QuoteNo offence but as a trans male I do believe there are two genders there is not third or fourth, But your biological sex doesn't make you who you are, You have to understand that, Gender queer, Bigender as well is others can sometimes be hard to understand, And to me it is not trying to be rude but you can't accept everyone to accept you or even support you.....

I don't expect everyone to accept me. That is why I have quit speaking with so many people over the years. Some people cannot accept or will not accept, certain things about me. That's ok, live and let live.

I am not going to split hairs over the number of genders that there are. 2,3,10 doesn't matter to me. I know that genderqueer people exist and that there are plenty of people who are butch women, femme guys, etc and that gender is spectrum, not a concrete series of concepts.

Yes, it is nice to think that there your biological gender does not define you. Except for when it does. I don't know you personally. Maybe you are younger than I am? I am almost 30. I have health issues that have prevented me from transitioning and I do not think it wise for me to present as male in public at this point in my life. I am hoping to get to a place within the next few years when I can transition.

You did not come across as rude or disrespectful. Just opinionated and thoughtful.

Just because you don't understand people who don't fit into the gender binary it doesn't mean they don't exist. Ignorance is the exact same reason that a lot of people are hateful towards trans, gay, different race, or in anyway different to themselfs and what they consider to be the norm. What you believe or don't believe doesn't give you the right to disregard someone's identity.
No, not everyone is going to accept you, but you can hope that if you're a decent human being to them then they'll do the same back. If that doesn't work then you've got to try to educate them, and if that doesn't work cut them out of your life because it isn't worth torturing yourself over someone who is happily living in their own ignorant and bitter bliss.

I didn't disregard anybodies Idenity, All I said was I don't understand it myself, I'm not disrespecting anyone who just so happens to be genderqueer or bigender or anything else, Their is no third gender though, And you also have to take in consideration, That you have no clue how people were brought up, Theirs alot of of people who were brought up in Christian homes I was but that doesn't mean were homophobic and hate gays or anything else that might not be the norm that people expect, You have to understand that again not everyone is gonna get it, you can't force them to either and I'm not saying that's you guys but Ive heard of other trans people getting supper heated because they think everyones gonna get it and agree with it........
