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

??

So that's a good thing or bad thing?

ToeToToe · 28/03/2019 23:58

As a 40-something housewife/mum, can I identify back to the cool student I was back in the early 90s?

I had a lot more fun then, and did a lot less mopping up of children & pets.

You're just fine without a gender.
And there is a word, woman. It still means 'adult human female'. No-one has meaningfully redefined it.

BigChocFrenzy · 29/03/2019 00:00

As a zigbot, are you cousin to the Maybot, or has she been expelled from the bot species ?

BolloxtoGender · 29/03/2019 00:01

So the word you are looking for is woman (XX chromosomes).

Why do you need a gender at all? Anyway you have already said your gender is zigbot.

ToeToToe · 29/03/2019 00:06

You could be this, OP. Apparently this is not a parody.

I know. It looks like a parody.

Glinner has a great list of available genders on his Twitter stream. I'm really tempted by several.

WTF is "ambonese"? Ambos is "both" in Spanish.. aren't these just more yooneeq ways of saying that you're "genderfluid"?

ToeToToe · 29/03/2019 00:12

I don't know what ambonese is. I'm not ashamed to admit this.

But it is "synonymous with schrodigender". So everyday's a school day. Clear? No, me neither.

Apparently Ambonese is a person from the Ambon islands in Indonesia

ToeToToe · 29/03/2019 00:16

You googled it, didn't you Eresh. Got a proper definition. Not a woke one.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 00:19

I did Grin well done!

Oh dear... cultural appropriation.

Tbh as a scientist, they can piss off appropriating a quantum mechanics thought experiment too.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 00:20

A person can have as many genders as they can conceive of, with culturally appropriative identities being the only exceptions (see point #8).

Awesome x post Grin

That's told 'em!

Oi Zigbot! Off to the naughty chair Grin

Zigbot is just boring... so 10 minutes ago.

Infinite genders is the way forward. Infinigender.

Ereshkigal · 29/03/2019 00:23

If I were a betting woman, I'd bet folding money that's on that list.

ToeToToe · 29/03/2019 00:24

I am infinite genders, or no gender at all.

Many genders, or none at all.

Don't try to define me.

Not on that list but...
