@RumPartov Who invented boolean algebra?
@chaomodus and Gaius Claudius Octonion
@dzuk just TIL'd that boolean was named after a dude called Boole. So I'm trying to convince zir that integer numbers are named after Hans Integer.

re: nonbinary
@RadiantEmber I agree, I feel like there's a lot of "uncover who you really are" narratives in the trans and queer communities, and a lot of essentialism. Like, there's an inner core hidden man/woman/enby inside you and you must find it.
Instead of simply "If I assert myself as X, and if I'm affirmed as such by others, it will work and make me happy".
re: nonbinary
@monsterblue Yeah, totally. I'm just approaching this in the context of helping someone figure out if they're nonbinary (which I think is the original context of the question).
It's the simplest correct answer for me to say "I'm nonbinary because I assert I am nonbinary", but it doesn't help people who question their own gender identity.
Maybe rephrasing the question as "Should I assert that I'm nonbinary?" would be more helpful, because it doesn't presuppose gender essentialism?
re: nonbinary
Some people say "I don't feel male or female", but I don't even understand what it means to "feel male/female". I have even asked (when I was first exploring gender in my late teens) and no one could give me a satisfactory answer. Is there some gender->feeling synaesthesia I'm not privy to?
I could understand genders as roles or performances or styles or aesthetics, but that interpretation is problematic, and especially with some nonbinary identities doesn't simplify anything.
nonbinary
I just saw in my recommended videos: "How to know if you're Non Binary"
It's made by a nonbinary person and ofc their experience is valid.
But my brain is in overdrive trying to answer that question myself, or even to understand the question.
I don't know how to meaningfully describe how I know if I'm nonbinary. "Gender doesn't make sense to me and it's simpler if I don't attribute it to myself" feels like a cop-out because it's an appeal to parsimony.
@fraggle or (!x ^ !y) or (x ? !y : y), probably the latter being least hacky/clever
