yeah, tumblr is great for making kids understand more about themselves, but I really don't think there is more to gender than being male or female. and i don't think it's horrible to say that either.
I think you are male or female, whether you're in the wrong body or not... A girl might feel like she's been born in the wrong body, fair enough, she's male... but really, that list Marsh posted, all these stupid different words for it, I just think it's so pointless and lets be real, it is never going to go anywhere. It's just going to stay on the internet.
And I don't think it's just tumblr that can help kids. I think it actually makes them a little delusional. Just my personal opinion though. I very much doubt it that in this day an age, a child (unless they live in places where gay people are legally allowed to be killed) doesn't ever get to hear that it's okay to be gay. It is literally everywhere. Google has never been easier to use and schools have to promote education about the lgbt world. Most people these days are okay with it. I mean yeah, you get the odd few crazy people who hate anything that isn't 'normal' but you get that with everything.
I just think all these different 'genders' are seriously stupid. Yes, they may have been doing studies about it for over 10 years, but really that means nothing. People study the most ridiculous thing to prove things which are irrelevant.
