There is no "third" gender. There's male, there's female, and then there's hermaphrodites, who usually identify with whichever gender they're closest to.
Given this post as well as all the others where you've mentioned aliens, I think you have a very skewed perception of what an alien actually is and I think you'd benefit from thinking of them as "life forms" since that's what they are/would be.
well I don't believe aliens exist nor they look like anything. I cannot stress how much I do not believe in something so much. I cannot believe they do simply because I have not seen one. That is good enouhg for me. I do not understand why the shoud either because for somehting to exist it must serve a purpose. They have no reason for them to exist simply because I cannot see what their role would be. teh question I always ask myself is this: why am I here? or why do I exist? I know the answer therefore I am. The aliens is not here to say where it si or what the role it is achieving therefore they do not exist. I am happy with my conclusions. Of course you are allowed to think the way you see fit.
'alien' is not a 'gender' or 'sexual form' cacian... if you mean 'extraterrestrials' then i suppose we can assume that if such exist, there may indeed be some gender/sexual form that we can't even conceive of, but the word 'alien' alone does not and cannot be a gender in itself, as there could be many different species of 'alien' and we have no way of telling if they are gendered or, if so, what their gender/s and sexual makeup might be... in species here on earth, as cruci noted, there are 2 basically different genders/sexes, male and female... hermaphrodites have the sexual dna and organs of both... and there are also 'asexual' animal life forms, as well... such as the amoeba, that merely divides to reproduce and has no sexual assignment at all... but there is no 'third sex' as you seem to be referring to and envisioning it...
... For someone who doesn't believe in them, you sure love bringing them into conversations. Now, look. Humans are extraterrestrials. We're not alien to Earth; we're native to Earth. But from the point of view of any non-Earth species, we're aliens. Also, our one purpose is to fuck and create more humans. It's what's embedded in our DNA and we listen to that, so if you consider that a valid purpose, go for it. Either way, it's the same principle as being foreign. People from Germany or China or Russia, to me, are foreigners. To them, I'm the foreigner. In fact, "alien" means the same thing as foreigner. Again, to any other extraterrestrial, we are the aliens. To us, they are the aliens. Whether they exist or not doesn't matter, but I think you need to stop thinking of aliens as though they all look like Kodos and Kang from the Simpsons, since I'm pretty sure that's the kind of thing you're imagining.
Cacian, I have sometimes heard the term "magical thinking", in terms of human thought. One of the aspects of magical thinking is that a person believes that what they _want_ to be true, is true. For example, imagine that a young child accidentally breaks a vase. You ask him if he broke the vase, and he says no. And he doesn't fully understand that he's lying when he says no. In his mind, he didn't _intend_ to break the vase, and he wishes that he hadn't broken the vase, so he declares that he didn't break the vase, and he believes that this declaration will actually control reality - that by declaring and firmly believing that he didn't break the vase, he will make that belief true. But the child is wrong. _He still broke the vase_. And his belief that he did not break the vase is a dysfunctional belief. It is likely to prevent him from apologizing for breaking it, and thus will be bad for his relationship with the adult whose vase it is. It may prevent him from trying to learn from the experience of breaking the vase - if he refuses to believe that he broke it, he won't work on learning how to be more careful next time. So believing that your beliefs will change reality is not a productive way of thinking. You may believe that aliens don't exist because you've seen no evidence of them, or because scientists that you trust don't believe in them, or for all sorts of other reasons. Those things are based on objective reality, not magical thinking. Other people may disagree, but you are nevertheless disagreeing on evidence about objective reality. But saying that they don't exist because you, personally, don't see how they would be useful, is essentially magical thinking. Aliens exist or they don't exist, but your belief and your preference as to whether or not they exist, is not going to change the fact of their existence or nonexistence. Things that exist, exist, no matter how you think about them. Imagine that you don't like apples, and you wish that they did not exist, and you don't see any use for them. Even if you don't see any use for them, they nevertheless _exist_. Similarly, even if you believe that a given dictionary word means X, if that word nevertheless means Y to the majority of people who use it, then for all intents and purposes, it means Y. I'm seeing you engaging in a lot of magical thinking on these forums. I think that you need to understand that very, _very_ few adults believe in magical thinking, or have any patience for magical thinking. Very few adults think that their beliefs, and their preferences as to how they'd like the universe to be, will actually transform the universe. Most adults believe that if a thing is true, it is true, whether or not they _want_ it to be true. When you make arguments based on magical thinking, you _will annoy people_. I think that even if you are going to continue to hold beliefs based on magical thinking, you would do better on these forums to recognize what those beliefs are based on, and to understand that your magical-thinking-based arguments are going to cause conflict when you express them in the forums.

sad, but true, cacian... i hope you will read cf's well-meant words carefully and enough times to be able to understand what he is saying... if you have a therapist, or a counselor of any kind, or even just a good friend whose command of english is much better than your own, i hope you'll show them this post and ask to have it explained, if you don't understand it... love and extra hugs, maia
Dear mamma I understand perfectetly unfortunately I am entitled my opinions in the same way that CK is entitle theirs.
Sorry I am not sure what you are on but please believe what you may. I do not believe in magic either. Just let's leave it at that. Try not to convert me is all I am asking. A debate is not about who is right and who is wrong. A debate is about is different ideas and how people think and express themselves You are obviously having massive issues with the way I see things. You need to learn to accept differences and different personality if you are going to be a writer. The world is not about similarities and let's believe in the same things. The world is about differences and different opinions views feelings and so on.. I jave not a problem with your ideas and the way you see thing so please don't make my ideas your problems especially fi you are going to go on magic because that is when you have truly lost me.
No, Cacian, you don't understand. You know how I know you don't understand? See below. This is how I know you don't understand, and it's honestly just depressing that you don't realise that you've gone through more than a thousand posts, most of those being you unable to accept real definitions that we already have for things. Oh, I know. But then there are days where it's kind of just sad.
