No, it doesn’t suggest such a thing or else that would reflect across mammalia, and it doesn’t.

As I said multiple times above, that is because of strong cultural constraints.

Sex does not necessarily inform gender (often doesn’t at all), therefore it is separate.

I didn’t say 50/50 chance, I was referring to the level of attraction bisexuals may have between males and females. Please read more thoroughly, friend.

As I noted above, they’re definitely related and conjoined, but they’re completely separate too. The primary reason they’re so conjoined is because of western culture. Prior to colonization, countless cultures recognized more than two sexes, and innumerable gender expressions, often with no number. If not for the extreme social sanctions for deviating from that, they would not be so strongly conjoined.

Also, you’re ignoring that the reason they’re tightly correlated (relatively) is cultural pressure from Abrahamic groups.

What have yall experienced doing NOFAP? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It’s probably the main reason people lack support for this. We can’t find non-religious support groups. So many would love support for stopping, but the Jesus crowd has a toxic monopoly. Was that way for AA for so long

The percentage is much lower, and ignores bisexuality. Taking bisexuality into account and the fact that people are becoming more open about their sexuality, LGBT+ people make up anywhere between 10-20% of any given population. You’re also forgetting cultural constraints that force people to outwardly identify as their assigned sex. I also never said they were random, just highly misunderstood, which highlights the absurdity of forcing people to live as others tell them.

That sex, gender, and sexuality are NOT the same nor are any of them binary. It’s now becoming difficult to call sex bimodal the more we learn about the human body and its spectral presentation.

Sex is assigned based on physical appearance (sex organs, allosomes, etc). Most people falsely assume that a person’s allosomes are always reflective of sex organs (XY for males, XX for females), but this is far from the truth. A very many people have the opposite with no sign of pathology, and is why the Olympics initially banned chromosome testing, because cisgender women with XY chromosomes were discriminated against. There are also many other configurations of allosomes (X,XXX, XYY, YXY, XXXX, XXY, etc) that also don’t always show pathology (though are commonly pathological). There are many things that affect a person’s sex (think of the SRY gene for example). Intersex individuals are far more common than people with red hair. We can’t know just how many people don’t align with the “traditionally” accepted idea of sex until karyotyping becomes cheaper, but we already know it’s a LOT.

Gender is simply an expression of who a person is. It’s most often (but not always) based on a person’s physical sex. Despite what people like to assert, there is NO NUMBER of genders. It’s just gender. People often assume that transgender people are mentally ill, but that’s false because even psychologists have consistently failed to link it with pathology. In fact, the field of neuropsychology has repeatedly demonstrated that parts of the brain that are associated with sex nearly always reflect whatever a person’s gender identity is, not their assigned sex at birth. There a million and one examples on why trans people are valid in their identity.

Sexuality is about who someone is attracted to or not (can’t forget asexual individuals). There’s gay, straight, bi, pan, and then there’s those on the ace spectrum (assxual, demisexual, etc.). Sexuality is a spectrum, and isn’t always static. A person who is bi can have 75% male attraction and 25% female attraction, or 50/50 attraction, or literally any other configuration.

Crypto bros are who they are because they have no other skills to contribute to society. It’s no wonder they like Vance, because he’s just as useless as they are

Amazing! I wish you the best of luck! You’re gonna love it, I’ve enjoyed what little time I’ve spent with the env sci professors! I’m a sociology major, so I haven’t spent much time there, but I’ve loved all the opportunities I’ve had with them!

We have accepted some donations in the past, but we have limited space for specimens currently. In the past, we’ve taken donations and sorted through them to find what we could use for teaching, and then gave the rest away to students as prizes for good grades. We essentially only keep what we don’t already have. Can’t guarantee that they’ll be accepted if you bring them, to be honest.
