My lol brother bought home a questionnaire about how he thinks his gender is. These are his options:

BOY

GIRL

TOMBOY

FEMALE

MALE

YOUNG WOMAN

YOUNG MAN

TRANS-GIRL

GENDER FLUID

A-GENDER

ANDROGYNOUS

BI-GENDER

NON-BINARY

DEMI-BOY

DEMI-GIRL

GENDER QUEER

GENDER NON CONFORMING

TRI-GENDER

INTER-SEX

My brother is 12 and he put BOY

ALSO DO YOU THINK it's right to ask kids as young as 12 for this information?

I am not sure what you mean

[jamie_n5]

Yes I was born a boy and I identify as a male. I just see my sexuality as being gay.

This is better suited here.

Yep, I'm quite happy as a girl.

I'm a Young Man. I think that if
u ask a male or female 12 year
old what they r they would say
Boy or Girl. A majority of them
would consider that.

Ummm can I get a defination for all of those? I don't really know what they all mean. Like what is the dif between a boy and a male or a girl and a female

i guess i would say im more of a tomboy but is that a bad thing

I think it's perfectly normal and okay to consider yourself a tomboy.

Definitely agree with ska8er that most 12 year olds would answer boy/girl, but some might answer tomboy as well. Their experiences with gender identity at this age is not that much even in their minds.

I don't think it was right asking a 12 year old about that, especially because he probably doesn't know what half of those options were when he answered. However, BEING one of those options as a person is perfectly fine.
