"It's too watery to write gender explanations in the main text, and the writer's testimonial can only write 500 words, so a new chapter is opened."

Platypus Gender:

The platypus has 5 separate pairs of chromosomes in its cells, which come together as the cell divides and determine the sex of the platypus individual: females with 10 X chromosomes, and males with 5 X chromosomes and 5 Y chromosomes.

Theoretically, platypuses could possess 25 different sexes.

But this phenomenon does not happen in practice.

This is most likely because platypuses are single-pored organisms and do not have enough structure to show more traits.

The so-called single-pore structure, i.e., urination, defecation and sexual reproduction all take place in a single pore.

The entry on this aspect will be presented in the second week.

Note 2: Gender.

There are now more than 100 gender identities in a group, and I chose 25 of them to write in the book.

Because there is no precise definition of the gender of some groups, and there is a certain overlap, I have made some additions and changes

Here are some definitions of gender:

1. Male

2. Female

3. Genderless. People who do not have a developmental sex, or who do not feel that they have any strong gender affiliation. They don't necessarily think they don't have a gender, but they may feel that gender is not their core trait.

4. Intersex (adjective). It is basically synonymous with the above, but with more emphasis on external performance.

5. Intersex. People who can switch between the two types of self-gendering. The two genders are not necessarily male and female, but can be many of the other non-traditional genders mentioned here.

6. Cis female. It is basically synonymous with the above, with a slight emphasis on sexual characteristics.

7. Cis male. More emphasis is placed on men.

8. Female to male. A person who was born female but has completed or is in the process of transitioning to a male self-identity. Such a transformation can be completely psychological and social, and can also be accompanied by surgery and hormone therapy. This label can be a temporary label in the transition process; It can also be permanent, indicating that the person considers the birth gender to be part of their own life as well.

9. Male to female. See Female to Male.

10 non-conformist genders. People who reject the traditional gender binary. In fact, many of the 56 genders here are not binary distinctions — but those who choose this option emphasize their own rejection traits: I don't belong to the traditional binary, but I also don't try to pinpoint my position. There are several options below that have similar meanings.

11 Queer Gender. Similar to the non-conventional gender. The word "queer" has a strange meaning, but in recent decades it has become one of the synonyms for non-traditional gender, giving rise to "queer theory," a cultural theory that studies gender roles.

12. Intersex people. People who have sexual characteristics of both men and women due to chromosomal or developmental abnormalities.

13. Neither sex. See non-conformist gender, but does not emphasize the meaning of rejection. It is usually people who know that they do not belong to the traditional binary male and female, but are not familiar with the terminology.

14. Pan-gender. Think of yourself as a mix of various gender traits, a little bit of each.

15. Transgender. In contrast to cisgender, self-sex identification is different from biological sex at birth. Note that transgender is not an unconventional gender, and transgender people still use the gender binary, but their self-identity happens to be the opposite of their birth sex. Transgender people may or may not have experienced gender transition.

16. Transgender women. Born male, but now self-identifies as female.

17. Transgender men. Born female, but now self-identifies as male.

18. Transgender people. People who don't want to clearly indicate where they are stepping from.

19. Transgender woman. ……

20. Transgender men. ……

21. Transsexuals. ……

22. Two soul people. A term from Native American cultures, "a person who has both the soul of a man and a woman in his body". Basically synonymous, but unlike the cold medical term from Greek, this North American term emphasizes its mystic and romantic qualities.

23 Fluid People. People who have experienced changes in gender identity at different times.

Unlike bigender, which switches between two well-defined states, the change of a fluid person is a continuum. In fact, almost every person's gender has fluid qualities, for example, when a woman is surrounded by other women, her femininity and identity tend to be stronger; But most people don't self-identify as fluid.

24 The gender of the class is considered to be a certain kind of aggregate.

25 partial gender cognition, believing that different structures in one's body have different personalities and genders, similar to schizophrenia......
