@kat that's broad, but it sounds scientific if you say it's a spectrum, which it probably is...

@jansegers as a trans person not believing in gender identity  is problematic

@jansegers @kat Ivan E. Coyote and Rae Spoon wrote a great book on that topic called 'Gender Failure' or 'Goodbye Gender' in the German translation: http://www.raespoon.com/books

@marcus @jansegers Looking at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgenderism I don't like that either.  It seems too technofetishist.

@kat @jansegers yeah, technofetish ;)

@kat I can't help you with that, except for pointing to try to learn and use Toki Pona, a language of 123 words, created for breaking down complex thought

@kat Toki Pona was created by Sonja Elen Kisa, now called Sonja Lang, but born Richard Christian.

@kat it really helped him/her during his/her sex change period.

@kat Toki Pona has been used by some psychiaters in Scandinavia in the same way : reducing complexity by going back to the basics.

@kat So I'm not the only one who thinks this... What lead you to that conclusion?

@kkebreau I believe in gender.  It's imposed on individuals, and used to constrain and restrict people. If it exist in me, it's like a scar

@kat ...identity that comes out of the transgender community today, but at the same time it feels odd to confine it all to shades of gender.
Show threadKei KebreauMar 13, 2017
@kat This sort of thinking lead me to not identify as a gender, as the contrast between genders seemed meaningless to me in a global sense.

@kat the only problem I see is that the usual discourse people are producing almost standardly includes these categories; but all categorizations are fictitious in the end.

A category or a label is just a tool for reasoning in a simplified matter about a for more complex reality.
