What is nonbinary?

[Kfox]

While it's tragic when problems of gender arise at birth, it happens, sadly to say.

What are some of these problems of gender that arise at birth?

 

[Kfox]

My understanding is that they’re synonyms. Merely with increased nuance (or maybe outcome?) determining the specific terminology
But it’s been a while since biology class lol

Again; adaption is an effort to improve due to environment; mutation is random.

Well, no not really. Adaption over time due to shift in environment leads to the selection of the best fitting mutation. The driver is the replication of the fittest genes.

You might want to look at this discussion of what is called intersex at birth:

What does intersex look like at birth? The answer is more complicated than you may think — but the question itself may be the wrong one to ask.

Diamonds are kept higher because we now have the technology to manufacture diamonds, we don't have to wait for the natural process. Before they were expensive because the natural process is rare

You just might want to research this a bit.

How about if you research it and tell me where I've gone wrong.

Yeah I don’t know. That sounds like you’re giving a personality to random mutation, as my teacher would say
The environment causes the adaptions that are not beneficial to “die out” over time. But adaptions are not sentient. They don’t know anything. Mutations are what causes adaptions to begin with and like you said, totally random. If it is something neutral or beneficial the chances of it surviving are higher. That’s all.

At least that’s how it was always explained to me. Even in nature documentaries

I don't care what traits someone has, a man with Femanine traits is still a man.
A duck once grew up with a pack of Dogs, the Duck thought he was a Dog.
Was he a Dog, no he was just completely ignorant.

Okay, look at it this way. That duck you mentioned; did it have a gender? Because chances are, it only had a sex.

Put in simple terms:
A dog is a dog and a duck is a duck.
Most dogs and ducks are of one sex (although let’s not exclude the odd exception).
Nor dogs or ducks have gender. Gender is a social construction; it’s in our collective heads.

And the persons foremost to blame are the parents yet their culpability doesn't ever seem to be addressed when this topic comes up. Children aren't taking themselves to these story hours. And if they are being exposed to anything inappropriate, it is the fault of the parents as much as the organizers.

As with any event for any reason, any person or group can plan any event they want but it won't take place if no one shows up. Parents choose to take their children to these events while those who don't want their children in attendance make sure they're not.

Good point. Well, at least the parent of the 6 year old that brought a gun to school and shot his teacher was arrested. Sorry, charged with child neglect. Mother of 6-year-old student who shot teacher charged with child neglect | CNN
Interestingly enough, it was in the Mosaic Law that parents must teach their children what is and what is not acceptable to God. They didn't always do that, otherwise it would not have been a fragmented society as it was anyway.

Animals have biological gender, but they do not have the social concept of gender.

Gendered behaviors have been observed in some other animals.

The morally uptight are often the worst at expecting the world to cater to it's lack of being a parent and as they expect others to give in and do as they want because throwing a collosal tantrum is somehow easier than monitoring their own children and changing the channel and not taking them to things.

In case you weren't aware, social constructs don't really exist in animals that don't have abstract social concepts.

Animals have biological gender, but they do not have the social concept of gender. They don't use gendered terminology, they don't wear gendered clothing, they don't have social expectations based on gender. Their roles and functions are largely determined by biology. Humans aren't. For us, gender informs a much, MUCH wider spectrum of behaviours and expectations that are almost all completely divorced from biology.

Regardless, ducks are female from what I have learned, and male ducks are called drakes. THEY don't use gender terminology, we humans do.

what do you mean that most dogs and ducks are of one sex? then you say don't exclude the odd exception? (what?)

Correct. We apply gender terminology to them. We categorize them by biological gender.

Ducks and drakes do not think like humans. Maybe it's a blessing for them.

It's hypocrisy and selective regarding parental rights. Personally, I agree parents should have as much, if not more, say on what their children are exposed to and when but that also requires personal accountability in parenting - which they shirk when it's evident the parents are at fault on a matter. Finger-pointing and playing victims is easier than owning responsibility and calling out others in your own community.

Fair enough; I'm not an expert on Diamonds; perhaps that is a bad example. My point is, there are some things that rarely happens, when they do, it is not considered a normal occurrence.
