brahn15747yOn a related note, would it be more acceptable to simply ask "are your bits dangly?" ?
(Please don't take this as an attempt at being offensive, I'm just feeling really old and unable to keep up with the valid options for this question anymore.) -
I identify as a Challenger 2 main battle tank and your Apache helicopter offends me.
-
It's kind of weird that EVERYONE here is thinking of *more* input options, while NO ONE seems to be thinking of the obvious solution:
No input.
Why does an application or service need to know what your genitals look like? -
hckmar2817yAnd it should be an option with the leyend: why do you want to know that? And an angry face
-
@JohnnyMuen finally someone with some decency, who has accommodated my personally identifiable gender of AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter.
-
DewWisp7397yWhat do the Twin Towers and genders have in common? There used to be 2, now they are a sensitive topic.
-
wizzzard8137yI see people calling out the lack of an X-axis, but where's the Z axis? Some genders go way deeper than others.
-
@wizzzard we need a way to display four dimensions on a 2 dimensional display.
Oh, I know:
Type in your gender:
(0-255)
x1:___
x2:___
x3:___
x4:___
I like vectors xD -

What if it's gender-fluid non-linear you offensive asshole? Real genders have branches.
-
@redundandundant as someone who sexually identifies as the Penguin, I am offended.
-
Showed this to a woman just for laughs. Slightly offended, she pointed out that "male" was shown on top. "just for once can you put the woman first", she said.
I suggested a spinning circle slider with proper naming instead. Think wheel of fortune with a stop button. -
@jackgreen The hand that's currently cradling my sweaty balls says otherwise.
I'd like to say that gender-specific behavior is a social construct. But testosterone from said balls tells me otherwise.
So I'll stick to the idea that preconception & discrimination are avoidable social constructs.
The deviants with half-penises, brains which dose up on seeing the same gender in the nude, or worship platonically, I fucking love you all.
As long as you use a dark editor theme. -
@Hazen by assuming the tone of your words, seems like the one feeling something about it is you.

Hazen4597y@redundandundant
When bullshit tries to undermine science it makes me angry, true. Science is evidencebased, there are penises and vaginas.. When you say there are more because you think youre an Apache attack helicopter, you make it based in feelings, not evidence -
@Hazen true that. But science also says that the genitalia don't necessarily define how do you feel like, how do you act like, how do wear like, how do you want others to address you, who are you attracted by, and so on. And I think that depending on the field, those "how"s give a much clearer insight about one's identity.
You may say the also age gives incomplete information about one, but AFAIK nobody has been beaten or killed because too young or too old. That's why it's important to move forward from the binary concept of gender identity. -
ultrono23587yHa, priceless :) it’ll still offend some though as they’ll feel limited by the options presented :/
We are in 2017! :)
