I am the Yellow Jar
I got to enjoy a journal about various topics today, and was reminded of the time when I discovered exactly how I felt about myself.
It started with a hello and a Jar. We were talking about gender in one of those group thingies of learning. We went through various
amounts of blue and pink paper filling this jar as we talked about various genders and such (not just 100% and 50/50 might I add> 30/70 etc).
Then the topic of gender came up of "Not be either". The lady with the jar emptied the jar, she looked at us for a little bit, then filled
the jar up with yellow paper instead. It wasn't a jar that was empty, but a jar full of yellow paper, and that is exactly how I felt.
I am a Jar filled with yellow paper.
Side note: I imagined that it is a jar of lemons I just drew instead of sweet tarts like the blue and pink one. I'm sitting on lemons in my mind. How uncomfortable XD
And also the conversation of how I think neutral pronouns are really Bleh to try to say out loud. XDD And They/Them is sill weird because its plural, but easier.

Gender norms tend to stem from the phenotypical differences between the sexes Its obvious from a biological perspective that we are a sexually dimorphic species by some degree. This is in relation to monogamy and polygamy between a species. Between the sexes, males and females have reproductive priorities that ultimately are antagonistic towards the other. Monogomy is very helpful because on it makes sure there is a larger number of offspring as well as maintain a higher overall health care and lifespan of that offspring. However, it is not so advantageous that polygamy is superseded entirely. The more Polygamous a species is the higher the sexual dimorphism there is between the genders the more monogamous the species the more the genders seem similar. Looking at the human species we are indeed Sexual dimorphic yet not to such a degree that you couldn't mistake a female for a male or a male for a female in certain cases. I can only conclude that we overall are a slightly Monogamous species with a bit of polygamy.
There are many species where the gender norms are completely swapped the certain species of storks have the females creating harems of males as the males do all the child-rearing females will even break another storks eggs to steal her males. Another example would be ream monkeys where the males and Females look exactly alike well besides the lower bits. They're Far more monogamous than well humans are but there is really no Gender differences between them. Overall due to are somewhat middle degree of differences between males and females we are much more gender fluid than most species and much more than certain traditional cultures would like but we still have enough differences to have some gender rigidity here is fun little video you may enjoy on gender

*Spends forever looking up words to be able to understand everything properly. I feel like I'm in environmental science again reading that. XD
The journal is a general topic of various Intolerance, so it is about a lot of different topics. Not just this. Dunno if they'd like to share, but they seem like they want to discuss various topics and hear a bunch of people's different viewpoints on things. I'm mostly a person who likes to read what other write for these topics, but I commented because it brought up this memory.

That first one, Sir Narrator has an appealing voice to listen to.
Second one: HOLY poop I'm dying! XD
