I thought the two genders were non-binary and binary?

Well analog is pretty much a spectrum, so not wrong!

[-] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 1 points 3 months ago

Analog and digital or nothing at all

Roadhouse: Swayze and anti-Swayze

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Only two genders: normies and weirdos

[-] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

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

Excuse me, in binary there are 10 genders.

[-] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

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)

If you're currently at a 0, is it possible to engender yourself up to 1?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It happened once from a cosmic ray during a Mario64 speed run.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago

Gender is binary. I'm 10110110

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

That's amazing! I'm 01001001. We should meet up.

I've never seen such an intolerant post. You're either old enough to rent ultra-porn, or you need a fake ID

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Why you want their to be only two genders, mate? You want to be around more men, issit?

[-] Laser@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago

I still love Biden's answer to the question how many genders there are

He probably didn't come up with it but it's still so funny to me

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago
[-] Jomega@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

"At least 3"

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Seems to me the number of genders depends on the culture. If your culture says there are only two genders, then there are two, in that culture. If your culture says there are more than two, then there are more than two, in that culture.

What? Are you implying gender is some sort of communal assemblage.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago

That it was constructed by society??

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 3 months ago

I dunno, sounds soulist

[-] radio@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

Even if they want to believe that there are only two genders that doesn't mean that someone can't transition from one to the other. Even under the rules they are so desperate to establish trans people still exist.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 3 months ago

The point is to carve away at our community piece by piece. They mostly lost the fight against binary trans people in public perception, so they've retreated to attacking nonbinary people. If they successfully turn public perception against us, they'll come for the binaries next.

I have an agender but I keep forgetting to check it

i took the hashtag away from the link. try again

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago

That's a hash character, or fragment identifier. A hashtag is a topic keyword introduced by a hash character, not the character itself.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. πŸ“‹ Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      SΓ­, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
