We have made the distinction for even gods. Aradhnarishwar, the strongest force acc to Hindu mythology, says that both, feminine and masculine energy together are unstoppable. Yin and Yang, feminine and masculinity are a part of each other, you cant separate one from the other.

I am sorry if i said something wrong.

U r right 👍🏼 Shiv and shakti is an example too where they are one. Der r many instances in mythology like Madhu n all pointed out here.

I have a question about genderqueer and non-binary people. Are they the same? If not, how are they different? I did some reading on the internet but it has only left me more confused.

Also, how does a non-binary person define their sexual orientation? Is it similar to trans people, wherein gender identity is used as the basis? Since they don't identify with the gender binary, how does this work?

Here's some info from google, for clarity.

Non-Binary individuals don’t feel like one gender or the other. Gender for them is more “fluid” than we’ve traditionally thought it to be. Non-binary gender identity is simply one term that may be used to describe individuals who may experience a gender identity that is neither exclusively male or exclusively female or is in between or even beyond both genders. Non-binary individuals may also identify as gender-fluid, which is a person who does not necessarily identify themselves as having a fixed gender.

Gender-fluid people are people whose gender changes over time. A gender-fluid person might identify as a woman one day and a man the next.

They might also identify as agender, bigender, or another nonbinary identity.

Some gender-fluid people feel that the changes in their identity are extreme, while others might feel that they’re arbitrary.

Their gender might change quickly — in a matter of hours — or slowly, over months or even years.

When they realize their gender identity has changed, they might or might not change their gender expression — how they dress and present themselves, for example — and their pronouns.

For many gender-fluid people, it’s an internal shift they might not want to express outwardly.

Is it the same thing as being genderqueer?

Not exactly.

While a gender-fluid person’s gender changes over time, a genderqueer person’s gender might not.

There’s a little controversy when it comes to the definition of genderqueer. Generally, genderqueer people don’t identify exclusively as male or female, or their experiences of gender are “queer” — that is, not conforming to the mainstream.

That said, you can be both genderqueer and gender-fluid.

What about being nonbinary — is that the same as being gender-fluid?

No. Most people do classify gender-fluid people as being nonbinary, and many gender-fluid people feel that they fall under the banner of “nonbinary.”

However, many nonbinary people don’t feel like their gender changes over time, and thus, those people aren’t gender-fluid.

Along with gender-fluid, nonbinary people might be one or more of the following:

agender

bigender

pangender

androgynous

neutrois

demigender

Bear in mind that this isn’t a complete list. There are hundreds of words out there that people can use to describe their gender. Those are just some of the most commonly used terms.

Nonbinary is both a gender identity and a catch-all term to describe gender identities other than strictly man or woman. While there are many types of nonbinary gender, some are more commonly discussed than others. These include:

• Agender: Having no specific gender identity or having a gender identity that is neutral or undefined. Sometimes used interchangeably with genderless and neutrois.
• Bigender: Having two distinct gender identities, either simultaneously or alternatively.
• Genderfluid: Moving between two or more gender identities.
• Genderqueer: A catch-all term for individuals with nonbinary gender identities. Some people identify with it as their main identity. The term includes a slur, so make sure an individual explicitly identifies with it before tacking it onto them.
• Nonbinary: The umbrella term covering all gender identities outside the gender binary. Individuals can and do identify with nonbinary as their specific identity. Also referred to as nb or enby, though both of these terms are contentious. As nb also means non-Black, some Black cisgender and nonbinary people are uncomfortable with it as a shortened term for nonbinary. Many nonbinary adults do not feel comfortable with enby because it sounds infantilizing.
• Two Spirit: A pan-tribal term created by and for indigenous Americans to describe a variety of genders with specific social and/or ceremonial roles. Many tribes have specific gender identities that are outside the binary, but Two Spirit is an umbrella term for all indigenous Americans that is sometimes adopted as a specific identity, like nonbinary is for settler and immigrant Americans.

I'll answer the sexual orientation in another post.

Thanks for all the shared knowledge on this subject.

Religion and epics are the reflection of our past which carried it's every aspect to the present.

Q: Also, how does a non-binary person define their sexual orientation? Is it similar to trans people, wherein gender identity is used as the basis? Since they don't identify with the gender binary, how does this work?

A: Sexual orientation and gender are separate concepts. This is something that is relatively easily understood within the contexts of cisgender identities. But how does sexual orientation “work” for genderqueer or trans-identified peeps?

Genderqueer sexual orientation works just like cisgender sexual orientation works. People are attracted to certain kinds of people; attracted to certain expressions of masculinity and femininity; attracted to certain physical manifestations of sex and gender (breasts, and/or hair, and/or penises, and/or etc.); and attracted to certain self-identities of gender as they pertain to relationship and societal roles.

Attraction is something that comes from within. There are a lot of theories on what drives attraction – or where it comes from.

Sexual orientation does not depend on gender. If you suddenly became a different gender, you would still be attracted to the same people, or you would no longer be you. Now, this is smudgy, because one could argue that if you became a different gender you would likely have a different mix of hormones floating around inside your hat rack, but we’re not going to go there.

What’s important is that I’m suggesting that attraction – truly, absolutely, distilled and rinsed – is about the other, and not about the you (or, for all the grammar nerds, it’s about the object, not the subject).

Conventional terms to describe sexual orientation (hetero-, homo-, and bisexual) don’t work well outside of the cisgender world. Many have argued that I shouldn’t use those terms at all in my gender article because they aren’t inclusive of genderqueer folks. While that’s true, the conventional (and non-genderqueer-inclusive) terms are more accessible to people who are new to these concepts.

New terms for expressing sexual orientation

Androsexual/Androphilic: attracted to males, men, and/or masculinity

Gynesexual/Gynephilic: attracted to females, women, and/or femininity

Skoliosexual: attracted to genderqueer and transsexual people and expressions (people who aren’t identified as cisgender)

Pansexual: attracted to all people, regardless of biological sex, gender identity, or expression

Asexual/Nonsexual: no sexual attraction, but often romantic or spiritual attractions exist

https://www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2012/02/sexual-orientation-for-the-genderqueer/

Most (enbys n genderfluid/genderqueer) people also use the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, etc to define themselves. So it's a personal choice. There are a whole lot of other terminologies which are even more confusing do I'm not introducing it here, even I don't understand them all.

Thank you so much for all the information Neha!

I am grateful for all the knowledge this thread has given me
