"Pronoun, verb, adjective, bi, pan, transgender... Why does the human race feel the need to categorise everything? So long as we can communicate and live together does it really matter about the categorisation of everything? Just a thought "We can't communicate unless we have categories. When I have a serious illness I want to communicate with someone who can treat me. If we don't have a category of people called "doctors" I'll never be able to do so. | |||

"For ease of identification. Imagine going in to a library and looking for a specific type of book, only to find that you had to look at every book on the shelf to find exactly what you were looking for." Yeah agreed, but it was more like the finer categorisations... So in a bookshop if wanting a book on people could it not come under that title, do we need to understand that our language is broken further into adverbs etc... So long as we can communicate | |||

"No not at all... It was an article on radio about breaking language into adverbs etc.. I ve travelled a lot of the world and always been able to communicate without knowing my adverbs from pronouns etc.. " It isn't necessary to be aware of what a category is called to use it but at some point it needs to have a name. If I'm meeting people socially I don't care what label they have apart from human but I will need to know more if I'm eventually going to be in a sexual situation. It's useful then to understand what straight, gay etc means | |||

"Hmmmm.. Meant in nicest way btw.. I m just having a smile because it would appear that many on this site and others seem a little confused with straight etc as I ve had some highly sexual converdations with some who are listed as straight but yes, I get your point... I ve just finished my book with time to kill so am twiddling my brain til I find another book "It is confusing these days. Some people with male bodies who want to have sex with women consider themselves to be lesbians because they have a "gender identity" of a woman. I can't be doing with that sort of philosophical idealism. | |||
