Of course you'll have a better time talking about gender with other gender enthusiasts. It's like complaining about how normies can't have a conversation with you about cars for as long as car enthusiasts could.

‘Gender enthusiasts’ is probably my second favorite euphemism for trans people now. The first being from an old lady who was trying to politely ask if a woman was trans and asked if she was “a woman by choice” 😂

Okay YouTube, this is my list of the TOP 10 genders of 2024! Tell me how many on this list you know about in the comments below. Leave a like and subscribe and let's get into it. I'll also be having a new video out soon about the best genders upcoming in 2025.

Genderfluid, gendergas, gendersolid, genderplasma

Undervolting, I've been told, can achieve similar, or sometimes better results, especially when paired with a less overclocked, but still higher gender clock speed...

For example: genderfluid, BUT only across the axis of gastrogenders. Agender also has potential, since in verbal conversation, it sounds dismissive, as if one is simply "a gender," implying the other party should just guess.

My gender is liquid cooled.

I rather like the sound of "a woman by choice", since it implies she is a woman, that it is a choice, and that the choice does apply. I'd be curious to hear opinions from trans people about that, but it seems very respectful.

You can replace the left one with "comms about the bridge with operating thetans" and the right one with " comms about the bridge with pre-clear wogs"

I personally feel like people are trying to make gender into something more like a personality type system, or certainly much more than it is. While the level of detail is interesting to some extent I guess, having it all under the umbrella of gender seems unfitting. Especially considering how many of them are plainly descriptions of sexualities, with no obvious reason to call then genders instead. It's also pretty clear that a majority of people don't think what these genders describe are at all reflective of reality, a lot of them are spiritual/religious.

The current set is a very strange construct, and it's obvious scrutiny is unwelcome with how ridiculous many of the listings are. Fluxstatic, for example: "...a combination of genderflux and genderstill; a more specific subset of genderflux that isn’t genderfluid. I.e. the label doesn't change or only changes along the agender to surgender line for that gender but the intensity does fluctuate."

Which is a blatantly insane way of trying to say "Sometimes you wear less girly clothes and don't wear makeup and act less stereotypically girly.", later using a battery analogy to try to explain their convoluted thought process. This overcomplicated label for something so simple is so broad it'd be difficult to find someone it wouldn't apply to. This label being defined like this does not educate anyone, and listing it on a wiki does nothing for anyone but the writer.

Now I guess I'm going to be banned for this bit of unwelcome scrutiny.

Not necessarily. A gender identity is different from gender expression. But yeah, trying to assign a name to every single gender is pretty insane and probably not even that helpful.
