Society/Culture Do you belive in Non Binary as a gender?

[eastfreo75]

Then what is the problem with someone identifying as how they wish? If someone identifies as a cat, a piece of lego or another gender than what they are biologically how does it effect you or anyone else for that matter?

No problem to me, happy to call people what they want.

The problem is for the person and their grip on reality.

If you identify as a Cat, I think you have some serious issues to deal with.

As for being non binary, it’s nonsense terms.

I really think people are getting themselves into knots mentally and just act or look whatever you feel without putting a label on it.

If you identify as a Cat, I think you have some serious issues to deal with.

So you're trying to equate the two?

And you claim other people are talking nonsense?

 

[eastfreo75]

This all reminds me of back when women wanted a title that wouldn't label them as married or unmarried.

Every oldie was freaking out like it was the end of the world. Feminism was gonna destroy society!

What was the logic behind it?

Regardless of marital status, I should be treated with respect.

Strawman.

 

[Chief]

What was the logic behind it?

Did you take your wife's name? Call yourself Mrs?

 

[Chief]

Strawman.

That's what you were doing?

There are lots of people who don't have a grip on reality, I really don't see the issue you have here.

So long as their wish doesn't have an adverse effect on society there isn't an issue.

 

[eastfreo75]

Did you take your wife's name? Call yourself Mrs?

No.

Take something out of context, that’s intellectually dishonest.

The problem with gender is that all this stuff is being elevated way above its importance level.

'I'm a demi pansexual genderqueer'. Great. Next.

 

[Chief]

No.

Take something out of context, that’s intellectually dishonest.

So what is the problem with a woman not wanting to be labeled based on marital status?

Luckily you just ignore it.

 

[Scotland]

Luckily you just ignore it.

One day you'll ignore me. Maybe.

My mother believed she was a literal “Angel” and Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson would teleport to her room.

Losing a grip on reality for the people around isn’t pleasant.

 

[Chief]

One day you'll ignore me. Maybe.

Never. You're fascinating.

 

[Scotland]

Never. You're fascinating.

That is the prevailing opinion.

 

[eastfreo75]

So what is the problem with a woman not wanting to be labeled based on marital status?

No problem.

Again Strawman.

Never said I had issues with people not wanting to labelled on marital status.

 

[Chief]

Start again: What was the logic behind what?

 

[eastfreo75]

Seriously mate. You need to read to understand than to respond.

I'm sorry to hear that, really am, here's a grip on reality for you.

That's life, unfortunately some people don't have that grip.

So unless you see a problem for society as whole from people identifying differently from what they are biologically you don't have an argument.

 

[Chief]

Seriously mate. You need to read to understand than to respond.

You asked the question.

Do you want an answer?

I answered, but you seem to have asked a different question to the one I answered.

So: in answer to your question "what was the logic behind it?" I ask "what is the 'it' you're talking about?"

 

[eastfreo75]

I answered, but you seem to have asked a different question to the one I answered.

So: in answer to your question "what was the logic behind it?" I ask "what is the 'it' you're talking about?"

I answered my own question.

You’re shown for what you are.

 

[Chief]

I answered my own question.

You’re shown for what you are.

This is a bizarre exchange.

 

[Chief]

What was the logic behind it?

Regardless of marital status, I should be treated with respect.

Wait so the second sentence was your answer to your own question?

Sorry it wasn't obvious.

Yet you thought the fault was entirely me and threw a few barbs out because you thought you were being hurt.

 

[Frank Bunn]

So you're trying to equate the two?

The term non-binary means someone whose gender is not exclusively female or male, or neither.

Is the argument that gender can be whatever a person chooses? So a gender of cat should be respected.

Or is there a range, or an evolving list of genders that might be considered valid? So a gender of cat might be thought of as silly.

 

[Malifice]

If gender is a social construct, then Non binary is a social construct.

This guy gets it.

Therefore, gender doesn’t exist.

Derp.

Social constructs exist mate. Cultures, races, genders, money and religions exist. Their existence is just socially constructed, as opposed to things that exist independent of social construction (like for example, gravity).
