a minute to show up for some reason, but my profile pic is still skewed over there and for some reason I can’t comment. The text box will show up, but I can’t actually submit the comment 🄓
