    gender is binary. Your gender is either 0 or 1

    since people have yet to associate numbers with gender expression , you can define the 2 genders however you want

      Perhaps gender is a quantum state and no one knows what or where it is until you measure it and its quantum state collapses

        That’s unironically a good way of thinking about it.

        One of my proudest achievements in life is having used particle-wave duality to explain non-binary gender to a bunch of cis-het physics-bros, and also using non-binary gender to explain quantum physics to queer folk. I’m disproportionately pleased with having been able to use this explanation successfully both ways.

        (I also think it says a lot about me that I have found myself in situations where it isn’t uncommon that I get an opportunity to attempt this. Explaining gender to passively bigoted cis-hets feels like it’s part of my ethical duty to the world, but menacing my friends with quantum physics monologues is just for fun)

          “A gender press is a gender press you can’t say it’s only a half”

            Since half an a-press is starting the level with it already pressed, I think staying your gender assigned at birth would be half a gender press.
