Relevant and accurate. I’m none of these things.
Well, there is a statistical association between being born with a penis and being physically strong, although obviously it doesn’t apply to everyone. The power tool things is just a total invention of society though.
My peen make it easier for me to build muscle mass! Which I don’t take advantage of so instead I am just hairy everywhere except the part of my head that would look fashionable with hair. Can I just trade those things for being good at power tools instead?
yeah comparing that to astrology is a bit much. i get it, you can’t know for sure what gender a person is going to be, but it’s still likely to coincide with their sex, mostly through societal factors anyway.
That’s not a comparison, it’s an equation. A comparison identifies a difference. An equation asserts similarity.
I think you mean it’s a metaphor. An equation is a mathematical thing and doesn’t make sense in discourse, unless you mean equivalents but that also doesn’t make sense in the context.
Equations exist in discourse. Watch, I’ll make an equation, which is to say I’ll equate two things:
Childish Gambino is Donald Glover.
Boom. That’s an equation. I equated Childish Gambino with Donald Glover. I didn’t compare them, because I didn’t say they’re different. I said they’re the same, which is equating them.
i think everyone should enjoy power tools, both penised and non-penised individuals.
When you think about it, a sewing machine is a power tool of sorts.
It absolutely is. It’s a reciprocating needle used to bind separate pieces of cloth together.
power tool things is just a total invention of society
Which is why I don’t understand people who need to change themselves physically to conform to society’s expectations.
They have been told all their lives “you are expected to behave this way! The way you want to behave is only acceptable for them!” It’s not really that surprising.
If we could purge the sexist tropes from society that would probably do wonders for gender dysphoria.I wonder how much is dysphoria and how much is dysmorphia.
I don’t think I care much about what’s in my pants, but I do care that other people want me to act a certain way because of that.
That’s the excuse I use we’re not going to the gym.
i too am nonbinary
Right, much like how astrologists will tell you there’s an association between being born under [astrological sign] and having [personality trait]. It doesn’t apply to everyone…
All identity is a societal invention. That’s the purpose of identity, it’s for other people’s perspectives and what they think. It’s irrelevant otherwise, because what else needs to identify your gender? A dog? A stone? The clouds? And why gender of all things?
I’m a man. Apart from the basics, like a penis, I couldn’t really tell you what “feeling like a man” actually is. Everything beyond the biological category is just made up stereotypes and don’t serve any actual purpose. But for some people, they live by societal stereotypes, so if they don’t like them, they will change their identity to fit into new ones. It’s not at all necessary, but that’s the power of worrying how others see you and why identities exist.
But at the end of the day, we’re all just brains animating a corpse. So go wear a dress! They’re comfy! More “men” should; they’re missing out.
So, you’re non-binary? Just like Trump?

My gender is Hunter2
What sort of gender is *******?
So,
this isI have a dumb joke and need to explain far too much for it to be funny, but don’t think that would stop me:In German, we do this thing where nouns for jobs have gender, so a male teacher is a “Lehrer” and a female teacher is a “Lehrerin”.
Now, if you want to refer to any teacher independent of gender, traditionally you used the male form.
This was found to bias people to more readily employ men, worsening gender inequality. So, we started writing things as “Lehrer/in” to show that both genders are meant.Then several more genders got released, so to show that non-binaries are also included, we came up with the Gendersternchen™: Lehrer*in
It’s the
cousin of Rumpelstilzchen“gender asterisk” and very popular with the conservatives, I can assure you.Anyways, the dumb joke is that therefore ******* is the gender that’s so fluid, they had to just make it a bunch of Gendersternchen. 🙃
i need a whole lemmy community of non-English language jokes highly explained to me in translation please
Anyways, the dumb joke is that therefore ******* is the gender that’s so fluid, they had to just make it a bunch of Gendersternchen
I admire the dedication of providing all the context for this joke, and it’s amazing.
But does that imply not only the gender is fluid, but also the profession? 🤔
not only the gender is fluid, but also the profession?
Gig economy contract work
It’s the
cousin of Rumpelstilzchen“gender asterisk” and very popular with the conservatives, I can assure you.The ability of conservatives everywhere to find something to be offended by truly inspires.
Oh yeah, you have no idea. They’re crying out that their free speech is being taken away, because supposedly they’re forced to use the Gendersternchen. And they do that, while they are enacting laws to prohibit government institutions (including schools and such) to use gendered language. It is so ridiculously dumb.
Given where it is in the thread, I think it’s supposed to be a reference to an ancient meme rather than that.
Yeah, I completely glossed over the hunter2 joke, and rather just wanted to make my own joke.
one * is enough for an all gender glob
lehrer.*in
this would be regular expression not glob tho
i think Gendersternchen is closer to globbing than to regex
Brilliant, I love it.
All the better for your explanation!
I would have guessed https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hunter2
Oh, right, I didn’t even acknowledge the hunter2 joke. I just wanted to make a joke of my own.
Orc@ for me
I keep all my genders and related information in KeePronounXC, which stores my pronouns in an encrypted format locally. It also lets me generate new, complex genders so I can use a unique one per relationship.
As long as you’re following the 3-2-1 rule, I see no problem with storing your genders locally.
my pronouns have a public key to allow others to recognize me consistently but also a private key that reflects a deep understanding of the factors that generate that public key
For extra security you should also be Genderfluid for every relationship that supports it. Either by using Time-based One Time Pronouns or even more secure with a Hardware Token using the WebGendn Protocol to authenticate via Public-Private-Gender-Encryption.
I prefer a gender-phrase, a complex sequence of words that’s easier to remember and more secure than a single gender-word.
For example, contrast “female” with “do all the guys you know wear dresses and makeup like this?”
“do all the guys you know wear dresses and makeup like this”
Femboy erasure :(
Just use a pronoun manager. That also makes it easier to use a different one for each domain
My pronouns are “I” and “me”. I should probably get that changed.
Yes, I think I should.
That’s like, the most commonly used.
Brb, I’m just stealing your identity before you get round to changing that.
There’s the sort of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
I’m not a cis man but a “c!s m4n”
Maybe you should remove the space to be compatible with places that don’t allow them in genders and could even swap letters to make dictionary attacks harder. c!ms4n.
This post reminds me of those “attack helicopter” jokes from 2016, except this time it’s actually funny and not hurtful
#hum4n
Where should I hide my pr0n? Dm-crypt? The safety passphrase is BSDjailMeDaddy.
