Back in the dim and distant past when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, well the 1980s anyway, I began to realise that biological sex, gender, gender expression and sexual orientation are all separate things and they're each on a sliding scale. Back then when I tried to explain this to other people the best I usually got was a look of mild bewilderment and the worst was outright hostility bordering on the violent. Which kind of hinted that those individuals may have had some "issues". Nowadays when I explain the same idea I'm more and more getting a response that can be summed up as "well, duh, that's obvious". We really have come a long way in the last 30 years, or so.

First of all, I have nothing against the lgbt+ community, but I would like to clear something up. There are only two biological genders. Identifying as something is different than a whole new sex being discovered. Biologically speaking, there are only two genders. People who identify as something different are not physically different from other people of the same sex. I am NOT saying that all of this is a choice. Some people are born in the wrong body, or with various other stages of identity, but physically they remain the same. I'm not a troll account btw, I'm being serious, I still know I'll get salty people tho.

In most latin languages (french, spanish, ...) , we don't have the chance to have gender neutral pronouns and it's an issue for non-binary people. For exemple I am french and I don't feel confortable being referred as 'elle' (she) nor 'il' (he) but there is nothing in the middle (they being 'ils' or 'elles'). I mean we even use gendered pronouns for objects... Some people tried to invented gendered pronouns (iel, yel, yol, ol) but no one knows they even exist and they aren't in the dictionary. Also, people refuse to use them when you ask, they're confusing and, let's be honest, they are too damn difficult to pronounce to be used. I thought it was an interesting subject to address ^^

[@nonanaqueenXD]

yeah, part of the reason why I love english as much as I do and use it on a daily basis is because gender-neutral pronouns exist in it, while in Hebrew, my first language, nearly every word is gendered and there are no gender-neutral terms for anything.

[@lightyagami6049]

I know that feel :/ I'm from Perú and even if I'm cis, I just would like that my lenguage were inclusive enough to have a neutral pronoun, I'm curious tho abput ethe ze/hir they mentioned. Is like a specially created mix of words... we could probably have one like that too

Eric B Why would I?If you want to call a table 'her' or 'him', do as you wish, that's beside my point x) We actually use a feminine pronoun for table in french because we don't have neutral ones, but I just think it would be nice to have other pronoun options than male/female in general, especially for people who don't feel like either of those are fitted for them ^^

[@eccentriceric88]

Dude, I'm French, ok, allor je comprend que ce que tu dis. But that's my point, it's the language, it's not gonna change for your comfort. What's wrong with saying La Table, or Le Monde.

You did an excellent job with this Ashley. I've been learning a lot about gender identity and gender expression over the last few months because Ive been working with an organization called SAVE in Miami. We are working on transgender rights right now. Im going to bring up this video at our next volunteer recruitment phone bank next Tuesday. I am biologically female but when it comes to my gender identity, Im pretty fluid. Sometimes I feel feminine, sometimes I feel masculine, and other times I dont feel like either gender. I use female gender pronouns though. Its easier than asking people to be switching them around on the daily or just using "they/them/theirs". Also my family isnt open to different things so asking them to refer to me as "they" wouldnt go well. Though I have gotten everyone to use the gender neutral name "Nat". I dont tell them why I prefer that name. Everyone is pretty use to my gender expression. Ive been dressing in an androgynous/masculine fashion since I was a child.

Guys, sexuality is who you like, or don't like, basically who you go to bed with. Gender, is either your biological gender, what your born as, or what you identify as, basically who you go to bed as.

[@anybody2501]

Sexual dimorphism naturally results in a gender binary, just as the black and white dimorphic color scheme produces the binary categorization of shades of grey into light grey and dark grey. Sex is not gender, in the same way that color is not shade. You can easily categorize grey by comparing it to black and white and observing whether it is darker or lighter.

Hi friend, I just want to say, ignore the hateful idiot who says "deal with it". They are the ones who can deal with it. You just be you. It's ok to take your time figuring out your gender. It matters more who you are as a human being than what anyone else thinks of you. Get to know yourself and explore how you feel and what works for you. It may be that you have a non-binary gender identity with a feminine style of expression. Only you know you well enough to decide that. Best of wishes to you on your journey. ❤

[@samthehypotheticaldad]

So I’m transgender (FtM), and not long after I came out as a male, my dad told me about how he has always kind of identified more as a woman who loves women, even joking(-but-not-really-joking) in college about how he was such. It’s important to understand that my parents are older, both of them Baby Boomers, so he was in college in the late 70s when the term “transgender” was still kind of foreign to most (though thanks to women such as the incomparable Marsha P. Johnson, it was starting to become more well-known). My dad went on to explain that, as he grew older, he realized that gender is just a social construct, that it’s a spectrum and not an either/or situation, and he became more comfortable with who he is. He doesn’t feel the need to change his name or pronouns, to go on hormones and get surgery, because he knows that he is who he is. He doesn’t care how others see him. He ended his story with telling me he still feels like a woman to this day, that none of his feelings on his true gender have changed, but he doesn’t feel the need to transition-medically or socially-because it would only be to please others and fit society’s guidelines. I think I know where I got my trans-ness from..

[@inkliizii]

How do agender people describe their sexuality? Words like homosexual or heterosexual (meaning sexual attraction to people of the same gender/other gender, respectively), don't really apply if you yourself don't identify as being gendered.

[@simonvagstrand4204]

Yes i wonder the same thing. I think it's for them to decide what they identify as. Why don't we call it girl lover, boy lover and more. Maybe you like gendernuteral or trans people and i dont think there is a word for that. Then you can tell someone what you actually like without saying your gender (if you dont identify as any gender)

[@inkliizii]

+Maya Vågstrand That would be more effective, I think. Maybe more sciencey words like androsexual (liking men)/gynosexual (liking women)/and, uh... neutrosexual? For agender people?

[@simonvagstrand4204]

+inkliizii yeah, we would invent that

I don't see why the hate is so important. Sex and gender is different and it even says that in the dictionary when you try to find the definition of gender. Gender is different than sex and gender is what you identify as while sex is what you physically are. some people identify as some uncommon gender for attention but most are real and feel that way because literally, who has time for hate and what is the point of fame if its negative? literally all of you people just don't get it.

I'm watching this video again about a year after I first saw it, and there are so many feelings resurfacing. Ash, I want to thank you so much for making this video. When I first watched this, I identified as a cis girl. The reason for that was that I liked makeup and I didn't want any kind of surgery to change the way my body looked, and even though it didn't feel quite right , there was no logical reason why so I sort of ignored the feeling of weirdness around my gender. Seeing Kara identify as female and present so traditionally masculinely literally changed my life. It was like a switch was flipped in my brain and I finally understood what i was feeling. I now identify as transmasculine, because yeah, I'm a dude, but i'm allowed to like makeup and skirts cause I look damn cute in them. Thank you, Ash. Thank you, Kara. I'm happier than I've ever been thanks to you.

Awake in Albany Yea, but this is safe space and people make mistakes. I think you understand what they meant. Thanks for pointing it out though. That's the only way we can learn/improve/grow :)

[@DanikaLeighEllis]

Well, sex and gender are also not so easily separated, in that sex is the gendering of the body, basically. It's looking at a body and assigning it a gender, and then assuming a lot about their biology based on that. Trans men are male, trans women are female.

[@HeyThere005]

Danika Leigh Ellis truuu

[@MiloStewart]

Awake in Albany I agree with Danika. I think the words "male" and "female" will always be associated with gender, so trying to separate which words we're allowed to use to describe gender identity or bodies is entirely pointless. (Also sex is a social construct. Bodies are not inherently male or female.)

[@MiloStewart]

Ireallyreally Hategoogle In our society, sex is used as a way to assign a gender to a person based off of the appearance of their external genitalia. However, because gender is not at all related to the appearance of your body, the term "sex" as it is used in our society is largely a social construct. For the purpose of better communication, new terms need to be coined to describe sex without insinuating that the social construct of gender is biological.

[@faye.bug24]
