Please share your gender w/the rest of the jellies?
it seems so many get taken aback when they realize they are talking to a different gender than previously thought

Looks down, I’m not really sure.
I’m a girl. And johnpowell has a Rufus.
what the hell is a rufus?
I believe the word @amoebic liked was “Mantastic”... @Allie was partial to “A-Man-zing”
i’m partial to “Manorific” :p
muchacha? What does it mean?
My biological sex is male and my gender can be androgynous but for the most part is masculine (by the typical definition of the term).
I asked this same question I think like four months ago, but fresh batch of users – makes sense.
I am a chickadee.
<< Is a girl. Is it a stretch to call myself a girl at 41?
@augustlan – no, I’m a girl too
not sharing my age though
Male i have a detachable penis :D
@sandystrachan I…I thought I was the only one 0_0 [cue the dramatic music]
@Nially_Bob I was born with mine, an experiment they said went drastically wrong. I think it went rather well
@sandystrachan Before experimenting on Wolverine they tested the properties of adamantium by making a detachable penis for me out of it with my chloroform related consent. I then proceeded to fight crime with it for a brief period but unfortunately only the severely homophobic criminals seemed affected so now I just live life casually with wife, kids and a cushy job in the viagra advertisement industry.
It depends on how you look at life.
@Lightlyseared You’ve peaked my interest. Could you explain further please? Are you simply emphasising the difference between the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ or expressing a more uncommon perspective of the terms?
At concerts and other events, the line for our bathroom is always longer.
I just looked myself over and discovered that I’m still a man. This is very good news.
@rooeytoo, Are you serious? I thought you were a guy.
@dalton. I do not. And don’t call me Shirley. =)
@dalton: If it makes you feel better, you can call me Shirley…as long as I can call you Laverne. :)
@dalton. We’re just naturally weird like that. =)
Shirley you can’t date yourself!
I am possessing a schlong.
@Bluefreedom: I’m only 21, and you are, too…right? I saw that movie on tv!
@cprevite: Did you ask that guy before you took his schlong? I’ve never known you to be so violent.
@bythebay. Thank you for the nice compliment about my age. I’m actually twice as old as what you said. That was a great movie that the ‘And don’t call me Shirley’ line is from – the movie Airplane. One of my all time favorite comedies.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
My children call me mom.
I’m a boy with a vagina. I usually cause more confusion than clarification by answering this question.
@bythebay: Well it was the detachable kind.
@jonsblond: You’re doing pretty good if all they’re calling you is “Mom”.
@MacBean: So you’re greedy?! ;^)
@cprevite Thank you. If they do call me anything else, it’s not to my face. They are very respectful. :)
Sometimes I’m a girl, other times a woman, but I never seem to be a lady.
Male. And I can prove it!
I’m a boy, but I’m not very good at it.

I just got out of the pool!!!!!
Gender or sex? I’d say my gender is queer and my sex is female.
@tinyfaery gender, but I like your answer, good one
and I like your name, superb:)
@Mr_M – I’m going to need to see that proof;)
I am of the girly-girl variety.
Not that is means too much, but am female so long as i get to define what that means :-)
Speaking purely gender, not sex, by narrow standards i’m a bit androgynous. (Feminine in many ways, but not confined to just such, and into some stuff that often dominated by guys.)
In all honesty, not entirely sure if there’s any finite definition of feminine or masculine… they’re very ephemeral, and strongly relative culturally & temporally, yet certain cues and traits are often associated with one or the other. And i don’t think it’s healthy at all for anyone – psychologically – to limit themselves from expressing traits/tendencies that want to be expressed merely because they consider themselves one gender or the other… or to uncritically accept social pressures based on what gender they are.
@resmc I love your answers
new q’s too post?
Thanks! – was afraid people would just roll their eyes at me, as per usual, being unable to keep from going on a long tangent that doesn’t directly answer the question. :-)
Also, this was a good question to ask… seems common sense that we’d wonder, yet it’s not something that’d come to mind to ask.
Questions about what? The meaning of feminine & masculine? How healthy it is to limit oneself based on your gender? (or all, lol)
@resmc how about a question on what it means to be “gender-neutral”?
@Dr_C Am not even sure myself. Haven’t heard that much, except maybe as a sort of ‘colorblindness’ (is an older, now-thankfully-outmoded/refuted form of anti-racism) as applies to sexism. (Or maybe i mistunderstood it to be that). If it applies to people’s personality, not exactly sure what it’d mean… is it like androgyny, if you define that as having a balance of traits usually thought of as feminine & masculine?
After you explain what you know (if you can, at least – should put out a warning about the obligations which come with piquing my curiousity XD), perhaps you should take the honor of asking the question, having brought up the subject
@resmc not a bad idea… i might just post the Q. BTW my understanding of the term stems from a lack of defining traits or characteristics that would pigeon-hole someone in either one gender or the other… a feeling of not belonging exclusively to one or the other based on stereotypical and or societal standards.
Yeah; am definitely against pidgeonholing, too… despite commonly assuming someone’s gender based on a probably unsufficient observations of character traits. But, aside from factoring in how gendered socialization may affect people’s assumptions/experiences*, & odd, usually inconsequential habits, am not into making a huge mental distinction between the genders (though of course, this doesn’t always happen, having absorbed binaryism from our culture enough for it to subconsciously affect my mental habits).
* Very important, in terms of certain manifestations of sexism.
i think the problem there lies in the subconscious acting out the absorbed bynary state of current social trends… if one were to make a conscious decision about what traits one chooses to express and accept as one’s own the societal implications would be mute.
It’s more a problem of projecting the assumptions that, tho i differ, others to some extent adhere to binary self-definitions.
Am sure there’s some social expectations i place on myself merely because of my gender (rather than sex, which can be different… like, it’d be ridiculous to expect myself not to take regular safety precautions against rape, which is in good part a product of being female in all but – possibly the most progressive – societies), which need to be viewed critically… but that’s not my priority currently. Need to deal with my own assumptions/habits re: race, class, gender to the extent that they could negatively affect others first.
I thought it was just a question of whether I had a penis or a vagina!!!
I am a sometimes effeminate male and a sometimes masculine female with jiggly boy parts. Depends on the time of day and my mood. To keep it simple, you can call me a guy.
I’ve got the 21st finger!
@fireside Or lots of extra fingers on two hands…
Girl but I wish I were and seem like a boy but sometimes I’m glad that I’m a girl.
