Me: "Excuse me?"
Co-worker: "You made the gender variable a boolean"
I... But... Okay...

Lmfao you can't take these people seriously. There's just something wrong up there

LMFAO that's hilarious. Use an enum i guess...

here's a head start: http://genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/...

😂

Is this for real?

Easily fixed.

public enum Gender { MALE, FEMALE, COWORKER }

(Using enums is a good idea anyway, even if you only support the 2 standard genders. I'm fairly certain that the number of people out there who identify as True or False is fairly low)

Ask for sex (eyooo) instead. It gets the result you want and people with a sex change can answer fine too.

@mzgaljic The gender list over there is worse than I could imagine. I can understand a few "unusual" genders but that list is the result of a bunch of RPG players putting together random shit.

@nickpapoutsis I know it's horrifying. It's like we need a glossary to actually understand someone's gender now 😂

1 for the rod. 0 for the hole.

Truly awful posting here. Respect gender signifiers, don't be cucks about it.

@meow Yeah, you must respect my Demi-smoke gender I just came up with.

This is exactly why the "Other Gender" people are being laughed at.

"Demi-smoke (term coined by @cotton-blossom-jellyfish): A transcendental, spiritual gender roughly drifting to other genders that are unable to be foreseen and understood, shrouded in darkness within your inner visual. Elevating through mystery. Caused by a lack of inner interpretation and dark emotional states. Tied to Demi-Vapor."

I'm all for respecting how people identify. It's a valid concern. I really mean that!

But when people come up with 50+ different genders it becomes a little hard to not laugh. What's next, will someone identify as a cyborg? Will every website and app need to be updated to accommodate the 1 person that now identifies as a cyborg?

Anyway this is a sensitive topic, my intent is not to offend anyone, just mentioning my 2 cents. :)

I identify as the embodiment of code, also known as code-kin. @dfox where is my profile gender? Stop oppressing me!
