Genderstraddlers 12 years, 2 months agoOkay, so is it wrong of me to suggest that sex and gender can be unrelated concepts? In that a person’s physical sex doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their gender presentation?

Yeah I knew you weren’t being snarky or anything.
It really frustrates me that these issues/terminology aren’t widely known or accepted.
