Come on, the page would take about five minutes to load if they had to add all those other genders Tumblr thinks up.

@matsaki95 Not sure. I identify as a clothes peg, so while I'm good at hanging your washing up, I'm no good at counting or anything maths related really.

Thanks to the stack overflow survey I discovered there's something called genderqueerer:
"denoting or relating to a person who does not subscribe to conventional gender distinctions but identifies with neither, both, or a combination of male and female genders."
So, yeah, genders seem much more complicated than I thought -
Grumpy28878yUniversity of Michigan does away with the 100+ gender alternatives, and lets their students choose whatever gender pronoun they wish to be referred to as. One student chose "His Majesty". Excellent choice, IMHO.

I would go for a Welsh town name, just to see the professors struggle with the pronunciation. Anything with less than 8 syllables means that you didn't exploit the gender folly enough. -
kshep9232708yI filled out a survey recently where there were more gender choices than ethnicities. Weird. 😕

@matsaki95 Let's try that! I identify as a: the LVL and your mother.
Seems I identify as your mother. Don't forget me on mother's day! -
Error: Cannot assign lamba expression to function pointer. Prefer not to closure.

hell169548yI actually call these gender options bullshit.
If you have a penis but consider yourself a women, that's great, we can treat you like a women no question asked... Your choice.. But you still have a f ing penis... Hence male... And vice-versa.
The world looks like to scared to confront such simple things... Its not disrespect nor homofobic hate or anything... Its just as it is... You can't say your gender is a fucking tree and everyone give their thumbs up.
If someone has a valid point I'm really open to be completely wrong and say sorry too... -
Ok don't be shitty humans. Let's not turn devRant into Facebook. There are more than two genders, computers think in binary terms but we don't have to.

@azous I was in a minor car crash once. The guys in the ambulance asked me my name, date of birth, gender, what year it was, and the name of the Prime Minister. I'm not joking here, I assume it was to check if I was stunned or something.
Could you imagine how tricky that test would be today? -
hell169548y@bizzarist I see, you have a point , gender is linked to social identities based on sexual orientation, anyway 100 of it is some exaggeration 😂
-
@bizzarist Quite a difference between a physical thing, like Klinefelter syndrome which you mention as an example, and the imagined roll your own snowflake genders.
I saw one website refer to that syndrome as a "generic disorder". How dare you denigrate someone's gender identify by comparing it to a "generic disorder", you shitlord. I bet you voted for Trump too :)
