Some people are still learning the difference between "sex" and "gender". This is way over their heads.

By definition, they are exact synonyms. Gender was invented to avoid taboo when referring to children as "sexes". What difference do you believe they have?

Gender is what you identify as/what you feel like, wheras sex is just your body. For example, a biological male may identify as a female, making her sex make, but her gender female.

Minus Anti They are used as synonyms by people who don't know the difference. 'Sex' is whether your born with male or female parts. 'Gender' can be chosen by the person based on how masculine or feminine he/she/they feel(s).

"who are you to tell me what words i cant and cant use" ??? You're saying the person whose IDENTITY is being discussed doesn't have the authority to decide what THEIR OWN pronouns are? But YOU get to decide that people aren't allowed to be different just so they fit into YOUR standards and so you don't have to change the words you use. Who are YOU to tell people what their identity is? Honestly everything about your comment is so ignorant.

You obviously don't know that intersex people exist. And it's not a tiny percentage of the population. People are LITERALLY and GENETICALLY not entirely male or female. So you're wrong, it's not biologically 2 genders with no exceptions. Even biologically, people are somewhere in between the spectrum. That being said, anyone should be able to decide what their pronouns are because guess what? It's regarding who they are, not you. If someone who is born intersex, meaning genetically not completely male or female, what are you going to call them?Thats right, you call them whatever they want to be called because it's their identity. Plus, a large percentage of transgender people are passing as their gender so easily that you would never know they're trans unless they said so. You probably have already called people by their preferred pronouns without even knowing they're trans :) Just because you purposely want to call someone by a pronoun they don't identify with, doesn't mean you haven't already in your life seen or interacted with a trans person even momentarily and didn't know they were trans, AND called them by the correct gender :)

You're basing everything on your own knowledge on genetics which is still incorrect. Yes there are only 2 chromosomes but there are actual people with a wide variation and combination of those 2 chromosomes which were genetically not born entirely male or female. Look it up.

Flying FryingPan but I feel like if it really makes them feel bad then they should speak up. Nowadays they're way too many genders even some I haven't heard of I don't think it's fair for me to play mind reader. It's the same as sexuality to me, when people ask if I like girls or guys I say "I don't care" they ask if I'm bi and you know what I say "no, I am pansexual"and then inform them what it is. People need to learn to just correct people. If the person keeps misgendering you then that's rude. But if you first meet a person it just a misunderstanding and should not be taken personal.

Fine. My mom actually corrects the people all the time if I'm eating lunch or something with her. If I was alone I wouldn't even have bothered. I actually like being androgynous and get validation when people misgender me because it means that I can pull off either being a male or female. It's kind of fun actually. Some days I like looking beautiful. Sometimes I like looking handsome. Like you I feel like a mix of everything despite my chromosomes being male. It's quite awesome if I do say so myself :)

*Simple psychology:* Sex- defined by the genitalia and the chromosomes. Gender- defined by what the individual identifies with. Sex is biologically set in stone by chromosomes but is physically (and legally) subject to change by sex reassignment surgery. Gender is whatever the hell the person feels deep down in their heart. *Not-so-simple psychology:* Gender is not black and white. It can be grey, too. Some males like to dress as women, but that's it. Some males like to dress as women and like to go by "she," but leave it at that. Some males like to dress as women, like to go by "she", and are taking hormones to look more feminine, but leave it at that. Some males like to dress as women, like to go by "she," are taking hormones, and are going through the process of getting the surgery. Some males have gone through the surgery and just ARE women. Some females like to dress as men, but that's it. Some females like to dress as men and like to go by "he," but leave it at that. Some females like to dress as men, like to go by "he," and are taking hormones to look more masculine, but leave it at that. Some females like to dress as men, like to go by "he," are taking hormones, and are going through the process of getting the surgery. Some females have gone through the surgery and just ARE men. Some males and females dress as men on some days and women on other days, but that's it. Some males and females dress as men sometimes and women other times and prefer the corresponding pronoun or NO pronoun at all. This is called Gender Fluidity. And what's even more seemingly complex about it all is that none of this has to do with whom they are attracted to. All of the above gender identity scenarios can be attracted to men, women, anything in between, all of the above, or nothing at all. It all depends on the individual. *Moral of the story to take home is:* Never assume... but if you're forced to assume (because of work), be open-minded about it. If you're not sure, then just ask politely. *Advice for the ambiguously gender'd folk:* Don't be offended when someone accidentally gets it wrong. They genuinely didn't know. Just let them know kindly who you are and leave it at that. *P.S.* Saying "preferred" pronouns subconsciously gives people the impression that they have an option in which pronoun to use. If you want people to be consistent and less confused, do not use the word "preferred". Remain assertive and simply say, "I actually go by __, and I would feel better if you used that instead."

If I could help. There's some transgendered youtubers who could help you understand. Although Gigi gorgeous is transgendered youtuber, I don't think she really discusses it as much as she could. My favorite, is princessjoules, as she's documented her entire journey, and has made multiple videos not only one the physical changes of a man to woman, but the emotional ones. Like being in public and having someone try to guess or figure you out, and even discussing her relationship with specific family members. What emotional struggles she faces with the surgeries. Pretty much she's shown the reality of being transgendered, I think to help them have a voice, and help younger people who are in a place she once was, see how she did it, so they can do it themselves. I'm born a girl, happily one too, and I'm straight. But I still love watching her and other people like her because it opens my eyes to the type of people there are, and their struggles. Sometimes I feel like the LGBT community is such a strong one because they all know what rejection and what being "different" feels like.

Top comment. I consider myself far left and an ally to all downtrodden people, but damned if I don't get policed all the time by the prissy language cops. I just lost 481 twitter followers after using the phrase: "it retards progress". They subtweeted and called "ableist white trash". Ironically, some used actual ableist terms to insult me ("moron", "autistic", etc.). Without understanding context, language is meaningless. Some of the best potential allies to disenfranchised people are being pushed away and scorned because they didn't use the perfect correct accepted words of the moment. It's depressingly stupid, what the world is becoming, from all sides.

I gave one extreme example that wasn't indicative of the whole, and I didn't specify what politics the mob of outraged bullies had (most were centrist normies). In reality (not Twitter), that PC-fascistic behavior originated with conservative reactionaries, particularly the religious and militaristic. Then it morphed into general liberal culture, and was seized and manipulated by the Neoliberal media to manipulate the masses. This isn't a leftist conspiracy. Leftists have no control over it. But radical liberals are some of the most annoying perpetrators of the phenomenon.

I really hate the "if I want to be an inanimate object I can" argument against transgenders. Surprise, if you want to be a pony, you can never become a pony, mentally or physically. If you want to become the opposite gender you can. You are still a human being. You didn't change what you are, you changed who, as in a person, you are. Comparing genders to animals and objects is highly disrespectful, close-minded, and shows you really don't get it. These are people who know their truth, so trying to say they are wrong is ridiculous.

I Sir Laughsalot So if I am 100% white, but I want to identify as black and "be" black, I can? Even though genetically I have 0 black heritage in me and I never will have black heritage in me. But since blacks and whites are both human beings, I can identify how I want. Right?

I Sir Laughsalot _"If you want to become the opposite gender you can."_ No, actually, you can't. In no way can a male human ever become a female human. The body will never have the FUNCTION of the female body, no matter how expensive the surgery. Appearance without function is a superficial change. And individuals who undergo such gender reassignment surgery have suicide rates 20 times higher than those who never have the surgery. Chromosomal identity will ALWAYS be male. The IDENTITY disconnect is never resolved by the surgery. It is simply exacerbated. These people will never be accepted as wholly female or wholly male. A transgender reassigned female to male will still have the lower bone density, weaker hips, and less developed musculature. Worst of all, they will have a laughably small and only partially functional sexual organ and still can't generate semen. Chromosomal identity will ALWAYS be female. They will not be FUNCTIONALLY the opposite gender. You're pretending that this isn't a psychological issue isn't tolerance. It's enabling. In one case, you would never allow a delusional schizophrenic who believes that he can fly to jump off of a building, but here you are not just allowing but encouraging people who are under the misbegotten belief that their body and gender are two separate concepts to climb up onto a sexuality rooftop just the same. Hell, you are handing them a ladder. It isn't the same. It will never be the same. This universe does not work that way.

This came out great! Loved being part of this! Remember, when it comes to pronouns it's about respect. Of course you can choose to be a complete jerk and just disregard someone's pronouns for the sake of being a jerk. But remember that our identities do not rely on your validation. We are who we are regardless of whether or not you understand. There is a lot of hate against trans people in this society and if you care about changing that narrative, using proper pronouns is a basic step.

They then proceeded to try to put me down which I just found to be childish.

I only met one person like the one you described, but she was always harping about SJW things, to the point that even the trans*/non-binary people who knew her didn't want to be around her. There are always people like that in the world.

Firstly I am very respectful so if someone tells me they like to be referred to as he or she or mam or sir then I will do it. Secondly the only time someone should be offended or angry, is when the person referring to you knows how you like to be referred and still doesn't refer to you that way. Gender specific pronouns are only a big deal to people that identify with a gender that they where not born with, which is a very small % of people and the rest of us don't know or don't think about unless its brought up. If we refer to you with the wrong gender pronoun it doesn't mean we are insensitive, hateful, disrespectful or oppressive it just means we don't know. The whole point of this video was to get us talking about this and to be more sensitive to the needs of the transgender and to possibly come up with collectively, a fitting pronoun for transgender men and woman. Then I read some of the comments and this one sums it up the best "Would it kill you to be sensitive to someone's needs? Piece of shit... " It seems that we need to focus more on the SENSITIVITY and RESPECT then on who its for. Just my two cent.

Very eloquently said. I think most people, if they saw the issues that plague our society from a perspective other than their own, may see the world differently and change their ignorant, insensitive comments. I also find it ironic that the people you'd expect to be the most loving and sensitive, i.e. very religious Christians, are sometimes the most offensive and unloving people when an issue pertains to the LGBT community. As long as there are hypocrites using their religion as a reason for their hate, there will always be inequality. Something as simple as asking to be referred to as a "he" or a "she" should not be taken as an effort to make someone subservient and "bow down" to them when all they ask is that they are treated with respect which is what everyone is entitled to. I can only hope that people will change their perspective and allow themselves to through someone else's eyes. Also, I hope that I didn't come off as someone against religion. I just wanted to state that there are many people who follow a religion and use their religion as the basis of their hate but often forget that their religion also preaches acceptance and love.

Pup uwu Look, I get being called what you want to be called, and I'm fine with that. But if it's somebody you don't know and they think you look a certain way that 99.99% of time would be associated with one gender, but you don't choose to identify as that gender, don't get offended. Just respectfully correct me, and I will treat you with the same respect and call you what you want to be called. You shouldn't be offended if it's somebody you don't know because they don't know you so they don't know what you want to be referred as. It's a lot easier for a trans person to just respectfully correct a person that doesn't know them than for an entire society to have to think about what this person wants to be identified as before a conversation. It just doesn't feel natural and would be awkward to have to stop and think about that every time you talk to a new person. But if you let me know that you want to be called something else, I'll respect who you are and call you by that.

loverboy6667 We're both transgender. How come my identity should be respected but theirs shouldn't? Human gender is a huge spectrum, and far more complex than you've been taught to believe. The human brain is complex, and each person holds to such a variety of identities at any one time - familial, professional, socio-economical, platonical, romantic, sexual and so on and so forth. Our brains are far more complex than any computer we've managed to make. If all this is true, why would our concept of gender simply fit between two flag poles based on something as irrelevant as your genitalia (whether they match a cultural standard or not)? In that case, why would gender fluidity NOT be 'possible to comprehend'?

Like I said before it is 100% possible to comprehend as long as you understand from a physiological stand point, flipping between personalities, and letting one control you, literally makes you a split personality case. You're argument that each person hold different personalities is a complete grasp at straws. Comparing how you behave with family and how you behave at work, do not mean you have have different personalities, it means you have different persona's. I.E iI let you see what I want you to see at work compared to what i want my friends to see, same personality, different persona. To say you are a boy at the beginning of the day, then you change sometimes to girl or vice versa, Those changes will come with behavior change, you will act differently etc. Meaning a secondary personality is coming to fruition. So I do feel bad for you, because of the fact you have split personality disorder, but not for the fact that you are "transgender". You could of as easily been mentally human as well as mentally an owl. You just got lucky.

I have a friend who is gender fluid, and I am very much okay with it-just a little confused. When I can't see them (ie over text or other social media), what pronoun do I refer to them as? Do I ask them? It will it offend them? When speaking to others about them, I use the pronoun "they" but I obviously can't when talking directly to them.

a senior at my school is a transgender girl. I heard so much stuff about her but I never knew who she was. at our homecoming dance I saw a girl and I thought her dress was really pretty so I went up to her not having any idea who she was and told her that I loved her dress and it looked amazing on her. later I found out that she was the transgender girl everyone talks about. so honestly, there's no difference between someone born a girl, and someone who was born a girl, but in a male body. same thing goes for someone born a boy and someone born male in a girl body. I don't understand why some people have to be so ignorant and can't see that

'Transgender' isn't a noun - you can refer to 'transgender people', you know. And I think that's because trans people's rights and progress are 20 years behind gay rights. If you make the effort to go out and learn about trans people and what it means to be trans, you'll find that edginess leave you. I used to be completely misunderstanding about trans people and be 'edgy', until I realised that I am trans.

epicXmedia15 I would agree that it is ignorant, it shows an inherent lack of understanding about what we know today in regards to biological and psychological gender, sex, and orientation as well as the interplay between those things. It's not a bad thing to be ignorant, everyone is ignorant towards a great many things, and an inherent lack of understanding about something will make your uncomfortable indeed. Personally, I wouldn't label it as your 'opinion' though that makes you sound unnecessarily foolish and based on the way that you post I'd say that's probably an unfair reflection of your character. It's more like your initial feeling, you probably just haven't looked into it enough to form a real opinion.

Being misgendered feels like finding out the pet you loved and grew up with died. Your heart clenches, your stomach does flips, and your throat closes up. Being transgender feels like everyone around you has wings and they're flying and nobody questions it but once you start to fly, to start being who you are, everybody is mocking you, calling you a freak and an accident. Pronouns are so important so please, if you know somebody's pronouns or birth name, do not call them that. If you don't know, then don't assume, just ask.

Kyle Farscht But singular 'they' exists? How would you talk about someone if you didn't know their gender? Would you call them "it"? For example, would you say 'they should just do it themselves' or 'it should just do it itself'/ "He or she should do it him or herself"? English needs gender neutral pronouns, using 'they' is the most obvious choice. Other people seem to think it's okay. blog.dictionary.com/gender-neutral-singular-they/

kountrykountykid Like the others said, just use "they" until you know for sure, or just ask. However! I should tell you, you should please ask "what are your pronouns", not "what is your gender", as some people use pronouns that aren't expected of their gender, and some people may not be ready to explain their gender to you. But please don't make other peoples need for their identity to be respected about you and be like "oh, now I have to guess!"

kountrykountykid If they get pissed at "they" that's their problem. not yours. "They" can be used for any gender identity, I don't think anyone has the right to get pissy over that.

any trans people seeing this- do you mind when straight people use pronouns in their profile bios? all of my friends are doing it and sharing that it helps normalize it, but to me it looks like the same thing as having a straight pride parade. I’ve never had to go through anything where I was judged for my identity or discriminated against for my sexuality. I’ve never had to deal with misgendering or questioning my sexuality and it seems unfair to the trans community (in my perspective) that I should start putting my pronouns. It takes a lot for trans people to discover themselves and finally accept who they are, and I have never had an issue with it because I’m straight. I can easily decide my pronouns while trans people may have difficulty at first, so I don’t put my pronouns because I don’t want to try to be quirky or anything.

no its helpful bc then if a trans person (like myself) were to put their pronouns in their bio it wouldn’t immediately out themselves since cis people would also have pronouns in their bio. :)

Being misgendered is like being hit by a bus in the middle of your chest. You can't breath, and you freeze up completely. It's like being a deer in the headlights. It's the worst feeling ever, and no one deserves to have to go through it.

I agree with this video on almost every pint but if you look a certain way you will most likely be called by the pronoun that person thinks you are. I don't like how people are so quick to hate on people who don't know what gender someone identifies as because no one can look into someone else's mind. But it's totally a whole other story when someone does it on purpose...

I feel like it's okay to misgender someone by accident as long as you're polite and apologize. Like saying ma'am or sir and if they correct you don't go "no, you're clearly [female/male]", you should, to be respectful and kind, say "oh, I'm so sorry."

Its not even that they want to offend someone, its more of the idea compelling someone what they must say, these people are using the idea of 'respect' 'offense' and 'violence' in a way to compel people what they want to be addressed. Do you honestly think people would stop the hate on trans or non-binary or every gender there is just because they use the right pronoun?

It hurts, deeply. I have even comtemplated suicide or checking myself into a mental care facility. All because of who rude and discriminative people are to anything different. I self-identify as the Governor of Oklahoma, and people need to get past their hatefullness and recognize me for who I choose to be!
