Is it normal i think we should eliminate gender, and sexual reproduction?

Actually, you can't make babies gender-less at birth. You can only make them sexless :P

Sexuality and gender add a lot of colour and vibrancy to the experience of being a human being. If it's possible to get rid of discrimination without getting rid of sex and gender identity without getting rid of sexuality, surely we should? You could also get rid of racism by making everyone the same ethnicity, and religious conflict by ending freedom to religion, but I think personal freedom to be a unique individual is far too important.

Sexual violence and discrimination do not happen because we are different, sexual violence and discrimination happens because of the way we are socialized.

Who would want to live in your idea of a utopia? One where every aspect of a person's personality is prescribed?

Eurgh.

Also, I think you have an unrealistic idea of our current ability to manipulate genes. We can't just throw in certain desirable traits and take out undesirable traits - it's far more difficult than that at the moment.

Eliminating discrimination and teaching people from an early age not to commit sexual offenses seems like a better idea than stripping people of their personal freedom...

Just to clear this up for all the readers who assume this meant castration this would not be creating harm to anyone. It would be done gradually and just start introducing the artificial children and not simply going around removing the genitals that Anyone has now.

Charles Darwin disagrees with the OP. Sexual reproduction mixes genes within a species much faster than asexual reproduction does. Thusly, sexual species adapt to environmental changes much more quickly than asexual species.

My take? To be the fittest, you have to fuck. And, care for your offspring.

This is not the biggest issue facing society.

If you want people to cease the bickering, start by making that change yourself.

...the last genetic defect? Are you kidding me? Did you not take a biology class? Go on google and find tons of genetic diseases we cannot cure so far, so gender is the LAST genetic defect we have to worry about. It's not even a defect, gender is completely natural.

I am wondering what genetic defect made you. That was mean, sorry. Anyways. I think your view on the world is highly unrealistic and twisted and I feel sorry for you.

XX=girl
XY=boy

Anything outside those parameters is worrying and leads to defects. You can't simply make someone not a girl or boy. And you are customizing children from birth and forcing them to go into one profession for the rest of their lives? No thanks, I happen to enjoy sex and freedom. I am pretty sure society would be more intelligent without people like you. A+ on creativity though.

This whole tumblr and nonbinary thing is reaaaally getting out of control, isn't it...

Anyways, OP, I'll have to disagree. If it pleases you, then volunteer to take part in some experiment regarding this, but eh, I'll pass. I wouldn't want religion forced on my baby, just as I wouldn't want de-sexing them to be forced. Let people make their own decisions?

I don't agree with this. This is coming from someone born female but is male and female mentally. Yes GID Is a big issue now-a-days but taking away our sexual organs will not fix anything. Who knows you may have a child who feels like they are deformed because you took away their gender/sex. Not only that there are plenty of people TODAY who will fight this because sex plays a major role in todays world. -Actual sex not gender-

Not a bad idea. However, for right now I think that so long as we have children sexually, we should not assign them roles or genders, instead have them figure it out on their own, ya know?

wow, this post caused a really big discussion.

I actually love this idea, and feel the same way. Life would be sooooo much easier.

Genetic flaw? If we were all gender-less and lacking sexuality our species would cease to exist.

Here's my straightforward and admitedly resentful opinion. Your idea is not only absurd in that it lacks every aspect of humanity associated with living, but suggests a down right lack of mature, critical thinking. It's like saying, "To get rid of racism we have to genetically modify humans to not see in color". Whenever I hear these clowns go on about "abolishing gender" and the "LGBTQABCDEFG community being oppressed" I just wonder how we ever managed to raise a society full of a bunch of disrespectful pussy's.

It's real simple. There are 2, count em, TWO problems.
(1)Everyone these days is a little sensitive bitch who can't handle another persons criticism, opinion, or "hurtful" comments.
(2)Everyone these days is a disrespective swine with no appreciation for diversity in culture.

Having a penis, a vagina, being gay or straight isn't the issue here. It's the lack of respect for diversity. lack of respect for gays, straights, white, black, male, female, big, small, ect. ect. Diversity is what makes humanity, nature, and life so beautiful. You take away everyone's gender or sexuality and the whole world will become color blind. Which, to me, sounds like a pretty shitty world.

That is what homos want

Some people are getting way too angry at this. I think. It's not like OP is threatening to come find you in your sleep, erase your gender, and have you wake up the next day, with no sexual orientation. You can disagree with the idea, and I don't blame you. But there's worse things to be angry about. I wouldn't want people to be altered this way, either- though I can also relate to it as a fantasy. Sometimes I get uncomfortable with the fact that we're all either boys or girls- and gender roles that I can't change. The way people treat me differently, based on gender, whether I like it or not. Some things about it are embarrassing, other things uncomfortable. There's been times when I wondered why I have to either be a boy or a girl, and everyone else does too. I wouldn't want to *actually* take away something from a person that is part of their body or human nature, though. It's just a feeling that comes up, from time to time.

Who knows, maybe 10,000 years in the future, consenting adults will be able to turn themselves into androgyns- by their own choice, with advanced technology. They could live in colonies together, where everyone is an androgyn. (but wait until they are grown-ups to decide for themselves. Don't do that to babies) Everyone else can remain the way nature intended. It only seems like a fantasy, to me. I'm not OP.

This is cookoo bananas...

I think that is a terrible idea. I am very against genetically modifying humans. I remember a similar concept to this from a novel set in a dystopian future.
Maybe instead of punishing all of humanity for the bad actions of a few people, we should punish high level sex offenders with casteration, but don't condem everyone for it.
Also everyone thinks theyre discriminated against whether gay, black, autistic, fat, etc. maybe people should simply learn to be more tolerant instead. Who would want to live in a world where everyone is the same anyways? Sounds like a boring place to me.

Oh so for the actions of a few you want to penalise the rest of us.

What kind of sick freaking weirdo are you?

I like my fiance's penis, you can't take that away from me. I'll hurt some innocent puppy. I like puppies.
=<

Are you the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning?

Wouldn't that be punishing the victim though? When people are discriminated against because of gender or sex you don't take away their gender and sex, you punish the one actually doing the crime. I think gender has to much to do with identity to be taken away, and I don't think that it would be a good thing if people were to much alike.

No, not normal.

No.

Really? The BIGGEST problem? Not war or racism?

no one should judge anybody thats the point

I don't think gender is a problem per se, but it is socially beneficial to drive conversations to force people to reevaluate every so often. Hive mind is such a strong tendency that I am convinced individualism must always be valued, in order to keep the elbow room to put this tendency in check. It can be daunting. It can be tiresome. It is the only way to truly change or improve a culture. We just have to accept the work and stay strong.

I agree on the fact that this is one of the great problems of our time, but yet, this method goes in the other extreme, which really isn't a good thing.

This is the 2nd 0% story I have seen in IIN, the first one being one of my own.

Its called gender identity DISORDER for a reason. Gender roles will never change. Its been in our race for millions of years, and is present in animals too. Look at our chimpanzee and primate cousins.
