Gender Options

[Guest]

I saw somebody else successfully suggest an option and get it, so I will try.

I am a Boy/Girl/several other options.

Is it possible to add "Other" with a little box to fill in my own? Transgendered is so vague, and I'd prefer to be male without being "boy" (not a girl either).

Otherwise Male Adrogyne and Female Androgyne.

Or male genderqueer and female genderqueer.

Of course, our intersexed friends may still feel left out.

Oooh, "Fluid Boy/Girl Mix" works too!

Although gender and sex really are 2 different things. Many possible solutions... hopefully one of them is easy.

Maybe we can add more of intersex as well because transgender is very

vague and too broad.

I don't think " vague or broad" will work either.

A fill-in box is not currently allowed by the software, but I will suggest it to Invision.

Cool. I figured the software would have a limitation.

How about Genderqueer? It's different than trans, yet still covers many gender variants.

umm I ran across a site that says gender is between your ears and sex is between your legs

but i guess wat i'm sayin is why doesn't someone just say they're a "tom boy" or a "sally girl" easier than sayin transgender or sissy which i gess some ppl don like to be called a sissy

alot of words have more than one meaning and I remember that when a boy in my school was called a sissy he was refered as to being week and unable to do things not sissy in the way of wearin frilly dresses an such or that he acted like a girl

but me I'm a girl, a shy one in person but a lil open online. but maybe those are some good Ideas

Sissy meant the same thing where I'm from.

Also, one can be part boy and part girl, yet not be the least bit frilly.

Guy at the last place I worked insisted on calling me Sally.

I was like, "Jeff or Jessie. Pick one or don't expect me to answer!"

See transgender is a totally different category and they have issues

that are different from other folks. Intersex, have issues and needs

that are completely different and way beyond the transgender. That's

why transgender and intersex are totally different spectrum of the

gender and the only difference is that one is a psychological issue

and one is a medical issue

My point is, genderqueer isn't an option, and neither is intersexed.

My profile says I'm a boy, but I'd put Genderqueer if it was available, or androgyne, or Mix, or Fluid. But none of that is an option, so I'm stuck with boy.

[Guest Sissy Lil Lucy]

To be honest i would quite apriciate something along the lines of "fluid" as an option, although i couldn't say exactly where to put myslef... soo confussing!!!

[Guest]

T-boy? T-Girl? Those would be realy nice

[Guest]

Ok, just looked, now we have

Gender: Male/Female/Not Telling

I am a: Transgendered, boy, girl, sissy.

No, not quite making sense.

Male/Female is sex, not really gender.

For the record.

My SEX is Male

I am a T-Girl

Later, my sex will be MtF, after I go through that whole process, but my GENDER is girl now, will be girl later, and is still different than sex!
