It would be cool if we could not turn this into tumblr. You have an ID card in real life so ticking male or female in this box shouldn't be too hard.
I'm surprised to see the girls outnumber the guys by so much though, it's not totally unexpected but I thought there were a lot of guys here on the forums!

I kinda get what you're saying, but there definitely should be more options. At least an "other" option :/
Yes, I agree, what I said wasn't too serious. I believe there is a third gender but it shouldn't be divided into 40000 seperate genders (not gonna argue abou this again, lol), so other would be a good alternative.
ps im not a transphobe, my girlfriend is a transgirl and i am 100% okay with it, she's no different then any other girlfriends i've had.
that's great but knowing one trans person that you are okay w doesn't "protect" u from being a transphobe. even trans ppl can have transphobic thoughts and opinions. i think many people are transphobic w/o realizing it, but imo it's important to instead of going into defense mode when one has been called transphobic to instead maybee !!!! try to change !!!
anyways this is off topic so i will write something about the thread 2 alright uh
there sure are a lot of girls on this forum. yup.
So.. not believing in nonbinary people makes me transphobic..? I guess it does in your eyes, since to you (and a lot of other people, sadly) nonbinary = transgender.. :/ Doesn't make me transphobic to not believe in it you know. I 100% support transgender people and their rights.
Regardless of whether or not you believe in nonbinary genders you do realize that Intersex people exist and the option for "other" pops up on a lot of medical forms because of it, right?
Yeah, because people throw a tantrum if its not on there........
If you have a D, you have D.
If you have a V, you have a V.
If you have both, good for you. Choose whatever you want.
If you have neither, great because you still get to choose.
If you dont like what you have, be an adult and change it.
If you are not an adult or dont have the money to change it, then shut up and deal with it.
People need to stop coming up with these ridiculous rules because they think they are special.
Nobody is special. Get over yourself people.
"Nobody is special"
Damn I'm being blasted with this vintage 10th grade edge. You got me.
And no, medical forms don't care one bit about anything liberal. You fill them out for your health. Not for your comfort.
It's on there because being intersex sometimes presents medical problems related to an imbalance of chemicals in your body (too much estrogen over time can make your bones brittle or other similar conditions), not because people are having tantrums.
Or maybe they did have tantrums. From having improper medical care.
Don't flatter yourself. I didn't refer to you directly when I made that comment.
Exactly, for your health. Don't put Other on a medical form if you were born a male and want to be a female. Just write down what your biological make up is. If you're born a dude, you're a f***in dude. It's in your DNA. And if you take estrogen then simply put it down on your list of medications.
I think you're getting intersex mixed up with hormone replacement therapy.
Taking estrogen is along the course of "I'm not comfortable with my body and I want to change it."
Intersex is "well I was born a mix of the two and I'm stuck like this without surgery."
And yes, there are apparently variations on xx and xy. I just learned that today actually.
The human body is weird.
Do you have any idea what odds are that somebody is born with both genitalia AND have a chemical imbalance in their brain AND a DNA mutation that makes them between male and female?
It would be absolutely astronomical.
Im not saying it is impossible, but at that rate it just doesn't seem like enough to add the Other checkbox on a medical document. I think it would be much more efficient just have a box to add a description. Possibly just to add a few extra details.
I'm just reading this like
Then again it's drama, who doesn't love it?
For both? Yeah the odds are pretty up there.
Buuut that's where we disagree so whatever.
