A discussion in this forum made me ask myself this question, what's gender?. I googled it but what I found there didn't make much sense to me. I always thought that the gender of the other person doesn't tell me much about who they are. It just informs me about the appropriate pronouns that this person wants me to use with them. Frankly I don't care about figuring out my gender. I was born in a woman's body and I never felt like it's the wrong one. I think I'd feel the same if I was born in a man's body. I have never spent time thinking about this part of myself because I never thought that it's important enough to me. I'll be the same person anyway, no? I don't think it would change much about who I am... Can anyone share how they understand gender?
Gender is a word. But there's more to it than simply male or female. Picture cancer, there's more to it than simply a disease, there are different types, just like there are different types of genders. Sorry for using cancer to explain this but I think it works in a way.
But a lot of people will disagree with some genders. It's a difficult topic that will usually result in arguments and disagreements both in the online world and real world.
