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 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.

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.

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.

There’s ~8% correlation between astrological sign and personality.

So, you’re non-binary? Just like Trump?

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.

So, this is I 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 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? 🤔

The ability of conservatives everywhere to find something to be offended by truly inspires.

Given where it is in the thread, I think it’s supposed to be a reference to an ancient meme rather than that.
