Respect the gender spectrum

Ok, I apologize in advance, I know I'm an asshole, I didnt say anything when I first saw that out of courtesy, people expressing their beliefs and what not

But its been bugging me since I saw it, and I am afraid I have to let loose


That is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen, who the hell is that aimed at? Its not aimed at kids, too many words on the right hand side. Please dont tell me that appears in a college level gender studies textbook. A gingerbread man to explain 4 one dimensional graphs. What the hell has a gingerbread man got to do with .....anything????

And orientation is in your heart..awww...just makes you want to find a cute puppy and hold it...arrrrgggghhh!!

 

Lunagender, also called monagender, monegender, or selenogender (all of which mean in some way "moon gender"), is a fluid gender identity that changes on a consistent, orderly cycle, reminding one of a lunar cycle.


So basically your gender changes when you get your period

 

well, it's meant to be helpful. And no, it's not in the textbook; at least not yet. But it was part of a presentation by Diversity Collective. They provide access and resources for students who are LGBTQ.

 

I'm unfamiliar with Occam's Razor...

I think the gender spectrum or this continuum and the genderbread man are meant to be helpful, and may be particularly useful to people who are members of that small percent of the population.

 

LMFAO!!

 

I'm certain the genderbread man and that gender expression & identity + biological sex and orientation thing is meant to be helpful.

But I don't see how. You?

Are other people supposed to consider all these 4 aspects before determining how to adress or perceive someone who's part of that minority?

 

If the color bands are supposed to represent anything, it's inaccurate. How is that helpful to anyone in an academic context?

Or am I looking too much into it and it's just supposed to be an arbitrary graphic unrepresentative of the categories?

 

Oi, so it is aimed at college level

 

So, someone that is trans, has been taking hormones for a couple years for example

The gender expression one in particular, a little line telling them androgynous is between male and female is meant to be "particularly useful"......and in college.....a good 12 years or more since they first started getting called names by the kids at school


So so so dumb

 

Instead of the wished for 3 legs, no legs at all. Yeah, that's mean

 

I will do VGs version of that graphic

It will just be one line

One end of the line labelled hot guy, coloured red with a little icon of a thernometer about to rupture, the other end of the line that says, OMG, why are you even talking to me, stop talking

 

no, but it is open to them should they choose to do so. It was part of a presentation given by lgbtq representatives from a coalition or something... some group called diversity collective working in conjunction with my school. Their role in society is to provide resources to those living lgbtq lives. so as I understand it that graphic is so that anybody who wants to or needs to can have a better understanding of their gender identity sexual orientation etc. It isn't static either... It sort of changes, like a mood ring or something.

 

I may have mispoken VG. It isn't particular for college people. I think that is merely one of the groups that Diversity Collective aims to serve.

 

the genderbread man? I think it's symbolic mostly. Like his heart is the symbolism for where his love interest supposedly lies etc. I'm not sure about the colors really.

 

No, the one I quoted you

 

And here's what Bill Nye said about chromosomes and gender back in the 90s when he was a science educator, not a political mouthpiece.
Oh Bill Nye, why hast thou forsaken us?



This video was pulled from Netflix because facts are now controversial.

 

The gender evolution is another example of western thinking. We want to understand. We begin to break it down.
Components and anomalies proliferate. And then we say, "it's a whole lot of stuff", because cataloguing doesn't work, for understanding human nature, or cancer for that matter. Eventually, if all works well--which it will not--people will be allowed to be who they are. No one asks, or cares. It's only how you treat yourselves and others. Didn't you bright lights read anything from the 60s?
