My friends ask me all the time if I would like to be referred to as a male with male pronouns, and honestly I'm not sure sure how I feel about that.
The question is posed a lot around me, and it is always phrased differently:
What is it that determines a person's gender?
And I don't really know. I can say that gender is determined based on what a person is born as, but then I have a whole barrage of angry transsexuals outside my door. And I have no answer for their being born into the wrong body, and that has everything to do with me not even being able to figure myself out.
So obviously, sexual organs don't determine a person's gender. Is it their soul? But then I have a whole slew of different religions arguing to that claim. Maybe gender is what you feel inside. But then, that just means it's possible to be a manly woman and vice versa. So what do I know? *shrug*
And then I have nothing to answer to those who are born genderless, or with messed up chromosomes, or with everything else I am under-educated about.
Because I am not looking to offend the LGTBQ community, ignoring the fact that I am part of it, I am simply looking to understand which part of gender makes a person who they are and what determines that.
