June is Pride Month! Do you feel you’re on this scale? Or more of a mix of different ones?
3-5 70% of the time, some days i can’t be bothered to dress up and just wear a bra with T-shirt and men’s gym shorts though
I think this ought to include two dimensions (at least), one spectrum of gender and another of presentation. So woman to man on one, and feminine to masculine on another. The middle on the existing chart gets complicated because it wants to order butch women on the femme=woman side and feminine men on the masc=man side and they don’t quite line up. If I could draw, I’d make a chart like:
Barbie Tig Notaro Dan Levy GI Joe (celebs just examples that came to mind, not necessarily the epitome of this structure lol)
I agree, it’s definitely oversimplified. I bet all of us are X number in one trait, but Y in another. Gender is so diverse it can’t be simple.
Probably between a 4 and a 5. I have a running half-joke with some of my friends that I’m the only femboy who is actually a woman. Half joke because it’s rediculous but also it’s kind of how I actually feel.
I’m a 2. I wouldn’t say I’m pure sugary pink fashion loving girly, but pink is my favourite colour and I love animal prints and bows.
@dandelion@piefed.blahaj.zone I’m a 9 when it comes to banning people but you’re a full on GI Joe 10 haha
haha, I think in terms of gender identity I am similar, I’m probably a 2, sometimes I can vibe with anything from 2 - 4, but compared to other women in my life I tend to be more femme.
This chart could use a second dimension for saturation / intensity.
And yeah, I’m definitely rigid in my rule-applying 😆 Will commit moderation hate crimes apparently 😝
Haha and that’s what makes you so great
same tbh
According to the diagrams, holding your arms outward is feminine, but holding them inwards at your side in order to take up less space is masculine. Sounds backwards
I’m not a huge fan of this diagram because it also seems to imply that having a belly is somehow more masculine? Barbie girls can have big bellies too… Thinness isn’t and shouldn’t be a factor in feminity.
You mean outward is backwards and inward is (straight)forward ? Or is it the other way around ?
In terms of presentation, move around between 4, 5 and 6
Nice try, come back with a warrant next time
I’m vibing with the shoulder pain of #7.
Haha I noticed that
I think it has always been between 4-8, exactly where changes over time.
Honestly, kinda flit everywhere between 2 and 6, depending on the day. I feel like I’m probably a 4 on a normal day, but I can’t ignore the times of “My gender is something beyond your, and my, comprehension.”
Honestly I’d rock an m1a1 in a dress I could have a Kevlar underskirt to match. Let me ride to war atop my Abrams chariot dressed like a queen.
Edit: only after posting did I realise we might be talking about the toys and not dress up.
I’m a trans woman. Weirdly enough I’ve never had much respect for pointlessly gendered toys. If people point blank asked me “Barbie or G.I. Joe?” I’d hesitantly answer “…um, TMNT???”
That said, I can’t explain how I got a strange productivity boost recently when I started ordering stickers and putting them everywhere. I do need some cutesiness it seems. As long as I don’t make everything pink.

thanks for your contribution, but this community has a rule that only women are permitted to comment. Hope you understand! 💛
I thought non-binary people were explicitly allowed here?
non-binary & trans people are welcome to decide whether they feel they belong in a women-only community, so yes - they are explicitly allowed in this community …
You removed a comment by a person that said they were nonbinary and explicitly said that only women may post, do you see how that would counter the rule about nonbinary users posting?
They haven’t identified as non-binary, but they have explicitly identified as a cis man and as not trans … I don’t see what further discussion is necessary here or why you are raising this issue about another user.
(As an aside, it’s not uncommon for cis men to not think much about their gender or feel indifferent towards it, especially in a society that treats being a cis man as a kind of human default and anyone else is “Other”.)
Regardless, the trans inclusive policy is meant to allow trans people to self-determine whether they feel they belong in a women-only community, and this isn’t applicable in a case where someone explicitly identifies as a cis man.
Where is that explicit identification? I’ve seen them identify as trans/non-binary in other spaces before. Their hexbear alt specifically has they/them pronouns cited: https://hexbear.net/u/sharkfucker420
why you are raising this issue about another user
Because I care about this space, on Blahaj of all places, being trans/non-binary inclusive?
Edit: Also if they’ve said they aren’t trans, many non-binary people don’t consider themselves as such.
It’s not my responsibility nor appropriate for me to publicly debate or dissect evidence of someone else’s gender identity. As a moderator I have sufficient evidence for my actions, but you are welcome to raise this with @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone or @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone if you have a concern.
My gender is multiple different scales that each fluctuate and half of them cant be described with words :3
Depending on my mood anywhere from 3 to 7.
