So, I've never really got the whole third gender thing.
It might just be because I can't imagine something like that - two gender identities (eg. masculinity) makes for two genders, as far as I know.
BUT.
That said, this is what I class as types of gender:
* male
* female
* a mix of male and female (whether it's equal or, say, 75% male and 25% female)
* a mix of male and female where one gender may be more dominant at one time, either dependent on environment, or at random
* neither male or female
These in their selves could then have the gender identity masculine, feminine, both, both (at different times), or neither, and so on.
So... Yeah. I just can't comprehend anything more than that, but I keep hearing that there's genders that are
reliant on music and
reliant on nature. God knows what that means... All I can think of is people who want to be a different species - but species isn't gender.
Any help? I'd love to hear some stories about people's gender, whether it's one of the ones I listed above or one that isn't at all that common (and can hopefully explain it).
Cheers!
NB: transgender isn't on the list 'cause I don't see it as different from a normal man/woman/genderqueer, since we aren't looking at their genitals.
