I am a man, but i have been mistook for a girl by people who cant see past my shoulder-length hair.
I, am a MAN!
Both in gender and in self-identification. So I'm like the ~400 other men here.
But more power to those of you who don't identify yourself as your biological gender. Be who you want to be.

I wanted to add another line there but I can't really think of anything to build off of that. But yeah, go you.

I agree with this comment, us guys would make great lesbiansUnwishedGunz said:im a guy, tho sometimes i wish i was a girl so i can have a lesbian party
Female and I?m fine with it, although there are a few things about it I resent; most of them being small maybe even tiny and maybe one of them being a bit more of a biggie.
You do know the term 'gender' refers to what society dictates to be male or female and 'sex' refers to your biology right?
(I'm in a sociology class right now, and we're studying sex and gender and the difference between the two.)
That being said, I'm male. My gender is a mix between the two that leans towards male.

in all honesty, there's probably not alot of intersex individuals on the escapist.Ellen of Kitten said:Shoot, after reading that, I can't believe I forgot to add Intersexed to the poll.Daedalus1942 said:According to Gina Wilson of the Organisation Intersex International, there has never been a true hermaphrodite (that is able to procreate with ones self due to male and female genitalia fully functional and developed) recorded in the history of the human race.Odradek said:Well, my understanding is simply that it's inaccurate. I didn't mean to say "hate" but I suppose "offensive" implies that... so maybe I was a bit inaccurate on my part! Sorry! My knowledge is primarily from intersex friends, educators & literature from intersex education organizations. Might not be true for you, your community or intersex friends!Zeeky_Santos said:
You are totally correct that snails are hermaphrodites... which speaks to why many members of the intersex community don't use it to describe themselves. It's very rare, if not entirely unheard of, for a human to have both male and female genitals fully formed and in working order, like a snail or like the child of Hermes & Aphrodite! Someone who is intersex usually has a variation of some combination but almost never what one (rightly, biologically & mythologically) would recognize as hermaphroditic. It's just biologically, medically and physically inaccurate. Hopefully not something that needs arguing. I was just trying to help someone who seemed to want to be an ally to start learning good beginner ways to act as an ally! I say hooray to that and no offense intended! Hopefully no hard feelings!
Intersex individual are intersexed, they're not hermaphrodites, they aren't even pseudo-hermaphrodites, just intersexed.
That being said there are many hermaphroditic species in the animal kingdom. No human has ever been recorded as a true hermaphrodite though. intersex people were originally classed as hermaphrodites but it was an incorrect term and was popular around the 80's.
that word has since been discarded in favour of Is or intersex, and I have several Is friends who are perfectly fine with that classification.

that, or there could be heaps that just don't know they are even intersexed. Alot of people live their lives without knowing until they hneed major surgery for something and the doctors cut them open and find remnants of another sex.

Man and I have natural dude-parts. Not to brag or anything, but I've been told by several friends, including lady-friends and gay dude-friends, that I am one of the least feminine person they know. So... I guess I'm wired up pretty well.
Gotta take a lot of courage (I'd say balls, but I might be the only one who'd be amused) to go through what trans people choose to go through though. I can respect that.

I feel like it should have been in there anyway. The number of f2m's in the poll are still single digit, but I don't want to forget about them either.Daedalus1942 said:in all honesty, there's probably not alot of intersex individuals on the escapist.Ellen of Kitten said:Shoot, after reading that, I can't believe I forgot to add Intersexed to the poll.Daedalus1942 said:According to Gina Wilson of the Organisation Intersex International, there has never been a true hermaphrodite (that is able to procreate with ones self due to male and female genitalia fully functional and developed) recorded in the history of the human race.Odradek said:Well, my understanding is simply that it's inaccurate.

I hope that no Intersexed person has voted already and missed the boat. (For Science!)
Sometimes I'd rather be a girl...but I'm a male through and through...wait
*checks*
