Meowgender

[PotteringPondering]

Catgender: 'where someone feels that the closest way to describe their gender identity is by making the equation to a cat in particular, cats in general, or by comparing their gender identity to certain cat-like features.'

I found out today there is a range of subtypes, including

Meowgender: 'people who feel strongly connected to older and/or full-grown cats. Meowgender people have various reasons for relating to older cats, such as personality, behaviour, or aesthetics.'

Presumably the subtypes share an impulse to disrupt events held by cisfelines (those born as cats), and demand equal access to litter trays.

What are the pronouns? I may feel the need to use them at work if pronouns become mandated rather than just encouraged.

Just tried telling my 14 year old cat i was meowgender

He's given me a good talking to and i can now inform you that i am nothing but an adult human female who is supposed to be getting him his tea and not pratting around on the internet

That's me told then!

Well this is incredibly useful information. I mean how can I know I'm not catgender if I wasn't even aware catgender existed? So I went looking...

* "*One who identifies as catgender may use nya/nyan or mew/purr pronouns. The people who identifies as catgender can use any cat related pronouns."

"Similar terms include: Catboy, Catgirl, nyan-binary, or a personal term for self-description."

My 4 year old likes to pretend to be 'teddy kitty' 😱is this a warning sign he's on the path to being meowgender!?

wasn't catwomen one of batman's sidekicks? Who knew an american seventies tv kids show was prophetic?

Thanks for the pronouns.

At that age, I'd say more likely to be Mewgender, 'those who feel a strong connection with younger felines and/or kittens.'

Yeah, I'm definitely something feline gender (though I'll have to give a little more thought to the meowgender vs cat gender distinction).

Did you know that over 40% of domestic cat (felis catus) sleep more than 18 hours a day? Also, I've always wanted to curl up in a ball and fall asleep wherever I currently happen to be.

Not to mention the "getting away with hissing and scratching people because they pass me the fuck off!"

I very strongly identify with all of the above.

*piss

As I was posting on another thread, you can identify as all sorts of cats!

catspacegender
catpacigender
dawncatgender
robotcatgender
cattherian
anglicatic
analogcatic
Catkin
catthing
idolcatgender
orangecatgender

and so on. The sky’s the limit, really… (not if you are dawncatgender though I suppose 🤣)

What about those of us who are dog people?

Damnit, @nightwakingmoon, you're not making my choice any easier. Which is, obviously, not helping my impression of you!

Now feed me tuna or consider yourself hissed at!

Ooh, wonder if I dare use one of those as my pronoun sign-off next semester?

I told my cat I identify as meowgender. The look on his face suggest I'm not going to "pass" so now I've been triggered by his refusal to validate my feelings.

Rude.

I've always said I identify as a cat - I like to sleep and eat. I'd love to pop into several houses and eat their food. Now they can't stop me because transcats are cats and they would be bigots if they denied my authentic self.

I will do it later, it's nap time again.

Slothgender for me. Pronouns: zzzzz.

I feel a bit idolcatgebder today.

Can they lick their own arse? 🤣

I’ve looked into my crystal ball.
The future is catastrophic.

I have no idea whether this thread is a joke or not and I’m too exhausted to Google.

Learning about graysexuality the other day was confusing enough…

Are there 50 shades of it?

That explains this then

Nyan-binary 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They HAVE to be fucking with us now. This absolutely cannot be serious.

My DS (now 15) used to regularly dress as a sheep at weekends after I made him a sheep costume for a play in Y2.

He is not baaa-sexual 😉

I've always secretly identified as part cat. Made my first meaningful attachment to a cat and they've been precious to me ever since. Nursery used to complain to my mother about me constantly pretending to be a cat. I can't pass a random cat without curiosity and delight.

I'm a female cat purrrrson though so I'll stick with she/her.

Meow!
