Golly! Will we ever be done mixing nouns and pronouns and adjectives and the like to describe how we use - and don’t use - our sexybits?
Androgyn = androgynous? (I’m guessing?) Aren’t you really, well, putting too fine a point on it (so to speak...) by bringing in those things that
you embody rather than what is shared by other “androgyns?”
Things were so simple way back fifteen minutes ago... I was a handsome and well-hung bisexual male, taking shite from both gay and straight people because I would not accept that I was “really” homo or “really” hetero.
It was a headache back then. The ‘gender absent’ were folks who weren’t effing anyone but were still guys or girls. Generally, they had something between their legs even if they weren’t putting it to use. We had comics portraying the gender-WTF?!? “Pat” on SNL, e.g.
I’m bisexual. I am versatile and multi-faceted but, getting down to brass tacks, I have sex with men and women and transgendered folks, too. Queer, you might say. I form much, much stronger emotional attachments with women and I prefer poly-living arrangements with a minimum of two bisexual male-female couples.
And I said all of that without creating any new words.
Many people seem to want to overthink gender whilst abstinent from actual sex. Rolling around with five other warm bodies answers more questions about gender identity than cobbling together new terms, don’t ya think?
