Disabled toddlers are welcome everywhere.

[–] SuckMyWang 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Either that or the toilets are for disabled people and giants

*118 verified possible genders

[–] Agent641 16 points 6 months ago

Some believe in a possible island of gender stability above 180.

Not including exotic ~~atoms~~ genders like positronium

I wanna pre-emptively name one that hasn't been discovered yet "bolognium."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

But a lot vanish before they are observed.

Yes, but some genders can only exist in strict laboratory settings and often for only a very brief moment.

Aside, I like the implication that when things get hot and melty, though, folks end up being gender fluid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but it's the gender gas and gender plasma you really have to watch out for!

The most interesting behaviour happens at the gender triple point. And don't get me started on Bose-Einstein condengender!

[–] NONE_dc 28 points 6 months ago

There are only two genders: ferrous or non-ferrous.

Why not “Ma” for “male”? Why is the women’s bathroom the “female bathroom” and the men’s is just “man” or “men” or whatever??

[–] grue 19 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why not “Ma” for “male”?

Because then it's the restroom for your mom.

[–] VindictiveJudge 13 points 6 months ago

Good point. It would have to be much larger.

Men and Femen

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe it isnt in an english speaking country, and makes sense in another language?

[–] GoddessOfGouda 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Good point. It’s weird how Fe is so close to the English word Female tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Might be because of Latin root...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Triangles are masculine, obviously.

Iron Man

Iron -> Fe

Man -> Male

ergo, Iron Man -> Fe Male

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Why didn't they just use tungsten instead of iron?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I've never seen the English word for "manganese" and thought it was some "manga" pun, like anime.

It's kind of silly, too. The German word is even closer ("Mangan"), but I never realized the similarity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

This looks extremely familiar... do all universities do this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

did the men and females community make it over to lemmy yet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imagine the conspiracy theories if they use the first letters of each sex "Fe" "Ma"

[–] naun 2 points 6 months ago

They wind up with a humanitarian aid camp.
