A quick course on The Five Genders ...

[dogtag]

You gotta keep up with this stuff because it's apt
to change at a moments notice.
The Genders are:
Man,
Man who thinks he's a Woman.
Woman,
Woman who thinks she's a Man.
Binary person - not sure what this is but
it's one of the genders.

I think there's room for a lot more genders,
Man who thinks he's a Giraffe for instance,
The list could be endless.

How about someone who is a schmuck? Many would belong to this gender. Obama, Bill Clinton, Chuck Schumer, etc.

I'm sorry to disappoint all of you but this article and Facebook have missed the boat, big time.

It would seem that New York City is far ahead in the definitions derby. They have defined 31 genders (see https://bernardgoldberg.com/31-gende...ork-city-2016/)

Here is the list but I have to confess that I don't know what all of them mean: Bi-gendered; Cross-Dresser; Drag Queen; Drag King; Femme Queen; Female-to-Male; FTM; Gender Bender; Pangender; Trans sexual /Transsexual; Trans Person; Woman; Man; Butch; Two-Spirit; Trans; Agender; Third Sex; Gender Fluid; Non-Binary Transgender; Androgyne; Gender Gifted; Gender Blender; Femme; Person of Transgender Experience; Androgynous.

Political correctness has run riot and nobody seems to be willing to call BS on it.

Not quite -- Schumer is a putz!

Two genders and two genders only, and it takes one of each to conceive NATURALLY. That's it, period!

I don't give a rat's @$$ if the perverts, mutants, and mutilators choose to describe themselves with any pretty little title they decide to choose in an effort to justify their abnormal desires . If you step outside the biological realm of male-female you're a friggin freak. See? We already had a good name for it. Calling a spade a spade....

Actually, "gender" applies to grammatical entities. For example, in Spanish “mesa” (table) is feminine gender. Animals, including people have a SEX, not a gender.

Hello. I am . not a linguist by any measurement. But, if memory serves a schmuck is defined as the separated foreskin discarded after a circumcision
It has many other apt applications. In fact, I personally know. several

You've got what used to be Bruce Jenner. Guy turned woman, but still likes women. Couldn't he have just done that without all the hoopla? Well, no. The chicks he goes out with now are as freaky as he is.

I've been a heterosexual male for many a long year, so it's time for a change.
I've decided I'm now a 1963 Ford Pick Up short bed step side.

That's only one definition. First definition on the list:

gen·der /ˈjendər/
noun
noun: gender; plural noun: genders
1. the state of being male or female
(typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).

Actually, after a lot of thought and analysis I have decided that I am probably a lesbian. Why, you might say? Well, just like a lesbian, I like to look at women, preferably naked women and then to have sex with them and just like a lesbian, I have no sexual interest whatsoever in men. As Sherlock Holmes used to say, "once you have eliminated all but one of the possibilities, then what is left is the truth". I'm just going to have to live with that.

Good one, me too....
