Unisexual for Dummies
adjective
pronunciation: ,junɪ'sɛkʃuəlWhat does Unisexual really mean?
Hey there! I'm so glad you came to me for help. I'm here to explain the word "unisexual" to you in a way that is super easy to understand. So, let's dive right in!
Unisexual is a word we use to describe something that is related to or involves just one sex or gender. You know, when it comes to living things, like plants or animals, there are different ways that they can reproduce. Some plants and animals have both male and female parts, which means they can make babies on their own. We call them bisexual. But then there are some living things that can only make babies if they join up with another living thing of a different sex. And that's where unisexual comes in! It's like when you and a friend need to work together to finish a project, right? You can't do it alone, just like these living things can't make babies alone.
Now, another way we can think about unisexual is when it refers to humans. You already know that there are different genders, like boys and girls. So, for example, if I say that a certain school allows only boys or only girls to study there, we can say that the school is unisexual. It means they only have one gender, and that might be because they have certain rules or beliefs. It's similar to when you go to a birthday party and the invitation says it's only for girls or only for boys. So, when something is unisexual, it's like when it's specifically for one gender and not the other.
I hope that makes sense to you! Remember, unisexual just means something is related to one sex or gender, and it can be about plants, animals, or even humans. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, just let me know. I'm here to help, always!
