@lizardsquid Gender is a riot, a cacophony, a holiday jumble sale, a thicket of ferocious dust bunnies and feral lost socks.

gender is a series of tubes, it's not like a big truck

@lizardsquid There is a reason I never say "gender is a spectrum".

The reason is simple. Spectrum—to anyone other than the equivocator—is a word that has only one meaning: an ordered, sequential continuum or range.

There is no way to hear the word spectrum and not think of a series of things in a line—in the continuous manner of the real number line.

Attempts to retcon the term to encompass non-assignable genders fail, because the term itself is simply inadequate.

Hey guys what's your PERsona like a human version of yourself mine doesn't have soft fur all over their body and doesn't have a tail and they don't have cute paws and GOSH DAMMIT THIS IS BORING WHATS THE POINT

"dude" is not gender neutral

you don't have to "play guess the gender" if you only take a second to ask the person or read their bio

if you disagree please feel free to go eat your own shoe
