Gender Identity Discussion Thread

[Kim]

So, there are of course the basic genders of male and female. And then you have transgenderism, which is where a woman was born with a man's body or a man with a woman's body. There's also intersex, which is where the person's body is both male and female, and this can be separate from gender identity. (Like being intersex but identifying as female) The others I know besides these are androgynous, where the person doesn't identify as either gender, and bigender, where they identify as both genders. I am bigender. Nonbinary genders like bigender and androgynous are often categorized as genderqueer, which is a sort of umbrella term. Some also consider bigender a branch of transgender.

I can't talk a whole lot on the subject of a lot of gender identities, and there's a lot of variety among them. Just like normal genders, there aren't exactly a bunch of rules saying a ____ person has to be a certain way, though you may see some patterns repeat themselves.

I'm not sure what discussion there is to be had, but I'm sure there is and Fenris didn't want more of it cluttering the announcement thread anyways, so...
