I’m a Scorpio, through and through. I could sit here and try to describe the traits I possess, but I find it much easier to paste a description that matches me almost exactly. So here it goes:
I could never date someone who didn't like food as much as I do.
“And in the naked light I saw 10,000 people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared disturb the sound of silence.” —The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

I'm sorry, but it's just stupid to me. It makes no sense. God makes you male or female. Like 75% of the time, I feel like people are just saying their this or that for the sake of saying it and being different with their sexuality or gender or whatever. The next 25% might possibly be some hormone or brain inefficiency, idk, and whatever. But usually, that's hermaphrodite, is it not? It's just getting ridiculous to me.
It makes plenty of sense. And no, this is a hermaphrodite. And no, transgender, agender, non-gender, genderqueer, intersex, androgyne, and genderfluid are not individuals with “some hormone or brain inefficiency”. That is who they are and there’s nothing you can do or say to change that. They aren’t just “doing it for the sake of saying it and being different”. You should do some real research before assuming ‘statistics’ and ‘facts’ before you think know what you’re talking about. Your opinion can be however you want it to be in your own head, but like Seth was saying, in the end, it doesn’t matter what you think it is. Individuals who identify outside the gender binary do exist and for you to degrade and even invalidate their identity because you don’t understand it is hateful, judgmental, and frankly quite appalling.
Sidenote: gender and sexuality are not the same thing.
To sum up:
Or you’re going to end up a bitter, hateful person spreading your negativity to everyone around you.
