Description
Physical Sex =/= GenderPhysical Sex =/= Sexuality
Gender =/= Sexuality
Physical Sex = The junk you are born with.
Gender = Your social expression.
Sexuality = What expressions and bodies you are attracted to.
Newsflash; people are more than a social construct built 100's of years ago.

I agree so much with this.
I hate it when people assume I'm a girl because I have a vagina when I'm non-binary.

Same, I'm FtM but I'm short and feminine/androgynous, and I get misgendered everyday.Β

Except physical sex tends to come with the assorted hormones most of the time
Therefore yeah, in most cases gender = physical sex

I'm read by society as female but identify as non-binary/genderqueer. However I don't fit the stereotype of being a "girl", there is a difference in identity as you feel it and how you express it. This most people of today don't get because they Think masculine and feminine is two categories to group traits in. Sometimes it can be tough to break the norm tho, because people will question you.

I'm gonna use that stamp just because your point is great. I'm tired of hearing comments/questions like "Haven't you already dreamed of your wedding dress? You'll be the bride after all, girl dear!" and "Why you don't like make-up or pink?" because I have to explain why I'm a tomboy. *sigh*Β

Yes I understand you completely in that sense, I myself am engaged to a person of the opposite sex and due to that people keep asking us when we will marry and have our children. Thing is, I myself don't see myself as a "woman", nor am I a "man" but I prefer to use gender-neutral terms and ever since I found out there's an unofficial term called Hir in English I've been excited to use it. Some people may label me as immature or weird for my interests, but I have learned to be stronger. You have to be strong when someone leaks your personal photos onto a place like 4chan anyway.
Eventually people will have to accept or go away, because you cannot change who you are at heart.

Interesting, I've never heard of this "Hir" word. In my speculative fictions I have always used artificial terms such as Vhey (they), Vhis (hers/his), Vhe (she/he), Vhem (them), and Vheir (their) to refer to beings such as artificial intelligences, movs (sapient robots), and people who do not consider themselves to be male or female. (There are some A.I.s and movs who consider themselves to be male or female, just look at eonal movs) The only exception to this is The Visitor who chose to refer to Itself as an "It" as a way to separate Itself from concepts and constructs created by organic life (The threat It poses is immense, don't confuse It with your average killer robot).

That must be annoying. People have asked from me many times, when my parents will be grandparents... (Despite the fact I'm fuckin' 17 and single!) But funny fact is that I can't see myself as a mother, because I'm a way too work-oriented and short-tempered for that. I just can't stand kids, no matter what age they are. And I guess to be a good parent that's quite necessary... But parents, do they understand. Nope.
That's an interesting term! I personally love Finnish for one, stupid reason: we have only one term for describing the third person. (he/she) It's very handy, I think. Unfortunately in English it's more difficult to write gender-neutrally. :<
Yeah, I know... Maybe that's why people leave me. I won't bow for pleasing anyone.
