Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The problem with this argument is that the anti-trans people will just say "our culture only has two" and that will be the end of their argument.
It's just a statement of fact. Some cultures only identify two genders. If you live in such a culture, and you disagree with that aspect of the culture, you have a few choices: try to change that aspect of the culture through advocacy, try to force change somehow, like by using state authority, or leave and join another culture that more closely aligns with your beliefs. I would probably at least try advocacy at first, but it can be a challenge. Some cultures are very resistant to change, especially on matters such as gender.
