... are they for real or are people having a laugh here? It seems there's a xenogender for almost anything! Cakegender's my personal favourite.

I hate what has become of the community I used to be proud to be a member of. The early gay rights activists would turn in their damn graves at the notion of cakegender. It's an absolute travesty.

This has absolutely nothing, zero, zip, to do with gay rights.

It's so obviously a GC piss-take!!

It’s the flags that get me. A different flag for every new bit of crap they come up with.

Oh I’ve come up with a new iteration of this crap. I’m not outersystem gender I’m intergalactic gender. Quick open up paint any produce a new flag!

The irony of complaining that people are dreadful systematisers and exclusionists, yet every new gender needs to be nearly defined and categorised, related to other categories and identified with a particular flag.

Do you think they get angry that someone
used the wrong shade of brown for mudgender when they’ve already claimed it for chocolate chip cookie gender?

Pisses me off, they always forget the jam!

I'm going to be honest I read the opening post and before I had chance to scroll down I thought ooh I wonder if IcakethereforeIam has seen this.

And there you are first respondent

Can you literally smell someone just typing the word cake?

This has to be a spoof, right? Right?

I am so far past the point of being able to tell I don't even have words but generally speaking I like xenogenders. Playful and complicated. To be shared with friends rather than everyone. I don't think we're going to see people thinking 'cake people' should have their own loos. So like coming full circle back towards sex is important in some situations but people of all genders can get along with each other.

Hey, we can all add our own genders to the survey.

(I have no idea how secure/safe/private that would be, fwiw)

LK1972 · 25/07/2022 16:13

@FilePhoto that does sound boring, maybe I should consult my teenagers, flag-design ability must go down with age, which would explain a lot about the website itself!

I want to exclude all those who ever accepted an instant as a 'coffee', that'd tell them!

I do have things to say about so-called 'Teagender' - gives Birdsweepin a side eye - but am currently lost in Forestgender (https://www.lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Forestgender)

On an even more fun note, ive been informed by my Civil Service department's 'Gender Equality Network' newsletter that 6 July is the newly established 'Omnisexual Visibility' day in a Pride calendar. Gutted I missed it, but happy to know someone, somewhere in our Government, is spending my taxes to ensure full visibility for this marginalized group Smile

If you’re a TRA you will say this is all nonsense made up by GC feminists in order to ridicule the concepts of trans and non binary and “peak trans” more people.

If you’re GC you will say this simply points out how ridiculous and unnecessary the whole idea of gender identity is. People should be able to have whatever personality they want without having to call it a gender.

(Sex of course is a whole different matter and is biological).

Belovedfool · 25/07/2022 16:06

Jesus wept, I think its safe to say our brightest days as a species are well behind us.

Earl Grey, Lady Grey... Where's my non-binary, aristocratic, slightly lemony tea hey?

Omg, Earl Grey or Lady Grey - that's so rigid and binary and non-fluid, how do we know whether the aristocratic Grey identifies as a male or female - we could be constantly misgendering them. 😱
I propose a new posh title: Earlady Grey - and I am now identifying as Earladygender.

Are pancakes cakegender and if they are does this include the makeup? What about potatocake?

I found my tribe at last! Most important question: what will be our flag? Second most important question: who's not allowed to use our Coffeegender?

I guess it should be various shades of coffee, which is quite boring. Maybe the top stripe could look like frothy milk?

Obviously people who prefer tea can't use it.

I feel exceptionally happy when drinking decent coffee. Maybe that's my "gender" making itself known. Am I coffee gender?

Mind you KFC has the same effect.

One is reminded that children seek attention,
Adults seek respect.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/07/2022 14:37

Hearing the term 'cakegender', it sounds less warm, sweet and fluffy than something like, oh, maybe a Dundee cake. Dense and with extra nuttiness.

SeptimusWarrenSmith · 25/07/2022 14:32

Typical. Us Lapsangs are always disadvantaged. Cakeogenders really need to check their privilege.

MoltenLasagne · 25/07/2022 14:29

I could definitely be KFCgender, possibly FingerLickingGender or ColonelGender.

bellinisurge · 25/07/2022 14:19

Imagine them all at my age, mid fifties, trotting out this tedious nonsense. No one would give a shit or would think them a bit creepy for obsessing about it.

MrsJamin · 25/07/2022 14:10

I just wish they'd all just grow up!

IcakethereforeIam · 25/07/2022 13:58

If you're cakeflux, I'd suggest laying off the cake and getting some imodium inside you.

Sounds like it's from both ends, not sure which end made the wiki article.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 25/07/2022 13:51

The impression I'm getting here is that if A comes out with some bit of nonsense on Reddit or Twitter about gender, either for a bet or while high or experiencing a mental health crisis, B will carefully document it on that wiki as if it actually makes sense, and C will be denounced as a bigot if she pokes fun at it. Is that right?

Not a bigot. And evil exclusionist.
