No shade whatsoever, I am legit interested in what yall think about the increasingly controversial debates about genders.
Do you accept nothing but male/female, or are you a firm believer in the wideness of the gender spectrum?
It doesn't affect me at all. What somebody identifies with is harmless. Being informed of their preferred pronouns doesn't impact me. I listen, acknowledge and respect them.
Its hard for me to comprehend more than just male and female but I accept it of course because there are obviously people who feel that those terms confine and don't fit them. I'll call you whatever you want to be called and respect that, I'll call your child whatever you want me to call them even if I think you are being extra by asking me to call your 4 month old baby something other than their assigned gender.
But I'm not here for acknowledging these teenagers going through their phases of otherkin and **** like that. Also if I call you a gender you appear to be but don't identify as I feel like you of course have the right to correct me in a polite way but people who start going off at that point are just being extra. I acknowledge your right to prefer to be called whatever gender you want to be but I was raised to refer to people as ma'am, sir, mrs., mr. and I shouldn't be attacked for mistaking your gender in passing.

I don't believe in binary genders for everyone. Sure, there are two sexes (male and female) but not every person fits the standards of either, really. I consjder myself genderfluid, because I don't really feel like a man, but don't feel like a woman either. Sometimes I like acting all masc, sometimes I'm the biggest queen. As of pronouns, I use he.

I feel like gender identity is a normal thing. I have 2 transgender friends (2 m2f) and I love them. I feel like their struggle is very very hard and they deserve that people let this controversial **** go. They deserve to live the way they feel.
I don't agree with most of the sexual orientations.
Homo/Hetero/Bi/A are the only viable options.
I'm all for he/she/them, but when it becomes overly complicated, like that list of genders, I just can't comprehend that kind of extensive identity. All I can do is try my best to understand it as much as I can and respect what someone wishes to be called. I can't and won't however (and probably won't ever) know 50 different people who identify with different pronouns. I can just about remember peoples names. Sorry but don't make it any harder for me and everyone else.. keep it simple.
