Only 80? I thought gender and sex were just constructs created in our minds. You certainly aren't suggesting that possums can only conceptualize 80, are you?
Frogs can literally fvck themselves, so in the context of this discussion frogs can go fvck themselves.
Was gonna ask if you would fvck yourself if you could but I don't even know what that would mean
Telling me to go fvck myself and thinking that is a possibility is in the same realm of probability of saying that there are more than 2 genders.
But theoretically if there are more than 2 genders and it's actually an undefinable number, does the word "gender" really mean anything? At some point don't you have to say that (x) number of genders exist and can be defined before the term isn't really a term anymore?
Well, there's, at least, four: possum, opposum, playing possum, and playing opposum.
Can doctors add a vagina or can they only just turn the penis inside out like a cut up hotdog and then add a pocket or whatever? Seems like if you identify as a little bit of this and a little bit of that you should get weaponry from both sides.
So if there are an infinite number of genders, why can procreation only occur when you have a combination of 1- XX chromosome carrier and 1- XY chromosome carrier? Doesn't that, in and of itself, basically determine that there really are only 2 genders? Procreation isnt a social construct, it's actually quantifiable.
The social constructs are the things that we do to accentuate femininity and activities that we undertake that have been common to one gender or another. These evolved over time but they are simply societal norms, not biological necessities.
So how do you quantify a social construct?
Let's say you have a building that is a school. Then after a time, it stops being a school and becomes apartments. Was it apartments to begin with? Is it still a school? Or is the only way to truly quantify it is by calling it a building?
If the building has a bus stop, a playground or athletic fields, a marquee with teacher and student of the year, etc. then you know it’s a school. If it has multiple mailboxes, grills and other personal effects outside the doors, and then marquee is advertising low rents, then it’s probably apartments.
When we look at most people, there are a ton of cues as to whether they are male or female that we pick up on that have nothing to do with their reproductive organs. Hairstyle, makeup, cut of clothing, shoes, accessories way they walk, lilt of voice, and a ton of nonverbal actions. Also, what they’re doing, what they’re talking about, etc. Almost every single one of these is learned behavior that has evolved to support binary gender interactions.
But a school could have multiple mailboxes, grills, personal effects outside, and a marquee that says "for rent", couldn't it?
