Factory default for me
It’s good enough for my typical use-case so I’ve just stuck with it
Boooooring!
Yeah, me too.
Too much work to learn how a new system works inside and out, but I can focus on interoperability
If you run HRT you can choose to keep the same hardware and interoperability and also have the benefit of a free and open choice of gender. It will require a little research to get started, but there is great documentation on the lgbtqia wiki (mtf btw)*.

hey neat, I found the cisgender sub-thread! me too.
Same here. As fun as it might be trying out another gender, it’s far too complicated, and I’d rather mess with NixOS
Same here. I like wearing skirts and being pretty but I’m a cis guy. Due to my exploration of gender expression my friends are occasionally like “Are you sure you’re cis?” And I’m just like “Yep, still a man unfortunately. I’d straight up be something else if I could but nope. Still a dude.”
This energy is excellent and the world needs more of it.
LET GUYS BE PRETTY TOO, DAMNIT!
Normalize men wearing skirts.
Scotland forever intensifies
NGL it’s nice to be pretty sometimes just as it’s nice to look handsome sometimes
Still a dude here as well
Me and some friends used to all share one but then the fucking DRM kicked in and I had to get my own.
what
They said

I’ve enloudened it
Oh thanks! Hearing aids are too expensive these days
probably something healthcare (US) related
Mine came from a floppy disk that I can’t read anymore.
You just go booting up random genderware like that?
You’ll get Stuxnetted.
The “Work/Government Issued” one make me laugh because I served in the US military, and a handful of years ago, they approved gender reassignment surgery for trans people.
You’re allowed to receive one “cosmetic” surgery for free while serving in the US military, and this counted for that. So you could literally be “issued” a new gender by the government, for free.
Trump became president, and while military people were signing up for gender reassignment surgery, he randomly ordered that trans people weren’t allowed in the military and had to be kicked out immediately. So a bunch of people who outed themselves to take advantage of the surgery suddenly were at risk of losing their jobs.
Fortunately, the Department of Defense put a hold on those orders and managed to talk Trump out of kicking people out for being trans. But I guarantee, if he becomes president again, he’s not going to be talked out of it again.
Military issued boobs is a hilarious sentence, wonder if they come in camo
Breast augmentation is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries in the military. I actually knew someone who had hers reduced in size because they were too big and interfering with her life. Plus, wearing heavy flak vests with armor plating is painful if you have boobs, and next-to-impossible if they’re massive.
I also had another coworker who got implants because she said her flat chest was affecting her mental health, self-image, and confidence. Now she’s one of the more confident and outgoing people I know in the military.
The most common surgery, actually, was LASIK/PRK eye surgery. For most of my career, it was considered a cosmetic surgery. The military defined “cosmetic surgery” as any unnecessary surgery a member elected to have done. You didn’t need to fix your eyesight, because the military would issue you glasses. So it was cosmetic.
However, in the last handful of years I was in, someone successfully argued that getting your eyes corrected would improve your effectiveness at work, and thus was a benefit to the military, not just the member. Plus, they started allowing people to become pilots if they had the PRK surgery. (You need perfect vision to be a pilot, and eye surgery used to ban you from the job.) So eye surgery is no longer a cosmetic surgery.
Uninstalled (it was bloat)
Ah, so that’s why so many Linux users are nonbinary.
I myself am running stock options.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as nonbinary, is in fact, UNG/nonbinary, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, UNG plus nonbinary. Nonbinary is not an operating gender unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UNG system made useful by the UNG corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full gender as defined by POSIX.
*UNG -> UNG’s Not (a) Gender
I like the idea of pirating my gender. Sounds like I pilfered someone’s penis. Which is just an objectively fun sentence to say.
not per the poor person whose peen was pilfered
I replaced my old proprietary gender with a free and open source one
Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
You wouldn’t download a gender
Hey I found this dick fair and square! It fits perfectly. But I’m still looking for a bigger one.
You can have mine, I’m uninstalling (it’s bloat)
Does it come with balls? It would be so cool to have 4!

What about 3D printing one?
May work well for show, but remember that fdm prints are never food safe.

Work/Government Issued
one night i was pondering gender stuff because my internet circle became queer enough that out became common to see chosen genders around and i thought that i didn’t want to be a girl, being a guy was fine, but i would like to be a creature.
and now i’m he/they :3so, uh. software update ig
Lol uninstalled it was bloat unironically here.
My first exploration of gender fluidity was realizing that on the internet, my bits don’t matter and i don’t experience gender, so why do sites keep asking?
why do sites keep asking?
Collecting and selling your data for “marketing”!
Thats why i just randomize my details these days.
Galaxy brain: gender fluidity to keep the advertisers on their toes
Isn’t this dynamically assigned at boot? I’m still not sure about how (different forms of) gender fluidity work. I believe I personally am agender but am not sure yet and still confused.
Brains are unique so identify comes in many flavors.
Many people experience a uniform and unchanging sense of gender identity, This can be anywhere on the spectrum. Binary, between or other, kitty.
Gender fluidity as I understand it is more dynamic and can change, for some people day by day for me its the social context and the logical realization that except for sex my sex should be irrelevant.
I still have a defined radius which is guess is assigned at boot. I identity as agender, nonbinary, and between male and agender but i have never identified as a women.
I’d never really thought about those kinds of combinations. I’m still not sure how one can indentify as a binary gender so yeah.
Non-binary to me is generally just an umbrella term for between or outside the binary genders (and intersex? (Should be a non-binary sex though right?)). When you say you identify as genderfluid in form of a mix of agender, non-binary, and between male and agender. Does this mean that the non-binary part is a part that exists outside of the other ones, that is more difficult to name/describe?
Also the last part (between agender and male) confuses me. Is that the assigned upon boot part? Or is it actually a mix?
I really want a mathematical representation of gender but it would be impossible to make it inclusive and useful.
My own mathematical model of a gender spectrum matches close to that of the autism spectrum.
I visualize these spectrums in 3 dimensions but understanding that with our limited brain capacity reality could easily have spectrums with more then 3 dimensions.
Strong big macho man is one of the extremities on that spectrum a fashionista femme fatal another.
Most people are somewhere between that but ver clearly on one side. I took issue with all macho-centric competition others from my sex where involved with. I am a much more softer and emotional person. Simply lacking the desire to be the manliest man already makes me a women to some.
So i am on the male-female spectrum on the male side.
But i am also on the less expressive side of gender expression. To me its related to wether or not i am looking to mate.
I am married so i am not looking to mate so i have no reason to express either male or female features.
I believe there are opposites who are non binary / fluid but are full of genders expression, expression that could be either male or female or both at once. A key You need to remember here is that such people are really confusing for cis gendered people because they are attracted and repulsed at the same time.
Now trying to get back to mathematical perspective. One of the reasons i think that nonbinary who expresses still often loan from binary expression is because, i believe that our binary gender expression is an Emerging properties from our conscious on having a sexual body.
Or biological sex evolved binary so did our experience of gender. Now as experiment with their bodies and toys its possible we end up with some kind of sex that can Be expressed and is no sense male or female.
Furry’s come to mind. They are often also binary but i am pretty sure they have kinks that only work on their own. If you remembered the key from before. Cis gender people may only be repulsed by a furry trying to court them. A tail wagging sexually is neither male or female gender expression.
Does this help/ make any sense?
Def just bloat. How am I supposed to carry all these limes while thinking about the metaphysical connotations of gender and society?
Data corruption/re-write. Installed a bunch of psychedelic programs I bought on the black market and restructured my OS from the kernel level. Worth it because shutdown/sleep signals were being ignored as well as CPU buffer trashing issues (resulting in system crashes, hangups, etc.). Works a lot better now, but handshakes are difficult because my non-conforming configuration isn’t recognized by the majority of the network. Still very much worth it though as I find complete network access isn’t exactly necessary.
(╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞
my non-conforming configuration isn’t recognized by the majority of the network
This could be a case of nodes running outdated software, the current standard protocols can handle any unknown configuration just fine. These are a source of a lot of holes and vulnerabilities that can pose a serious risk, they should be updated as soon as possible. If you have to keep outdated systems in your network e.g. running on legacy hardware, or make the ocasional connection, you’ll have to monitor them and isolate them from your critical infrastructure, at least with a good firewall and a strict configuration when possible.
