I trust you are all doing awesome. There are so many thoughts in my head right now. I feel like sharing some of them with you.
Let's talk about Sex; The Gender and The Sexuality.
Now when we hear the word sex, our mind first run deep into sexual emotions. My interest here is not that, don't get me wrong, sexual emotions are ok and normal, but that's kind of private. So, I will stay out of it.
So let's talk about Sex; The biological statutory.
How would you describe Sex?
Now anybody can say, I have a male organ, so my sex is that of a male. You are not wrong, but I also want to tell you are not right.
It is possible to have a particular sex organ and not feel the same way with your body.
Before I continue, I would like talk about the different kind of Sex: biological statutory, that exist.
Male: This gender refers to those born with the male organ. And automatically they form and identify with the male gender.
Female: They are born and biologically inclined with female organs.
Intersexed or hermaphrodite: These set of people are biologically inclined with both male and female organ.
Now let's talk about Gender:
Gender is a feeling of how you perceive yourself based on the sex you carry. Accepting your gender simply means, convincing yourself based on your performance of feminine or masculine features or characteristics.
There are different types of Gender status:
Masculine Gender: These are people who are born with the male organ and are perceived as a man or boy, in response to their biological status
Feminine Gender: We call them females, woman, girl. They perceive themselves as female sex in response to their biological response.
Transgender: OK, here is my emphasis. I particularly have an interest in this. I will tell you why the interest later as you read down.
These are people who despite their biological status of what organ they carry, perceive themselves to be neither (male/female) gender, or both gender, or to be a gender other than what they are biological. Therefore transgender, is actually how you perceive yourself. You can be a man, and feel like you are a woman. This will cause you to behave and act like a woman.
I happen to fall in this category. You have a right to judge me, hate me or dislike me, but I have come to realize that in life, you are who you are. 90% of the time we don't choose who we are. Not embracing who we are, is what makes life uneasy for us. I am not homosexual or bisexual. My been transgender has to do with how i percieve myself and act.
Transexed: I will go easy and plain on this one, a transexed, is a transgender who perceived him/herself as another gender, and go the extra mile to change his/her sex to what they feel they are. This could be achieved by employing certain hormonal and surgical techniques to change both the sex and gender.
Now, Here is the big one!!! “The one many hide, the one many are judged for”.
Sexuality
I have no intentions to generate any form of argument here on this topic.
What is Sexuality?
Sexuality is a word used to describe sexual interests and preferences. It is who the person actually is, in terms of sexual preferences. In other words, your sexuality is who you are and not what you try to make people believe you are.
There are different types of sexual interest and preferences.
Many people are conversant with homosexual and bisexual. But sexual preferences vary with certain factors such as emotions and area of attraction.
So, let's talk about different Sexual Attraction;
•Androsexuality:Sexual attraction towards male or masculine gender.
•Asexual: Someone without sexual attraction at all.
•Gynosexual:Sexual attractions to females only.
•Metrosexual: A man who's attraction is to homosexuality/style.
•Graysexual: Have sexual feelings only on rare conditions. For example only when they are in love.
•Demisexual: Someone with sexual attraction tied to only strong emotions for another.
•Pansexual: One attracted to two different gender. This is more like a bisexual.
•Omisexual: Someone attracted to anyone irrespective of sex or gender
•Polysexual: Someone attracted to more than two gender.
•Sapiosexual: One with sexuallity attraction to intelligence.
I leave you to this question.
What's is your sexual attraction/preference?
Sometimes I ask myself, do we have to judge people for becoming what they really are and comfortable with? I will not expect you to agree with my opinion;
But I tell you, everyone has a right to be who they are, who they are comfortable to be. They should not be judged or bullied. Life is short and has a lot more to offer, but what makes life worth living is when you can be yourself, be happy, be free and still feel accepted in the society.
Feel free you share you sexuallity.
Thank you for stoping by.

Like seriously,there are still lot of things to learn. Learning never ends. The sexuality is plenty oh.. Let me check!!! My sexual attraction is sapiosexual. I don't know what content I will classify your topic self- Biology right???. Anyways, one shouldn't be judged for who he or she is. Of course, you can't try to please everyone at the same time. The best judge is the you.
@ceepee, you've just taught me different sexuality attraction and the one I belong to👏👏👏. What about you???

Learnt something new today, quite a unique topic @ceepee
I actually believe if someone is comfortable with a lifestyle you have no right to judge them.
E.g i only put on things am comfortable in and once am dressed and im comfortable other people's opinion doesn't really matter and i expect that respect to be accorded to me,but our society really doesn't see that.

Depends on the place where you are born, some have all the choices where they are, while some have the choices made for them. Sex/sexuality is still a sort of taboo subject in Nigeria. Everyone is doing it, but no one talks about it, just like an open secret. My sexuality is like most Nigerian parent, only open to be discussed on a wedding night :)

Lolz....This is a very strange post @ceepee, due to the nature of the topic.
But then, to answer your quiz...
I would definitely say gynosexual, based on the options, although the word doesn't sound as fluid as saying straight or heterosexual
Well, i'm as straight as a rule. I guess that's simple enough.
Nice post btw

Pansexual is a well known term and it is not about gender attractions at all! I must doubt the other words you defined but I will resort to the urban dictionary.

Very interesting topic. Based on this, I have multiple sexual attraction. But does it really matter? People should live the way they want their life or sexual orientation to be for as long as it is not disturbing other people's lives personally. People seem to be spending so much of their time with finding out sexual attraction , gender and other things that don't matter that much. Is that like some kind of finding a purpose in their life? Or is that the only purpose of their life. Stop proving yourself to other people whenever they have a wrong identification about your gender or sexuality. People will always judge anybody based on what they believe is wrong.

Unfortunately, you can't stop that. There are too many assholes in the world.
Further, the political climate is to make it criminal for me to interact with anybody.
About your sexuality or if your gender is not what you appear, I really do not care or even want to know about, unless I am trying to get intimate with you.
If I am not a close friend, this information is superfluous to my life and a waste of brain space. So, since our language has a male and female genders, those will be used when referring to people.
Of course, you can try to change the language. It only has thousands of years of usage going for it. But, if I am legally required to use the correct pronoun, then either I will stop talking to people, or just not care right up to the point they try to lock me up.

This is an excellent, honest and accurate description of the wide spectrum and attraction that is sexuality. I myself identify as male and female and am Pansexual. I have been a part of the Trans community in London for over a decade and discovered my real sexuality after years of being hetero after a chance liaison with someone Trans. The turmoil I went through coming to terms was long and hideous, something that cost me a relationship due to narrow mindedness and time due to sever depression. Embracing your true feelings and having others embrace them is the most wonderful feeling. I wish you all the very best on your journey
