What are the genders of non-binary?
And while you're here, is yellow more of a blue or red?
Yellow is far closer to red than blue... it has a wavelength of ~570 nm, while red is ~615 nm and blue ~470 nm.
Edit, mistake
But that's only in RGBW, how about in CYMK?
/s
This is like saying that I'm closer to being a New Yorker than a Californian, because I live in North Carolina.
Sure, something is "closer", but it is completely distinct and has little to do with either.
"Genders of nonbinary"
My friend, nonbinary is a gender. This is like asking what type of bird a chicken is.
Nonbinary is a category of genders much like intersex is a category of sexes. It contains everything from agender to bigender to demigenders and all sorts of others. Much like how intersex can mean anything from completely ambiguous reproductive structures to anomalies of the sex chromosomes to natural hormone imbalance starting at puberty as well as several other traits. Sometimes it’s relevant to narrow it down.
That's a bad analogy, because a chicken is a Galliform.
I knew it. I felt it the second I typed it that there was something wrong with the analogy and someone who knows birds more than me would come along and point it out. I posted the analogy anyway. That's on me.
It was an excellent analogy.
TIL chickens can time travel.
Thank you for your service. Damn near fell out of my chair.
Right, like the ones with vaginas are cool and the ones with penises aren't?
This just sounds like sexes with extra steps.
Exactly like Java vs Python vs C++
