The following passage can be found in "Genderfluid and Agender."

49/x

In the years ahead, you will continue to hear conservative Republican politicians rally crowds of profoundly ignorant people by proclaiming, “there are only two genders.”

On cue, these crowds will erupt into thunderous applause at the prospect of someone telling them they are wise for being so close minded.

Many people, listening to this, will know the conservative politician is being a transphobic asshole, but for the life of them, they won’t know what those additional genders are.

50/x

Because you read this series, you will know a lot more than that.

The group of people disparaged by these remarks are nonbinary people, who have a gender identity that isn’t exclusively male or female.

About 1% of US adults are nonbinary.

The most common identities used by nonbinary people are umbrella terms, like queer, transgender, and genderqueer.

51/x

Some people use nonbinary to describe their gender, without also using a more specific term.

The most common specific nonbinary identities are genderfluid and agender.

52/x

So not only will you know that the conservative politician is wrong, but why.

You will also know the basic facts about the ideas and identities they are looking to disparage and suppress.

53/x

In addition to hearing these identity terms, you might also see the colorful pride flags associated with them.

The most common gender identity flags are the transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid flags.

I discussed these flags in "Gender Identity and Biological Sex."

When it comes to biology and gender, many people have a narrow and overly simplistic view of the world.

They view people as either male or female, based solely on their anatomy at birth.

There are many people who don’t fit neatly into this simplistic worldview.

Transgender people don’t identify as the gender they were assigned at birth.

Nonbinary people have a gender that isn’t exclusively male or female.

These people are known as intersex.
