Valid. We need cis folks like you to make sure there's a wide enough market for the brainblasting music we prefer =3

Mood. I'm doing my best to be the visible enby I never got to see when I was small.

I picked up a cheap sewing machine last week to patch a few torn garments I've collected over the years, and I think this new hyperfixation is going to stick for practical reasons. It's damn near impossible to find off-the-shelf clothing that fits well on an enby like me, but now I'm developing the skills to fix it myself! And honestly, even with mediocre tools, sloppy linework, and an absolute lack of prior experience, the results have been just outstanding.

I'm already fighting the urge to fly off the handle, buy a better machine as well as one for embroidery and a surger, move furniture to make a dedicated crafting space, start modding all my clothes, and trying my hand at designing my own asymmetrical streetwear. =O

Genuinely. Like; walking to the mailbox when a lost childhood memory resurfaces for no apparent reason and then I'm making smalltalk with the neighbor to distract myself from the bittersweet moment that'd have me in tears otherwise

Life is so damn beautiful, y'all. There are the horrors, but there is also joy~<3

Me reading this with a hippie beard.

What the two other replies have neglected to mention as the cool side-effect of light affecting the curvature of spacetime despite being massless is that it's theoretically possible to make a black hole out of nothing but light. The concept is called a "Kugelblitz", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_%28astrophysics%29

I'm regularly mistaken for being more than a dozen years younger than I am. =D

Well for me I can be varying degrees of male/female or masc/female

Also valid! Genderfluid folks slide around the graph as needed.

male/female and masc/femme (not really sure what the difference is) [...] I'm also not quite sure what the inter/endo dimension is about.

The male/female pair refers to reproductive roles, I'm in the middle of that range because I don't strongly identify with either of the breeding archetypes.

Masc/femme refers to gender presentation, I lean a bit more towards the masculine side thanks to my fancy moustache and lack of concern for makeup, but I'm also very proud of my itty bitty titties and I like to wear well-fitting clothes that emphasize my figure.

Intersex/endosex is a slightly more complicated one to explain. Just because someone is born with an intersex condition doesn't necessarily mean that they identify with it and vice-versa for the endosex individuals who have the typical sex charachteristics. Most folks are strongly endo, but gender-nonconforming and nonbinary folks like me have an identity that's often much closer to the intersex archetype than otherwise.

I'm guessing the low values in the last dimension are causing the rest of it to be messed up.

Being lower on the genderless/genderfull scale does tend to make one's position in the other dimensions more uncertain, true. I don't see that as being "messed up", though, you've just got a looser connection to those other aspects of your identity and that's just fjne! =D

That's also valid! There's a lot of space in 5D gender:

On a scale of 0-10, then on the male/female axis I'm about a 5, masc/femme 3, inter/endo 4, cis/trans 9, and agender/genderfull 10

But that's way too complicated for most folks who've never been taught anything but binary gender.

Well, yes and no.

In my personal perspective, gender is a multi-dimensional space in which the male and female archetypes represent the ends of just one spectrum of variation. Additional dimensions include (but are not limited to) masc/femme, cisgender/transgender, intersex/endosex, and genderless/genderfull.

In that context, it's easy to define myself as being closer to the opposite of agender folks than any of the other poles. If a kid asked us if I were a boy or a girl, rather than the "No" they'd give, I would answer "yes".

Omg, right? I wish I could have started hormone therapy during high school, I'd have been such a hottie by the time I started college~.

You know a good heist always needs that genius mechanic who can bodge a mechanical solution to such practical problems, or just have a flatbed truck with a crane or something.

If this were a movie, it'd end up with an 18-wheeler and whatever nonsense would be required to steal a whole train car. XD
