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

I'm identifying as Procrastinatorgender

My pronouns are Woulda' Coulda' & Shoulda'

Deliriumoftheendless · 29/03/2019 06:46

GeordieGenes shouldn’t your chromosomes be YI?

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.

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.

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 07:04

Mumsnets gender is definitely YYYYYYFFSYYYYYYYYY

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 07:06

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

Mine is similar Hmm

Sometimes it's 🙄

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..

BlueAndWhiteTunica · 29/03/2019 08:34

And are "valid."

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.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 29/03/2019 09:38

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.

GeordieGenes · 29/03/2019 09:59

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

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

BolloxtoGender · 29/03/2019 10:27

And a zigbot is what again please?

I mean apart from ‘ zigbot means zigbot’.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/03/2019 10:30

A zigbot is anyone that identifies as a zigbot

And possibly, anyone who doesn't strongly feel they're not a zigbot.

HTH.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 29/03/2019 10:40

I also identify as a zigbot. However it is a little known fact that all zigbots share a third of a gene with the aunt's sister's hamster's fourth cousin's grandma of a dolphin, if you twist the microscope sideways and squint a bit.

So zigbots are dolphins. I shall be attending all zoos in easy reach of my crowdfunded taxi to exercise my right to swim with my family. The trainers have been warned that any attempt to say this will frighten or harm or negatively affect the dolphins is zigbotphobic and those dolphins just need to get over their social prejudices that dolphins don't have two legs, two arms, no tail and an ego that you have to turn sideways to get through a door As I don't eat fish, obviously not all dolphins eat fish. So the dolphin diet in all zoos will now need to include chocolate at all times.

Gene fetishist! How very dare you!

Knicknackpaddyflak · 29/03/2019 10:47

That's a very last Tuesday old fashioned, out of date perception of genes.

Some genes are lollipops. Some are January. Many like to holiday in Barcelona. No kink shaming please.

BolloxtoGender · 29/03/2019 11:11

So how can I tell if someone is a zigbot just by looking?

JellySlice · 29/03/2019 11:17

But I told you! Because mustard!

BolloxtoGender · 29/03/2019 11:20

Expand ‘because mustard’ please.

SomeDyke · 29/03/2019 11:39

"synonymous with schrodigender"

I don't think people have got the concept of Schrodigender quite right -- surely, with a nod to quantum theory, the correct interpretation should be that how dare you observe me, because that will collapse the wavefunction of my gender identity into one of the two (boring) options (male or female in boring ole language), rather than the exciting quantum superposition of male and female, neither and both at the same time, that I am fondly imagining myself to be?

And those really making an effort should bring in Kurt Godel and his incompleteness theorems (""On Formally Undecidable Propositions gender in Principia Mathematica and Related Systems I"),...plus Godel always comes along when others try to appropriate quantum theory to back-up their favorite nutcase bit of pseudo-science.

Is all the gin gone?

Zigbot · 29/03/2019 21:08

Oh, me too.

Pass the blue hair dye.
