Ok this is soooo random and I have no idea why I was thinking about this while I was eating FREAKIN DINNER. But I was just thinking, "What if someone was nonsexual?"
I mean think about it. If you ever see a guy that doesn't like girls or doesn't think a hot girl is hot or whatever then someone is gonna whisper "I bet he's gay." to you. BUT what if he's not? What if he's not gay OR straight? What if he just hates everyone the same no matter what gender they are? Is it even possible for a person not to produce estrogen OR testosterone?
And that got me thinking "What if someone had no gender?" What the hell would they look like!? And they'd have no way of naturally (and maybe not even UNnaturally) reproducing.
So what would happen to that nonsexual, no-gender person if some scientist thought "Ok this person has some pretty awesome traits that the human race should preserve"? The person can't reproduce so how the hell are you supposed to preserve those traits?
We're talking about genetic engineering in bio now and the ethical issues that's prohibiting human cloning and all that. I personally think it's WRONG! But the only way you could preserve the traits of this weird nongender person is if you genetically get the DNA from the person and make a test tube baby right? I mean, there's no other way. So what would happen then?
Would the world just let this freakish person live the rest of their lives and just let them die when it's time for them to go? Would they make them exercise and eat right and give them a swarming team of bodyguards so they can live longer? Or would they do the unnatural thing, go where man is NOT supposed to FREAKING GO and make a bunch of clones of that person?
I don't know... I also don't know why I'm talking about this because I'm pretty sure that a person without a gender will never be born...
And what would be the pronoun for that person anyway? You can't say "he" because it's not a guy and you can't say "she" because it's not a girl. And I've been using "they" and "them" and "their" in this post, but that wouldn't be right either because those words are plural. I feel a random post about grammar coming on but I shall refrain from wasting my time on that now and save it for another day.
Yes. I was thinking about this during dinner. No, I don't know why.

I dunno about the lack of genitalia, but a person who doesn't like either chicks or dudes could technically be referred to as asexual.
Hm. Interesting, but people like that are born (neither male nor female) and their parents get to pick their gender.
They attach boobs onto females and dicks onto guys. They also give the kid shots of estrogen/testosterone.
Saw it on house, I forget what its called, but yeah, it happens.
Ok you know something?
House isn't always right. It's a TV show and while it may have a lot of truth, not everything on it is right.
And even if it does happen, we should not use the word "dicks" to refer to male genitalia. It is crude and unprofessional...
I said we SHOULD not. But that doesn't mean we aren't... :)
Your face is crude and unprofessional.
Bam.
My face is the spitting image of Aphrodite.
Yours is more like Hephaestus though. BURN!
Mine's just plain sexy.
It's ok to dream. We all need something to live for.
Yes i am def. sure that people are born like that. In anatomy class we watched a video of this girl. During her college years she found out that SHE was a half MAN. yea. Women have the XX chromosomes. Well she had XY chromosomes which is what a male would have. BUT her Y chromosomes did not kick in during birth so she is still a female but she is part man. So she is not able to reproduce and she has some male features. It was very interesting.
Eww I feel sorry for her.
But that's not what I'm talking about though. She has a gender...or two genders. But what if somebody had NO gender?
i do not think that is possible. i guess i say that because that has never happned before....but it may be possible
well it's just a 'what if?' question
I think if you were born without an X or a Y chromosome, you'd not live. As in, not develop at all.
