A zigbot is anyone that identifies as a zigbot. You just know you're one.

AMA Smile

Your being a zigbot doesn't erode the rights of people with any existing protected characteristic, so I'm very happy for you.

Zigbots are zigbots. Smile

I’ve always known I’m a zigbot. The doctors assigned me “female” at birth, but I’ve always known that I’m different. Smile

Well, I don't really feel I AM a zigbot, however I don't strongly feel I am not one which is apparently the same as feeling you are one.

BolloxtoGender · 29/03/2019 08:54

But let’s be clear, Zi has a meaningless existence.

This is the result of trying too had to be special.

BlueAndWhiteTunica · 29/03/2019 08:34

And are "valid."

HorsewithnoRhymeOrReason · 29/03/2019 08:21

Zigbot being a subtype of gender is therefore also meaningless. Therefore you have no meaning.

But have no fear, you definitely exist..

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 08:05

Mine is similar Hmm

Sometimes it's 🙄

I was thinking of all the genders that may identify with this marvellous flag; might be better for diversity if they made a nappy wearing version too

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 07:04

Mumsnets gender is definitely YYYYYYFFSYYYYYYYYY

NotTerfNorCis · 29/03/2019 06:53

I am notterfgender. Anyone who calls me a t*rf is denying my gender identity and needs investigating by the police.

JellySlice · 29/03/2019 06:49

'Schrodigender' - perfect! The ambiguity is resolved as soon as the individual is observed.

We should use that description for all AWA TRAs.

As for me, I'm clearly zigbot. Because mustard.

Deliriumoftheendless · 29/03/2019 06:46

GeordieGenes shouldn’t your chromosomes be YI?

barelove · 29/03/2019 01:14

I'm identifying as Procrastinatorgender

My pronouns are Woulda' Coulda' & Shoulda'

I belong to a group where the Committee rules have just been re-written. We used to have two members' reps, one of which had to be female and one male. We now have two reps "who must identify as different gender identities".

I am now safe in the knowledge that just because the women's rep position is filled, I could still put myself forward! I like the sound of "anongender" which is when you and others don't know what your gender is. Luckily I'm still happy to use she/her as my pronouns. Grin

In fairness, the club is lovely, and this has been written to be kind and let everybody fit in and not be uncomfortable. I'm not entirely sure they realise quite how many gender identities there are though... I would never actually take advantage of the absolutely enormous loophole they've created.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 29/03/2019 01:05

Sorry Errol I didn't notice that

ErrolTheDragon · 29/03/2019 01:00

I quite like this one

I tell you what, it's a good thing that horizontal stripes are generally considered unflattering, else we could be signalling goodness knows what genders with colourful t-shirts.

BlueAndWhiteTunica · 29/03/2019 00:55

Toygender Hmm

ToeToToe · 29/03/2019 00:43

*No doubt it's white colonialism or something.

Female skeletons - so regressive.

Bloody biology, just existing like that.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/03/2019 00:42

I linked re Hines upthread.

Absolutepowercorrupts

Indeed I was! Poor old Sally Hines.

Sally Hines thinks female skeletons didn't even exist before the Renaissance.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 00:39

It's quite simple really.

XY chromosomes= take your pick. You can be whatever gender you like.

XX chromosomes= please await further instructions. No debate.

By your reference to the skeleton you must have seen same the Twitter thread that I did.
That person is a lunatic but there was some great responses.
