pcbway has the best gender option
@whitequark i should add a gender selector to wafrn registration but would be words like "wisdom", "electricity", "ham and cheese sandwich" and wouldn't do anything at all

@gabboman @whitequark

Also "e-male" and "FILE_NOT_FOUND".

@gabboman @whitequark The place I shop for ink has the options "Male", "Female" and "Hello" (as German tends to use "Mr X", "Mrs X" thus "Hello" makes sense in a twisted logic kind of way)

@whitequark I sexually identify as a clandestine operative, I’ve changed my legal name to the statistically average name for a person of my age, and I’ve started dressing in a way that affirms my need to be the gray person in a crowd.

Hopefully in the future, when I’ve saved up enough money from REDACTED i can have fingerprint removal surgery and facial generification surgery. Hopefully then I can find a serious handler to conduct operations with.

@cafkafk I legitimately do not know if this is a joke
@whitequark (I did actually pick my name based on statistic fwiw, at some point I thought being stealth and just fitting in was like what was the most important to me)
@cafkafk _see this is exactly what i was thinking about_
@whitequark why do they need this info in the first place?
@icantcode management likes collecting irrelevant statistics because it makes them feel more in control, i think

@whitequark Fallen London:

"May we ask whether you're a lady or a gentleman?

- A lady
- A gentleman
- My dear sir, there are individuals roaming the streets of Fallen London at this very moment with the faces of squid! Squid! Do you ask them their gender? And yet you waste our time asking me trifling and impertinent questions about mine? It is my own business, sir, and I bid you good day."

@icecolbeveridge @whitequark Unsurprisingly, the Fallen London community is full of non-binary people
@freya That figures 🙂 (I'm not NB, but I picked that option all the same because how could I not?)
@whitequark How about high, low, high impeance, and dontcare?

@whitequark I used to run a web forum where the options were (IIRC):

* Male
* Female
* Other
* Neither
* Hamster
* Cigar (take that, Freud!)

I can't take credit, and looking back the people who requested it may have had an AHA moment or two later in life

@whitequark definitely my new gender. My pronouns are top/secret.
@whitequark My gender is secrecy, because you won’t give me a text box to fully explain it (what is even this)

@whitequark what's your gender?

"secrecy"

okay but what's in your pants?

"subterfuge"

uhh, but what are you though?

"a spy"
