Title: Why does the Gender Census say "always, solely and completely"?
Subheading: Because we want to hear from everyone except these people in the middle. [Arrow pointing to the centre of the Venn diagram.]
Centre: Only 100% a [woman/man] all the time.
Circle 1: Always a [woman/man]. Partially a [woman/man] and something else, but all the time.
Circle 2: Completely a [woman/man]. Sometimes 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 3: Solely a [woman/man]. Sometimes partially a [woman/man], and never anything else.
Circle 1 and 2 overlap: Always 100% [woman/man], and something else as well.
Circle 2 and 3 overlap: 100% and only a [woman/man], but only sometimes.
Circle 3 and 1 overlap: Always and solely a [woman/man], but not completely.

When a city government wants an official app based on how people really get around.
We did that. We can do it again.

Last week: About 100 courses in #women's, gender & sexuality studies are slated to be removed from the core curriculum at the University of #Houston, as colleges around the state try to appease the extremist right-wing.

TIL that the common association of pink with female humans is relatively new. Right around WWII.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink#Gen…
It reminds me about how much emphasis we place on gender. It has little relevant function for most of what we associate with it. And, still, society’s gender labeling is a cause for so much suffering.
All of those “it’s a boy!” and “it’s a girl!” parties could simply be “it’s a baby!”
Hat tip to @hyde about the reflection, sparked by his post:

Invisible Women, Data Bias in a World Designed For Men
by Caroline Criso Perez
paraphrasing:
...so much data fails to take into account gender...and women pay tremendous costs for this insidious bias, in time, money, and often wtth their lives"

Are we doing pronouns wrong?
Telling someone your preferred pronouns and having that respected can be validating, but it also gives away a little power. It's giving the gender Nazis an easy way to be mean.
What about modifying the first person pronoun? As a nonbinary person I am quite happy "I" is not gendered, but if you want to assert your gender, maybe using "Im/Ir/Ix" (or whatever) might be more useful. Instead of a once-and-done pronoun intro, you use the first person pronoun almost every other sentence. You are not depending on other people to adopt language.
Secondly, in addition to wildly gendering "I", why not normalize they/them for everyone. This takes away the linguistic platform for misgendering microagressions.
For me, gender has always been unwelcome and problematic. My apologies if I have not captured the nuances of pronoun usage from other perspectives. It is certainly not my intention to cause offence or invalidate any identity.
We went from 30,000 to 50,000 so fast that I didn't have a chance to make the 40,000 pic!

Donna Haraway, philosopher: ‘We live in a pro-natalist, anti-child world. Babies should be rare and precious’
One of the most influential thinkers on technology and feminism, she combines vision with irony, and her writing carries a distinctly punk edge.Carmen Pérez-Lanzac (EL PAÍS English)
Out today from Andrew Joseph Pegoda: We say that people should be able to form their own opinions. This right to form one’s own opinion should extend to a student’s opinion that studying #gender and sexuality, variables that impact everyone, is worth their investment. texasobserver.org/university-o…

I am sometimes a bit slow to learn stuff, and today I learned that I could change my gender marker at any time if I want to (🇫🇮). And that it of course changes your social security number..and if you do that, you need to get new ID, re-do ALL of your medical prescriptions, and contact every relevant government entity to make sure they know you are the same person.
So, if I change it to the other wrong marker (as enby) it would result to a ton of work...

"I have always believed I was a cis woman married to a cis man. With the help of NZ First, I’ve come to see that gender can be fluid and means different things to different people."

Am I still a woman? NZ First has me confused as all hell

Thoughts I shared with a friend via text:
I don't think any of us is 100% anything. There are always gonna be people who are exceptions to some of the rules all of the time, some of the rules some of the time, all of the rules some of the time, etc.
That's what makes the demand for straight and binary so ridiculous. No human is entirely one thing, no matter the aspect of humanity is in question.
That's all. As you were. ☺️✌️🤘🖖
