Throughout much of recorded history, societal norms largely adhered to a binary understanding of gender, recognizing only two distinct categories: male and female.
This dichotomous perspective permeated cultures worldwide and played a pivotal role in shaping roles, behaviors, and expectations.
This dualistic approach to gender was often deeply intertwined with cultural, religious, and social frameworks, resulting in a worldview that primarily acknowledged individuals as either men or women based on their assigned sex at birth.
In civilizations across the globe, the binary concept of gender held sway for centuries. Societies established rituals, norms, and even legal structures based on this understanding.
As societies evolved, so did the quest for more genders. The traditional binary notion of male and female has slightly lost value due to the increasing notion for recognition of more genders. Most of these are obviously not acceptable in society. This is because they defy the existence of humanity.
Originally you are born either male or female, this is defined by the private organs of a person which are the penis and vagina. In this technological era where everything impossible now seems possible, the doctor can mapped out your feminine gene and replace it with the male genes thus creating a whole new gender known as transgender.
This gender is one among the many profound genders that we are going to explore and try to understand why the world is running mad because of gender.
Cisgender:
A person whose gender identity aligns with the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, someone assigned female at birth who identifies as a woman is cisgender.
Transgender:
Individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. This term encompasses a wide range of experiences, from those who transition through medical means to those who express their gender identity in non-traditional ways.
Non-Binary:
Non-binary individuals do not exclusively identify as male or female. They may identify as a mix of both, neither, or as a different gender altogether. Non-binary people may use terms like genderqueer, genderfluid, or agender to describe their identity.
Genderqueer:
This term often refers to individuals who challenge or reject traditional gender norms. They may have a fluid or non-static experience of gender.
Genderfluid:
Genderfluid people experience shifts in their gender identity over time. They may feel more connected to different genders on different days.
Agender:
Individuals who identify as agender do not identify with any gender. They may feel a lack of gender or a neutral gender identity.
Bigender:
People who identify as bigender experience two distinct gender identities, either simultaneously or at different times.
Two-Spirit:
A term used by some Indigenous cultures to describe a person who embodies both masculine and feminine qualities. Two-Spirit people are often revered for their unique perspective and role in the community
The gender transformation and identity ideology was slightly in the dark before the pandemic.but as people grew idol so did the movement grow gradually and within the span of two years the ideology and their beliefs that were mostly in shadow have been brought to the light.
As a citizen of the world I believe that everyone has a right to do any thing that he/she/they/them/we/as/weAs deserve to do, but this is eating up the young generation and the generations to come will also be affected by this mindset of gender multiplicity. Imagine coming back home and your child tells you daddy am transgender.
This is wrong and it will remain wrong.These are the reasons why I think people are wrongly representing gender.
Scientific Understanding:
Scientific research in fields such as biology, genetics, and neuroscience has revealed that gender is more complex than initially thought. Biological sex is itself not strictly binary, as there are intersex individuals who are born with variations in sex characteristics that do not fit typical definitions of male or female.
Non-Binary and Genderqueer Experiences:
Non-binary and genderqueer individuals have shared their experiences of not identifying exclusively as male or female. These personal stories have shed light on the existence of gender identities that fall outside the traditional binary framework.
Transgender Identities:
The experiences of transgender individuals, who identify with a gender different from their assigned sex at birth, highlight the disconnect between biological sex and gender identity. This has led to a broader understanding that gender is not solely determined by physical characteristics.
Psychological Research:
Psychological studies have shown that gender identity is a deeply personal aspect of one's sense of self. These studies emphasize that individuals may have a gender identity that aligns with traditional male or female categories, but they may also have identities that exist beyond these labels.
Legal and Policy Changes:
Many countries and regions are updating legal frameworks and policies to include recognition of non-binary and other gender identities. These changes reflect a societal acknowledgment that gender is not confined to a binary model.
As I conclude this story I would like people to look at this revolution in depth and understand its effect on society. People should not relate it to mental health because these two are different issues. Most people in western countries tend to claim that most of their wrongdoings are because of mental health or illness.
