The Gender Non-binary debate.
Discussion

You two are coming across as a bit 'special'.
Not really. I've just seen these threads go this way too many times. The debate gets done, facts have been stated, views have been exchanged, conclusions are often made, some people have even taken new information on board and modified their view. Then the sensible debate tends to peter out and the straw man arguments begin, until you're left with a couple of hard core posters who come up with ever more preposterous straw man arguments to try to "win" the unwillable. Then people get bored and start to be silly. We saw it so many times on the marriage equality threads - with the 'pro' people just sticking to "two people who love each other should be able to marry" and the 'anti' people coming up with ever more outrageous "what about..." scenarios. Oddly those included horses too.
I think I've said pretty much all that needs to be said on the subject, so I'll take my cute little 'special' self elsewhere in that case.

if someone isn't fluid bonded with her partner,
Dare I ask what that is?It's someone who does not have unprotected sex (yet, or at all).
Fluid bonded is when you're good with exchanging fluids - you know you're each clean/safe, and you're not having unprotected sex with anybody else.

What's with all the special terms? Jesus this is unnecessarily complicated.
New to you it may be, but unnecessarily complicated? It's a totally standard term with no particular relevance to trans*, queer or kinky people, if that helps.
I'll go for 'people that like to shag without the bag' next time, shall I?

Yup, what is it with all these 'special' words? Fluid bonded? Sounds like a bloody automatic transmission;.
I confess that I wasn't aware of the term, but having read up on it (only a simple google search away), it would seem that it's meant to convey a relationship where the couple have decided they are both STD-clear and they trust each other enough to let their guard down and have regular unprotected sex (ie. exchange bodily fluids) and have the trust & commitment to continue to do so (which I guess is where "bonded" comes from). As opposed to just having a bareback shag.
Of course you could just type that out in full each time. Or you could invent a phrase to convey it.

All communities use particular/technical terminology which is relevant to them - PH included - 'lepton' for example.
Exactly. WinstonWolf said:
Invent being the operative word... "ooh, there's not enough words to describe my situation because I'm so special". Grrr
I'm intrigued. When you talk to car guys do you say you have a Griff 500 or do you say a "TVR Griffith with the 5 litre Rover* V8 engine"? * - originally designed by Buick, then bought and developed by Rover, and then further developed in-house by TVR Power.

Nothing to do with being special. Just efficient communication within a group. Happens everywhere. I wouldn't go into the finance section and make out what a bunch of snowflakes they must be because they have invented a way of discussing finance which is not easy to understand unless you've been around it for a while.

Sex is sex.
Sex without a condom is sex
Sex with a condom is still sex.
Most normal people go "shall we stop using condoms now?" NOWHERE in my life, aside from here, have I came across the term "fluid-bonded".
Maybe they are shagging on a bed of pre-famulated amulite.....

Good grief, WW, do all neologisms (ish) upset you this much?
It must be a bit stressful watching the tide get closer to your sandcastle.
It's not a 'special groups' phrase, unless you think 'people who like to fk without protection' qualify as a special group…
'unprotected sex' seems to suffice for most people.It must be a bit stressful watching the tide get closer to your sandcastle.

Me neither, but I accept that people use it and that it is a term that is in use. I just shrugged, added it to my lexicon, and moved on. I wonder why you and WW can't do likewise, and instead have to have bhy little "look at me" moans about it. You two seem a bit 'special'.

What the hell is a lexicon? Again, pointless words. I assume you mean vocabulary.I wonder why you and WW can't do likewise, and instead have to have bhy little "look at me" moans about it. You two seem a bit 'special'.
It's not "in use", I wonder how many people use the "fluid-sharing" or whatever term. Probably <2% of the population, 75% of which are probably LBGT, TSFUEE, UUAL,SJS or whatever.
I'm sure WW is the same as me - perfectly open to other peoples choices and views but why create all these stupid meaningless phrases when perfectly good ones already exist?
The same for gender neutral advertising. ps off, stop trying to change the world when 85% of people are fully tolerant and supportive and the 15% that aren't, won't be in support of your stupid words and phrases anyway.
