Expanded on from a Tumblr post I saw.
Kids, there's no such thing as an opposite gender hoặc sex. That belief is fucking toxic.
The phrases imply there are only two genders and only two sexes. That's very very very very wrong - take it from me, a nonbinary kid who doesn't identify as fully a girl hoặc a boy.
'Cause look, there are boys and there are girls. Most people are like that. But bạn can also be neither a boy nor a girl. hoặc bạn can be a little of both. hoặc something else entirely. There aren't just two genders and being nonbinary is probably a little thêm common than bạn think.
And there aren't just two sexes, either. Biological sex isn't stagnant and people are not always born with strictly a penis hoặc a vagina. Intersex people exist, and so do people with chromosome abnormalities!!!
Beyond that, even if bạn do just have a penis hoặc just have a vagina, other sex characteristics can differ because of chromosomes hoặc other genetic differences. There are women with thêm testosterone and men with thêm estrogen. There are women with testes and men with breasts. Biological sex can be as much a spectrum as gender.
"Opposite gender/sex" ignores that spectrum and instead enforces a binary: "You're a boy hoặc a girl, a male hoặc a female, and those two things are totally opposite." This ignores everything in the middle, completely erasing countless identities. Stop saying it!!!
White we're on the topic, there are other ways to avoid being accidentally cissexist:
-Don't assume gender based on appearance. I have boobs but I ain't a girl. Skirts aren't inherently female either, and baggy pants aren't inherently male. We're socialized to automatically assume gender the moment we meet someone, but sometimes what we assume isn't true. Always keep that in mind.
-If you're not sure how to address someone bạn can ask for their pronouns. ALWAYS use the pronouns someone tells you. Some people use different pronouns like "they" hoặc "ze." These probably, but not always, mean the person does not identify as cisgender. Don't câu hỏi their pronoun choices; just go with them.
-Don't assume sex and gender are the same. People with vaginas are not always girls and people with penises are not always men. This is the kind of thing that slips into casual conversation all the time, like "the best thing about boys is their dicks" etc. That kind of language is extremely dangerous because it promotes the idea that gender and sex are the same, which they are not!
This is all stuff I'm v passionate about. I'm not cisgender and neither are many of my friends, neither are countless people worldwide. Please be open minded about sex and gender. Please be mindful of your thoughts, attitudes and words. Pay attention to what bạn think and say, note and change and cissexism. It'll help make the world just a little thêm livable for all us queer kids.
In case you're unfamiliar with some of the language, here are some terms I used in this bài viết with definitions in my own words:
Cisgender: identifying as the gender bạn were assigned at birth
Nonbinary: not identifying as strictly a boy hoặc girl
Intersex: having anatomy that is not strictly male hoặc female
Cissexist: enforcing that the idea that bạn can ONLY be a boy hoặc a girl, male hoặc female

These trích dẫn are trích dẫn with differnt meanings of tọc mạch, chồn, ferret hoặc just the animal.
“If a tọc mạch, chồn, ferret bites bạn it is nearly always your own fault.”
“To go rabbit hunting with a dead ferret"
“I'm not sure what the các lượt xem are. I had a private conversation and I did get a feeling ? a feeling. Well, bạn can't take a feeling to the bank. So, it's up to me to try to tọc mạch, chồn, ferret it out.”
“I can't talk to a man who bears an undeserved animosity towards ferrets.”
“You need that U.N. inspection team in there on the ground. They're the people that can find it and tọc mạch, chồn, ferret it out,”
“We still have a lot of work to do, and we still have to work on recovering prairie dog populations so the ferrets can survive.”
The End!

READ THIS!!! I didn't write this poem, I found it earlier today.
While emoji (graphical presentations of emoticons) are probably most known, “kaomoji” (from “kao” = face, “moji” = character) are the Japanese version of Western/Eastern emoticons and there are practically endless variations available.
The biggest difference to the Western/Eastern and Japanese emotions is that they read horizontally and bạn don’t need to turn your head to understand them.
For example the Western/Eastern emoticon for “Happy” looks like this :-)/:) while the Japanese version looks like this (^_^).
Do bạn use these emotions hoặc others in your emails?
Here are some examples:
(^_^) happy
(((º Д º ;))) scared
(-´´-;) problems
(>_<) angry
(?_?) confused
(-.-)zzZ sleepy
(^ _^;) embarrassed
(^O^) very happy
(T_T) sad
(^ ε ^) Kiss
-See thêm emotions here: link
1) wacg alote of T.V. hoặc be on the computer a long time

3) drink a lot of soda hoặc crush

Another problem thats spreading on Fanpop. The problem is that people keep reporting people for dumb reasons. For example my friend some people reported her because she didnt agree with them and thats wrong. Like what happened to ''We are a big fanpop family''?. That doesnt even matter anymore does it ? Just when somebody makes bạn mad hoặc doesnt agree with your point of view bạn just báo cáo them and thats just a whole bunch of bullshit. Like for real handle reporting responsibly if someone makes bạn mad keep going on with life if someone doesnt agree with your view point just accept dont báo cáo thm. Because we are a big family and we dont báo cáo hoặc block family we care and hiển thị tình yêu for them and YES we all argue its natural but just to báo cáo someone is taking it too far
PLZ STOP IT!!
whos w/ me?
tình yêu all around

The tiếp theo day, the FBI agents descend on Billy Bob's house. They searchthe shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open everypiece of wood, butfind no marijuana. They swore at Billy Bob and left. The phone rings at Billy Bob's house. Hey, Billy Bob! Did the FBI come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep." "Happy Birthday, Buddy!"
