Xenogender categories...

[Tuilpmouse]

... 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.

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

Okay... 😳

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.

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

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).

@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

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

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

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.

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?

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?

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.

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

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

'Your gender may or may not smell and/or taste like cake too.'

What, the whole LGBTA+ wiki page is a GC piss-take?

Do you also think we have GC spies in Stonewall, who persuaded them to put out this appalling tweet on Friday? mobile.twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1550427949819695104?cxt=HHwWgMC47a-AnYQrAAAA

Schools in my area promote Kooth as an online tool for kids mental wellbeing and recently encouraged those over 11 to sign up. I had a quick look on the site and there is an article explaining various xenogenders including catgender and pyrogender. All just stated like facts.

There was also similar info on agender and neopronouns -

"I'm an Agender Neopronouns Lesbian. My pronouns are Bun/Bunself."

No wonder kids are so confused.

This is satire it has to be. Either that or tells have infiltrated the LGBTQ+ community and they're having a good laugh. Which frankly seems pretty easy.

I wish it was.

Hello @Boiledbeetle I surprise myself sometimes. Stuck in the house and bored, I've been all over MN like a rash. At least until my tablet ran out of charge.

I picked this name because of a lockdown challenge I set myself, never dreamed I'd be a gender.

Can't beat a slice of fruit cake.

Does the genderfeels you get when eating Jaffa cakes count as cakegender or biscuitgender? Or does it depend on what the Jaffa cake identifies as? I’m confused.

Oh they aren’t a pisstake, sadly. Youth social media sites like tumblr are full of this; they make them up by the minutes (“new gender just dropped!” is an actual Thing). You then get to make up a flag and pronouns and everything. 🙄

It just shows up the gender identity stuff fit the idiocy it is, since obviously none of these daft “xenogenders” has anything to do with “gender” in any meaningful way. You have to “respect” them, though, with a fully straight face (as it were), or else you’re a bigot spewing “terf rhetoric”.

Someone will be on the thread pretty soon to complain that we are all nasty mean bigots making fun of vulnerable trans people, and the thread will then be deleted as not “in the spirit of civil debate” like every other thread recently on xenogenders / catgender / spacecatgender / Neptunians / polyaroaces / otherkin / whatever.

I see. Just give it 5-10 years and they'll look back on this and cringe. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I found this one on tumblr just now:

“Amanjactest: one who overall rejects the idea of gender as they understand it is made up and they feel completely disconnected from it and deem it irrelevant. This is similar to pansexual as both mean being attracted to people regardless of gender. But pansexuals disregard gender due to lack of preference, and they can still be binary themselves. Many amanjactests completely separate themselves from the concept of gender and “don’t see it” and purely see people as those of different personalities and interests and ignore gender (while respecting gender identity of course, this sexuality is not an excuse to mispronoun people because you “don’t see gender”) Amanjactests also are out of the binary themselves, identifying as something along the lines of agender, a faunagender, a kingender, nothing or multiple. You can also lean towards one end of the binary and still use this term, but it is exclusive to those who are non-binary/gnc in one way or another. Amanjactests can also identify with other fluid sexualities and/or sexualities in the bisexual umbrella.

This identity is similar to genderpunk, but also incorporates sexuality. It’s essentially a combination of genderpunk and pansexual, but a bit more complex.

There isn’t a flag yet but I’m working on it!”

Sigh. So near, and yet so far. 🤦‍♀️

I'm entirely prepared to use whichever pronoun Jaffa cake chooses, before I gobble them up, as they are entirely delicious
