That you don't identify with the binary gender system, ie neither as a man or as woman.

EDIT: Or, "Intersexed people are individuals born with anatomy or physiology which differs from contemporary ideals of what constitutes "normal" male and female" (http://www.ukia.co.uk/)

Huh, intesexed was always accounted for under T*, I had thought.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

"An intersexual is a person (or individual of any unisexual species) who is born with genitalia and/or secondary sexual characteristics of indeterminate sex, or which combine features of both sexes. (The terms hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite, which have been used in the past, are now considered pejorative and inaccurate and no longer used to refer to an intersexual person.) Sometimes the phrase "ambiguous genitalia" is used."

Hrm, I always used intersexed in the stricter medical sense, and used genderqueer for that, but times they are a-changin', I guess.

And that reason is intolerance of differences.
Religions need to realize that there are, there have been all along, people different than them.

Then again, I don't care what any religion says, so it doesn't really matter if they don't like homosexuality.

If it doesn't hurt you, and it doesn't hurt me, WHO CARES if it is a man and a woman, 2 men, or 2 women? Personally, I go for women, and I'm a guy. What people do is their own affair.

In short, get your nose out of other people's business. It's rude and sick.

Hey, guess what, the Catholic Church before the 1300s and probably for a while after didn't care about homosexual activities so long as a full grown adult wasn't in the passive role. Even then they generally turned a blind eye to the act. Also, there is no condemnation of homosexuality in Hindu scriptures. Last time I checked they were a major religion.

They only refer to the anatomy of the condition and not to the genetic aspect, and hermaphroditism is otherwise used to describe animals whose normal condition is to have two sexes at some point during their life cycles, something which doesn't apply to humans and does not apply to the intersexed as they are in an overwhelming amount of "cases" of neither sex; not two sexes at the same time or one sex at some time and the other later.

Also being compared to and called a term that applies to animals is pejorative.

A lot of societies condemned or looked down on the passive but not active partner in homosexual relationships. It was just misogyny. The passive partner was compared to a woman.
Lesbian relationships were usually ignored. Afterall, a woman was primarily a childbearer. As long as the paternity of children wasn't in question, who cared how she entertained herself.
Today our society still carries these prejudices. :headbang:

I wouldn't say Freud's stuff is bullshit. Well I think I remember there being some crazy bits in there, but a lot is quite reasonable.

Maybe Commando2 has a desire for anal sex that he wishes to repress? He doesn't like that aspect of himself, and he projects that feeling onto others.
