Gender Labels and Sexual Orientations

[W!nston]

I am a man. I have all the male parts. I identify myself as a man. I am Gay. I have all the Gay attractions and none of the Str8 ones. Those are the labels for me.

What do you consider the proper labels for you? I know how politically incorrect 'labels' are but screw it. The PC Police can 'blow me'.

I read a story about someone Michael Phelps dated who is labeled as 'Intersex'. WTF?

The male, female and hermaphrodite labels are so ambiguous we need a new gender?

So the genders are male, female, hermaphrodite and intersex.

Sexual Orientations are another cluster fuck (pardon my little joke).

Gay, Str8, Bi, Tranny... ?

LGBTQ?

I am confused.

It keeps getting more complicated.

Help a brother out here.

Am I missing anything? Are there other labels not mentioned here that I should know about?

Allow me to be equally blunt - fuck labels - fuck them to hell.

What good do they do? We all agree that neither gender nor orientation should determine rights, so why waste our times trying to squeeze ourselves into pigeon holes all the time?

You are missing out asexual, which is something we all are when we are too worn out to think about sex. Fortunately for most of us the condition is short lived but there are people who have no interest in boys or girls or any kind of sex who are the real asexuals.
To follow from what gb said, whatever we call ourselves, we are all human and all of equal worth.

I am a male who is sexually attracted to other males, but I can't be gay.
I don't dress well enough...

As for "Intersex" it's a term for a condition that for many years was confused with hermaphrodites. Hermaphrodites have both male and female sex organs while intersex people have sex organs that actually look like those of the opposite sex. there are several different types of intersex.

a type 46XY has testicles inside the body and often a shrunken, malformed penis that resembles a clitoris, so they look like a female with a malformed vagina.

The type 46XX is a female whose ovaries are outside the body and resemble testicles. They still have a uterus and fallopian tubes inside and often have a fused labia and enlarged clitoris that looks like a penis...

This is often caused by a pregnant mother being exposed to testosterone...

Still confused?

Simply trisexual. I'm attracted to Ladys, Boys and Ladyboys. I am even sometimes asexual, well, not for a long time, but a few weeks ... and, oh, I dress like a man, feel like a man - an old fashioned Macho sometimes. But the real Label is : Top. Never Bottom !

Don't get bogged down on terminology, gay, straight, etc. just find out what works for you and enjoy it!

That's the sentence I've waited for. Thank you RockNLol for this good and comprehensive statement! :thumbs up:
