Any other gender diverse people here?

True maybe as re the scale of things I didn't don't have a major gender dysphoria. As regards sex there's only two, well three as some people are born hermaprodite, sexuality and then gender are whole different kettles of fish. I'n confused I thought I'd read that there were 37 genders tho I read this and see Facebook gives users 51 possible genders to choose from www.thedailybeast.com/.../the-complete-glossary-of-facebook-s-51-gender-options.html I know biologically I feel female,tho in my brain I sometimes feel gender fluid or gender non conformist. I know women are supposed to be the nurturers and men the grafters,hunter gatherers, income earners. Tho I've never had strong parenting instincts. I think babies look nice, but if they start crying I wouldn't have a clue what to do. I prefer to have dogs or cats.I know some friends who are perhaps more traditional in their roles, and maybe think women work as usually need two incomes to keep the mortgage going, to pay bills and put food on the table.  I know in my former brother in law's case he has two teenagers, tho his eldest is now 20 from his first marriage, and a son of I think he's about 4 or 5 with his second wifeworks, she has the higher income, tho I don't think more traditonally minded friends say it's wrong if agreed between the couple.As re  typical traditional male or female roles I do think it's a mix of both nature and nurture. I wonder what a careers teacher would've said had I been a teenager in the 1930's and I'd have said to him/her that I wanted to be a train driver!!!

WOW this thread seens to have taken a diverse turn, and I'm not just talking about gender, but we've gone on to books, music, railways, the military to name but a few and agreed it would be boring if everyone conformed as to typical male/female interests. I did say I got involved with the Royal British Legion, due to my friend/fella having combat PTSD, and I know sometimes the men have their own meet up as do the women, and I can't help but think the men's meeting is more interesting, one night they said about their "steam night" and I said I'd like to have joined in. I've one friend who is a Baptist( before I knew about her beliefs)  and once or twice I've gone along to the ladies group, but I find it isn't me, I think I went along to stop her pestering me to go, tho you'll never take my Pagan away. Don't get me wrong if others want to be Christians I'm fine with that but please accept that it isn't me. Also I think it's an age thing, the church seems geared up to groups for mums & tots or older women, I know it's for women of any age, but I do feel out of place as I gather most 40 somethings are out at work, when the groups are on. I think I went to avoid isolation, maybe that's another myth that people with ASD prefer to be alone. I do like to be alone, but sometimes I just feel like interaction with another human.

OH yes as re Black Sabbath I think Masters Of Reality is perhaps my favourite album, for Into The Void. I like Black Sabbath , Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paraniod esp for Hand Of Doom, and also Sabotage. AS re ukuleles check out the Ukeboys channel on youtube, they cover songs by Deep Purple, Metallica and Judas Priest, can't quite seem to work out "Breaking The Law"  www.youtube.com/watch. I'll have to try and find "Smells Like Teen Spirit on ukulele.

AS re Jamie Oliver not keen on the bloke. I like those ales, have you tried Bishops Finger or Spitfire ale, not quite as strong, or Brewdog do some great craft beers, they also do one "Nanny State" which is alcohol free , well 0.5% so I do like those for when I want an ale but can't really have one.  I do like some lager through a friend I got to know some veteran  Army Air Despatchers who served in the Borneo conflict, they were based in Singapore so would often drink Tiger Beer, so I've a liking for Tiger Beer, tho the Edinburgh brewed beer isn't as good as the Singapore brewed version, tho it's much harder to find the Singapore brewed version here, some specialist Chinese supermarkets may stock it!!!
