I can swing either way on this, pun intended, but if you think there are an infinite number of gender identities, then just please precisely define male, my point being that there is one male gender that can have ℵ0 interpretations by humans, or ℵ0 genders of which ℵ0 are male genders, each precisely defining one person at one point in time.Billie from Ockham wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 5:08 pm
While several of the items you listed (from the CHYA) are false (or, at least, enjoy no empirical support), two the items that you listed are true:
* 'Gender' is defined as “[a]ttitudes, feelings, characteristics, and behaviors that a given culture associates with being male or female and that are often labeled as ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’”;
* An infinite number of gender identities exist, including “male, female, neither of these, both, or other gender(s)”;
Do you actually disagree with these?
IE, girls who wear pants and enjoy climbing in trees might be tomboys and that's perfectly okay and female, and might not be some ℵ0 amounts of gender queer / trans. It's okay for girls to where pants. It's okay for boys to be gay have feminine characteristics.
