Once castrated, they were no longer considered to be male.

Their genetics say otherwise.

Genetics do not determine gender. Culture does. What you are saying is entirely true for our culture, but it isn't an absolute truth. People cannot just choose to invent new genders however, for one to be valid, it must be seen as something distinct by society as a whole.


No, your brain does. So you're saying if suddenly you were thrust into an opposite society where all gender roles were reversed you suddenly become a girl? I guess tomboys and lesbians are actually men then even when they themselves identify as women. Your logic is even more preposterous than people saying they're multi-gender and switch between them intermittently.

Two. Everything else is the result of a birth defect or mental disorder.

People seem to be forgetting eunuch. That one is definitely a valid gender and has been recognized for thousands of years.

Not a gender. It's the result of having your penis lopped off by someone else. So you're still male.

Why is science is right about evolution yet is wrong about only two genders?


Because some people can't accept that there's something possibly wrong in them and they can't figure out what it is. So, instead of self studying or accepting what they are, their narcissim makes them create so many different made up bullshit genders that they are bound to have just one unique one for themselves. Now, they can grow their narcissim to a new level by acting like special snowflake.

In such a society I would still be considered a male. A perfectly opposite set of gender roles would result in the same gendering as we use, the difference would be in what is considered the norm.

Not sure what you are trying to say with the tomboy and lesbian part. Our society does consider them to be female, so reality is consistent with my logic here.

To make the culture change actually interesting you would need the two to have different numbers of genders. Like say a person from a non-gendered society being placed in one like ours.

Not if their culture decides that gender roles=gender, at least according to your weird logic. Our society considers them female because we don't use the "gender norms decide gender" logic. I mean, it's stupid. A guy gets castrated. That doesn't change their gender any more than you being thrust into a culture where everything is reversed. Just because they were now expected to act differently in that culture doesn't mean it's a whole new gender.

Any other gender is just a combination of these two in some way, or a lack of either. There is no unique gender other than male or female.

Scientifically, gender is just the sex of the brain. You need to not mix up gender and gender roles. Also, not think crazy nonsense like armandro posted...
assuming gender is a social construct then its really hard to tell.

the possibilities are infinite

as of now I dont know how many genders we have

I suppose gender roles can be. Gender itself isn't.
Mixing gender and gender roles together and pushing gender as a whole as being a social construct is just something science-defying that radical feminists pushed anyway.

Nope, those are gender roles. Gender itself is biological. The fact that tomboys, extremely masculine women, and extremely feminine men who are secure in their gender identity exist destroys that theory. If someone was thrusted into a culture with completely opposite gender roles they would not suddenly change genders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

1. Uh, they're the same. You're yet to show me how they differ.

You previously said "Gender is in the brain", what exactly does that mean?

Gender refers to the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men. It varies from society to society and can be changed.

That's the World Health Organization's(WHO) definition of Gender, and it clearly falsifies your claim about gender being in the brain(wat???).

And as for that study you posted:

The study didn’t account for whether participants’ gender matched their biological designation as male or female.

From the study YOU posted.

That may have played some role in the sex differences noted in the study, she says.

Also from the study you posted. Notice how it says "sex differences" and not "gender differences". It doesn't, at all, support any of your claims.

You didn't think anyone would actually read that study, did you?

There is nothing at all in our DNA that associates gender and sex. It just doesn't exist. Our biological sex came first and society developed concepts based on sex that became the genders we know.

If you took a boy and raised them as a girl they wouldn't know the difference until someone else told them. :v There are real life instances of this happening.

You didn't think anyone would actually read that study, did you?

WHO's page is clearly a sociologist's definition meant to politicize the term and to use it to push their political agenda. Right on their page, they're using it to talk about gender equality, gender division based on labour, gender mainstreaming, and other nonsense. They're unreliable.
The problem with gender is that it's used so much with psychologists and sociologists that their (inconsistent and arbitrary) definitions are the ones that's pushed to the forefront. That's why stuff like the wikipedia entry is so contradictory and convoluted. When talking about gender, neuroscience is the most objective way to go about it.
You didn't answer Armando's question. Why? Because if you abide by the sociologist's definition then gender really does have infinite possibilities and nonsense like "identifying as an attack helicopter" is a valid statement. It also doesn't make sense. Gender roles are social constructs. But for there to be roles, gender itself has to be a thing and that thing is biological otherwise it's completely redundant.
For example, explain to me how gender is at all socially constructed without using roles and norms. Basically, by your stupid logic, feminine men and masculine women are the same thing as transgenders.
