It’s only based on the sexes in western culture

In eastern culture the only way you could really tell what sex an enlightened was, was by physically checking their genitalia

i think thats because non-western culture rejects gender as a concept 😛 If you're a man but think you're a woman in Middle east you get thrown off of a roof
In east-asia you have to end your life to bring honor
In Africa you get eaten

That’s because most of the peaceful cultures of old that had these beliefs have been genocided

but i still find myself in disagreement towards this

Gender is simply a generalisation of "In a large group of men, most will exhibit these traits" same with wamen

And this is still defined in any culture
In the middle east, Men are considered the stronger ones because in their nature they are supposed to be the strong alpha ones in general

In China you had the one child policy where the people prefered to have boys because they were more advantageous for a family to have because men in general can carry more weight

One of my favorite societies & cultures to ever exist was the Iroquois League that inhabited precolonial New York & Pennsylvania. Sadly they’re basically extinct today because, the right of Conquest is a thing

Despite what Hollywood movies like Avatar may show us, Gun > Stick

but if yuo break stick

then you have two stick

stick win every time

I mean, yes, in modern eastern culture the 3rd gender is basically dead

The 3rd gender basically died universally when abrahamic religion took over the world

Because abrahamic religions are patriarchal in nature

but im saying there can't be a 3rd gender because genders are derived from the traits found in the biological sexes

for a 3rd gender to exist you need a 3rd sex

I’m saying the 3rd is derived from the null

You can’t magically become null.

and how is that defined? cuz it sounds like the "agender" bull that tumblrists preach

Basically.

If the number of sexes is n the number of genders is n + 1. One for each sex, and one for the people who basically abandon all earthly ties

The difference is tumblr’s idea of agender is “I don’t like male or female so I pick neither”

not acting on your impulses is not creating a different gender

these "enlightened" people still had the same general traits associated with their sex, they just chose not to act on it

like celebate people in churches

Which is quite different from “I wonder the earth in search of enlightenment while abandoning the desires of the flesh”

It’s called asexual. It’s not a new gender.

And if you believe in a spiritual third gender then you have no argument against all the genders SJWs have made up.

There’s a difference between being asexual, and living without material possessions, any major bonds with other people, and surviving off the bare minimum

being a minimalist doesn't make you a 3rd gender though

its like those vulcans from star trek

they still had emotion, they just suppressed it

a celebate minimalist is still part of their original gender, they just suppress the impulses and urgest commonly associated with said sex/gender

Vulcans also lived among themselves in a society and fit into 2 distinct roles

And are also completely fictional

as are 3rd genders

Again, it would depend on how you defined gender. If you defined it based on societal roles and norms, the 3rd option has existed historically in ancient civilization. That’s what I base the difference on. There are no societal norms associated with any of the genders Tumblr’s created. They’re made up names. In many ancient civilizations people who chose the path of enlightenment had different societal expectations and traits attributed to them than Men & Women did

gender isn't based on social norms, its based on traits from biological sex

And okay

lets assume theres a gender from rejecting both urges

then there must also be one to embrace both

its polar opposite
