The human imagination is limited

[The Lone Assassin]

Right, to prove my point I will ask you this:

What if there was a naturally occouring third human gender?
What would their role in society be? (Would they be dominant over the other genders)
How would they contribute to the reproduction of the human race? (They have to be part of the reproduction process)
And what stereotypes would they have? (Colours, clothes, personality...)

I'll give you time to think...

Hard isn't it? Tell me what you think.

to further prove your point:

how would you explain the color red to a blind person
or
try to invent a new color

[Stronk Serb]

How do you explain a color? How do you know if we see all the colors the same. For example yellow how I imagined it is blue how you imagined it but we both call it yellow.?

[fairmaiden]

What if there was a naturally occouring third human gender?: That would be cool.
What would their role in society be? (Would they be dominant over the other genders) : They could do anything they'd want to do, they'd be a mix of both.
How would they contribute to the reproduction of the human race? (They have to be part of the reproduction process); they'd be able to reproduce just like other humans and they'd be born with either a vagina or a penis...
And what stereotypes would they have? (Colours, clothes, personality...) Unisex clothing I guess?

[Jason The Great]

There's nothing that human aren't capable of achieving , even imaginations. It's not limited but it's quite hard. third gender would be outstanding!

[the main man]

They would be equal to everyone else, they would have to be present and productive in the reproductive process otherwise nature would have killed them and they would be bland and straight forward beings.

[Saint of Sinners]

What if there was a naturally occouring third human gender?

What about it? If that was the case it wouldn't be weird and would just be perfectly ordinary and, well, boring.

What would their role in society be? (Would they be dominant over the other genders)

You know what? I bet they would be wizards. But seriously though, they would be equal. Like all genders should be.
How would they contribute to the reproduction of the human race? (They have to be part of the reproduction process)

Well, that would require a change in biology of existing males and females no? Maybe they'd provide 1/3 of the chromosomes in a fantastic threesome. Or They'll be wizards and bless kids with magic powers. That'll work too.
And what stereotypes would they have? (Colours, clothes, personality...) serious, dull, silent, foreboding.

See, it isn't that hard:P. For the record, the difficulty of describing a colour has to do with the limitations of language and not the imagination.

But you're right. The human imagination is limited. But the borders are slightly bigger than you might think. For example, the new colour thing dirtyboxer55 said works. Or try imagining nothing at all. not even whiteness or darkness. Or for the matter, living in a 2d infinitely flat world.

P.s. Svarog, evolutionary biology says that we see red, green, blue and yellow the same, however shades of other more obscure colours differ slightly, especially between males and females( females see them more vividly)

how about... explaining the letter z without using examples of other letters or saying it

I have two for you, right here.

Well technically there is a third one, rare, but it exists, some people have been born as hermaphrodites.
And with how things are now, they can take up either a male, female, or in-between role depending on their preference, you could dress as a male, a female, or maybe something that says "Hey look! I don't confine to your gender binaries" it depends on who you are and how you want to look in society.

Reproduction? Either impregnate a girl, or if your body is capable of pregnancy and medical officials OK it, you can become pregnant and give birth.

Stereotypes? they always are perceived to have over-developed gentalia, are doomed to die virgins, and/or are just cross dressers who take hormones.

I'll even come up with something more original for this second one.

Neutral Gender

They are often stereotyped to be found as extrerme-look-alikes who can't even give birth and are usually runway models, however you could work any job at all and alot of other nuetrally gendered people do it too and often loo.

they blend in and are usually invisible in society, and surprisingly can reproduce asexually, with sex cells being similar to plant spores. And birth for someone neurtrally gendered is very similar to conception in Women.

Neutrally gendered, often stereotyped to be found as extrme-look-alikes who can't even give birth and are usually runway models since they are able to expose more skin than other people, meaning we may have a problem with clothes beginning to "expose too much skin" on those who are male, female, or hermaphrodites. But however you could work any job at all.

You can impregnate yourself, meaning asexual reproduction, or, despite popular belief, have sex with eithe any gender to fertilize spores that grow inside a womb-like space in your abdomin. your body will grow breasts during pregnancy and you give birth like any normal woman/girl would, except your child would be brought into the world through a stretchy orifice in the place a woman's vagina would be, although it's not a vagina, or even the usual sex organs of other genders.

He wanted proof, I gave it to him, but I do admit I went too far with it, I have a thing for detail, and I let it get out of hand.

The human imagination is not limited at all. If you really believe that then you haven't been alive. Since I was born technology has skyrocketed and so many things that never existed before, now exist, all created by the human imagination.

Your premise above is not a good example of the limits of imagination. You imposed your own limitations above therefore poisoning the well if you will. Who says a third gender has to be dominant or submissive? What if they reproduced through asexual methods? Some animals have both male and female parts that allows them to reproduce without a partner.

I think their stereotype would be anything... I'll call them "gendies" it's a kind of slur derived from the term "gender neutral beings" or GNB's. They look like normal humans only they have no outward signs of gender. They look both male and female. In some cases they get mistaken for Atlantians.

What if Aliens really built the Pyramids and the Egyptians really just took all the credit for their own benefit.

It's hard because there's no such thing; however we can imagine something like this, because we can take other things we do know and mix them together. This is what imagionation is.

It's also why I think "think of a colour that's not a combination of any other colours" is a better example.
