There is no such thing as a TERF fungus

that’s a lot of pronouns

That’s when you go, “fuck it. Everyone’s a they. Deal with it.”

Fungus TERFs be like, “ThErE aRe OnLy 6561 gEnDeRs”

Maybe fungus should consider itself lucky that it doesn’t need bathrooms.

Real fungus doesn’t care about gender, only the WAAAAAAGH

Germans would be like “I can’t even talk about this fungus without analyzing a DNA sample first”.

Honestly, just doing that would not only solve certain issues, it would remove some unnecessary complexity from English. In most (maybe all?) Turkic languages we don’t have gendered pronouns, just one for “they” and nothing disastrous has happened yet.

It would take some adjustment, but I’d be all for it.

When you write in “Yes” next to sex on forms.

You mean you don’t now?

or “once a month”

I think you’re confused. It’s a form asking about sex, not how often you turn into a werewolf.

The polite way is to write “yes, please”.

23k sexes that’s fascinating, so I looked it up:
They have two sex genes, named A and B, each of these have have an allele (alternate form) called alpha and beta. So combined there are 4 unique spots in the gene to look at. A-alpha, A-beta, B-alpha, and B-beta. Each of these can have variations, with A-beta having 32 and the rest 9. 32 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 23328 unique sexes

So describing your sex would look something like A-alpha-1, A-beta-8, B-alpha-3, B-beta-5.

Fascinating, thank you for expanding on this!

Then throw gender into the mix if they had such a concept. Essentially incalculable.

You have sunk my battleship!

But we’re playing Connect Four!

If you could edit out my sex description from your comment, I’d really appreciate it, thanks.

Are you an aA-beta-8?

Easy just have a drop-down menu for each value that can change 😎

Stick it into a boolean

I was guessing it was “23k sexes found so far” but this makes sense.

Was curious as to the use of the prefix Schizo in the genus name and found this on a CDC website: ‘Schizophyllum is derived from “Schíza” meaning split because of the appearance of radial, centrally split, gill like folds’

Putting the fun in fungus…
