You're completely right about most of that, but you got a little bit backwards. Sex is what you have between your legs, gender is what you consider yourself mentallyhwarang said:Ok to alleviate some questions here:
Difference between "sex" and "gender".
Gender being the scientific term - incredibly rare for it not to be binary: male/female. That's "what" you are.
Sex is how you consider yourself. "Who" you are. People who have a male gender, but have always believed themselves to be female for example. Thus you can have a different sex than gender (and some people rectify that with surgery).
Also sexuality is rarely a binary thing. Another aspect being who you are attracted to.
It is fairly well believed that as opposed to gay/straight there is a sliding scale everyone falls on, the majority of people being close enough to straight to not need to worry about the difference away from the end of the scale. Similar with the gay end of the scale, but plenty of people being right there in the middle or varying deviations along it.
That's not even yet giving the option for a "zero" response for non-sexuals.
So a simple 8 option technically doesn't come close to covering every aspect of the omni-directional graph you could derive for sexuality.
One which has to define the difference between a lesbian woman and a straight man born with a female gender.
As well as grades of sexuality: from excessively sexual to non-sexual.
Or on as many tangents as you like - sexuality towards animals perhaps.
However there really are enough options there to cover nearly all common areas of the graph.
All in all, nice blog.
To add to that, there are actual physiological differences between male and female brains, so it's entirely possible to be born with a male body and a female brain, or vice-versa.
That must be incredibly boring for you. Also, how does it work? Do you just not feel attracted to anything at all? Or do you just repress it somehow? My Avatar is highly relevent.Greyfox105 said:
Probably because she looks like a man. I seriously don't see how everyone thinks she looks good.inquisitorJL said:
I'm male and I'm straight, although I've yet to find a girlfriend.
Ah well it's not like I'm looking for one at the moment.

Straight guy! Though there are certain other males who I find attractive. Not in an, 'I'd tap that!' kinda way more as an, artistic appreciation. For example, Bowie. He was freaking hot in Labyrinth and if I ever met him I would refer to him as The Goblin King...then he would strike me down with his mighty lighting-breath. Another example would be Aaron Eckhart. The man has a strangely hypnotic chin. He's likely a fledgling overlord biding his time until he can take over and his main weapon for controlling the masses will be that chin. Not even Bruce Campbell's chin can compare.
I'm an incredibly boring personFallenJellyDoughnut said:
Nah, it isn't boring, just makes life that much easier for me, so I'm glad.
Dunno, actually. Just put down Female - Questioning.
I've had a few short relationships with guys and a year long one with a girl. Can't say why, but I don't really consider myself bi. Maybe it's because I don't find many girls attractive.

I am 100% straight, i dont like dudes, total homophobe (when I have sex with a women I never go anal either, why settle for bronze when you can get gold at the same price)
