What does binary mean gender?

Are you confused about what binary gender means? Don’t worry; you’re not alone, my friend. In this article, we will break down the concept of binary gender into simple and hilarious terms that even a toddler could understand.

Before We Begin

Before we dive in, let’s clarify something: there is no such thing as a “normal” or “correct” way to express your gender. Everyone should be able to live their lives true to themselves without society forcing them into boxes or labels they don’t identify with (even if those boxes have fancy pink ribbons on them).

That being said, let’s get silly!

The Basics of Binary Gender

Binary gender is a belief system that divides people into two distinct categories based on their biological sex – male and female. According to this ideology, each person must conform to the traditional norms associated with their assigned category (which sounds more like an overzealous militant group than anything else).

Let’s break it down further:

Biological Sex

Biological sex refers to the physical characteristics someone is born with – reproductive organs, chromosomes, hormones etc. Most medical professionals label babies either male or female when they’re born based on having external genitalia (how rude!).

But here comes the kicker: not everyone who has been labelled male at birth necessarily identifies as such later in life. Ditto for people labelled female at birth.

Gender Identity

Gender identity relates less so with biology and more towards psychology – specifically one’s perception of oneself along masculine/feminine/androgynous lines…heck whatever takes your fancy! Some folks see themselves within clear cut boundaries (i.e., cisgender), while others feel more fluid across various types of identities (‘starry field wanderer’, anyone?).

Busting some myths about binary gender…

People are quick to make assumptions about ‘typical’ male or female behaviour, irrespective of whether they have concrete evidence to support their claims. (turns out anecdotal evidence doesn’t cut it).

Here are some myths on gender that we’ve heard and why they’re wrong:

Myth #1: Men can’t cry

While society (‘the man’ if you will..) encourages males to repress emotions – let’s be real here; everyone has feelings dammit! What era is this? You must embrace those tears my dudes!

Myth #2: Girls Don’t Fart!.

Newsflash – girls fart too. And should we be ashamed because it’s not ‘feminine’? Absolutely not!. So ladies lean back, blast them tunes and… fill your boots with taco bell?

Myth #3 : Blue for boys/Pink for Girls.

We all agree colours are cool AF but attaching a gender label implies there’re attribute categories assigned such as toughness VS gentleness- so once again let people live whenever colour spectrum makes whiskers tingle rather than societal norms telling us what way the wind blows.

Moving Forward..

It may seem easy for individuals who fit into societally acceptable boxes like male/female or gay/straight, but don’t forget that there’s still an entire world of humans around the world exploring identities outside binary systems (please note taking care while enforcing contemporary legislation/social normative standards). We hope this article put things in perspective albeit whilst adding creative flavour and humour!
