Thou shalt not deny gender is a spectrum while claiming to be manlier. If you can rank it, it's not a binary.
@godpod Logical God +1. Illogical dipshits 0.
@godpod But, But, Not THAT kind of spectrum! LOL
@godpod Bodies are as dust, with but a short time alive. It is about what you do with them, not how you judge them β€” the journey, not the vehicle, is what is most important.
@godpod Men: "There is only man and woman"
Same men: "You're not a real man if you don't brush your teeth with tabasco!"
@godpod Good to see you God, I’ve been thinking about you

@godpod This is rubbish logic. Gender as an alias for specifically human sexuality is absolutely a binary, and manliness as an adjective can have degrees. You could even have a manly woman as a reference to some attribute typically associated with men. She would still be a woman because that is a binary type not a spectrum.

In programming terms integers can be sorted and ranked, and strings can be sorted and ranked, but as far as types go they are still one or the other, never both or between.

I love this: "If you can rank it, it's not a binary." A helpful encapsulation. It reminds me of a categorisation I saw by a geneticist of the five known XY chromosomal variations - definitely not 'binary'. I suspect few things are... (even 'dead or alive' includes 'half dead'). It (binary) seems more like a useful shortcut to speed up 1st pass thinking about stuff when you want/ need to be fast. (As I write this I fear it will be considered provocative... or not...? Joke!) πŸ˜ƒ
