What is your Gender?

Really, everyone doesn't actively think about this question.

When asked this question most will think of their privates as they're ingrained into our identity. That is our sex. Our sex is our biological structure. Every human being alive started with a vagina. Then it became dependent on various foods your mother ate. Why do you think so many people suggest not to drink alcohol while pregnant? It's based on the fact that what ever the mother injests the child does as well.

So when the mother eats more protien rich foods the child's testosterone production increases. This by no means mean that the child will instantly be born a male.

However it also includes the mothers stress levels; the more stressful a person is their hormones are effected causing various dopamine recepters take over. This too influences their child's development in the womb.

Someone sex is determined by what private they were born with... but then what about the rare cases of when they're born with both?

Most of the result on how it's dealt is due to the doctor's practice and personal bias. Some will let both develop, while others will look at the two and decide (for them selves) which one would be working properly, while others will let the parents decide.

I was born intersex, the doctor kept this fact away from any who were not part of my birth... hell it was recorded on VHS where the doctor was reluctant to say "It's a boy."

There are those who are born with no reproductive organs. (this is very rare, but still plausible... and was what lead to this article.)

Gender is your expression of what society percieves you to be and most importantly how you see your self when asked "What is your Gender?"

I see my self as a woman. This occured to me at a later age than most as my developmental process was a bit weird... I won't get into that...

A lot of times folk look for signs... (adam's apple or not, shoulder length, boobs or not... bulge or not... etc.)

Anyone can be a great makeup artist and put on an illusion of being more feminine... Which is fine, i love feminine men. They tend to be more kind in this regard.

However, no one other than you can determine your gender. Because it is how you feel. I tend to grew up with friends who are boys, and also am fairly tomboyish... i rarely wear make up... I really am not like other girls... lol.

I mean being around so many men surely i would see my self as a man, right?

No, it's more of a feeling that is deep inside of you; often repressed by those who feel the need to discredit the very nature.

A history lesson.

Native Americans called those of us Twin Spirits, which were also highly ranked in their values and were often healers.

Because of Patriarchal demand, women had to hide the fact they're women... by acting like a man (Joan of Arc) or by writing like a man, (Fanny Mendelssohn.)

Same goes for the hiding of homosexuality, (Tchaikovsky, Sorabji.)

But there is one person who changed music sooooo much and with out her, the music you listen to today would not exist... Wendy Carlos.

So really this has been going on a lot longer...

o and there is Sapphos.

...than you think. It's just been repressed and oppressed.


The only reason it has become more affluent in culture is simply from the acceptance of it paired with the trauma of unacceptence that goes with it...

Regardless of what gender you see your self as, there are several who see their self as a different variation to what society pairs with what ever is in our pants. You are not the gender police.
