Gender Season?

I don't know about the rest of you GOIAOTs, but I'm identifying as FireFly Season 2!


Young people are now identifying as 'gender season' - meaning their gender changes with time of year: 'I feel more masculine in the summer!'​

Gen Zers have sometimes been accused of blowing with the wind when it comes to their sexuality.
But a growing number of young people are now actually identifying as 'gender season' - meaning their gender changes depending on the time of year.

Dee Whitnell, who identifies as nonbinary, explained the term on TikTok as 'an individual who explores their gender identity in relation to a season, or all the seasons.'

It could be that someone's gender expression is linked to just one season, such as being more masculine during winter.
Or that someone's gender identity and expression changes with each season: perhaps identifying as female in summer but male in fall.

'This isn't saying that seasons determine your gender identity or expression, however it can influence it,' Whitnell said in a video posted to her YouTube channel.

'I feel more masculine in the summertime, I wear more masculine clothing, I wear shorts, I normally have my hair up more and I just feel more boy,' they said.

'Whereas in the wintertime, for some reason, girl mode comes out and I'm loving skirts and dresses and having my hair down.'

Users were quick to question the concept. 'It's called wearing summer and winter clothes just like everyone!' one user commented.
'It's nonsense,' another said of the gender identity, also known as seasogender, gender season, or gendersian.

A separate TikTok even suggested pronouns relating to genderseason such as summer/summers/summerself and fall/falls/fallself.
'In summer and spring, I'm more feminine and a little bit androgynous and then fall, I'm pretty androgynous, and then winter is like androgynous or masculine,' another person on TikTok said.

'Genderseason' comes as part of a growing expansion of gender identities and sexual orientations, including 'ecosexuality', which is centered around the seductiveness of nature.

The term ‘ecosexual’ is the state of finding nature sexually appealing, whether that means feeling at one with nature’s ‘energy’ or physically caressing nature.

A sexual health coach on TikTok described ‘ecosexuality’ as an umbrella term for people who 'treat nature as a sensual partner.'

But stories such as the Toronto woman who embarked on an 'erotic' relationship with an oak tree and a clip on the British TV show Naked Attraction in which a cast member calls herself an ecosexual have garnered social media responses like 'Society is doomed' and 'Why aren’t people like this being locked up? Or getting treated?'

Draw your own conclusions.

Tim Scott and Fetterman completely lost on Sunday shows.

Meet the Press
Tim Scott refusing to answer simple two incredibly simple questions, just blew his shot at VP. Complete deer in headlights.
The questions were “Will you accept results of upcoming election?” And “Do you support a national abortion ban?” Just stammered and refused to answer anything. Embarrassing frankly.

Face the Nation
What do you get when you cross a stroke victim with faulty earpieces? Whatever the hell just happened with Fetterman. Holy hell. An 8 minute segment resulted with him answering one question about nothing important.

Session started with her asking about ACLU disagreeing with the antisemitism bill saying it attacks free speech. His response was “Yes. That’s right.” She was like “Uhhhh…so you agree that your own bill attacks free speech?” It was all over from there. The next 60 seconds was dead air with him saying he couldn’t hear her and her continuing to repeat the questions as if she didn’t hear him. Then it came back on. He mumbled something and she took it to break.

She was clearly flustered.
