A lack of information could make people sometimes ask or make stupid, crazy, and annoying questions or remarks. And when this happens, we feel like – Aarrgh! Wish I could just squeeze life out of this bozo! But the truth is that, sometimes you cannot blame these people; their ignorance comes from a lack of complete information.
In Nigeria today, many people use certain inappropriate and offensive words and languages when referring to members of the LGBT Community; even some members of the community commit the same offense. Well, this episode will correct the use of certain terms and attempt to answer the question, “Are you a Man or Woman?” This question that has been asked by many over and over again, sometimes due to a person’s gender expressions.

Hello Max, thanks a lot, you can always go to my blog http://www.nostringspodcast.wordpress.com to see which ones you have missed!
Ok
I understand the podcast is short (only 10 minutes), but I actually expected you to deconstruct gender and ideas of gender in depth. You kind of brushed through some of the “characteristics” of the topic (cross-dressing etc) and then hit us with conclusions – “You don’t get to tell a person how to be…” Well, that’s not convincing for the man on the street.
Then the part about a person’s gender expression not being an indication of their sexual orientation…was a tad unnecessary and too much to take on; the subject of gender is broad and confusing enough.
Well done, though. I really appreciate your work.
A person’s Sexual orientation is different from a person’s sexual identity, this means that a person could be biologically male and a homosexual, but identify as a woman, or identify as both male and female (queer). You are right about me brushing issues, I do not want people complaining about data issues.. And I still insist it is so necessary for people to stop expecting people to be what they want, you do not have such right over another person’s life, I think its a good sounding if you ask me. Also I did not say that gender expressions cannot be used as a way to ASSUME a persons sexual orientation, but rather it shouldn’t be used as a factor to CONCLUDE. However thanks for your input, I appreciate, and that was only my opinion.
Nice one Mike Daemon, please keep it up!
