My guess would be that the left ones are old and difficult to read books professors like precisely because of that, and the right are books which explain things in a more understandable way. But that's just a guess based on that that's exactly how I, as a former physics major, would use this meme for physics books.

You said:

Sometimes the software does not reflect the hardware.

If gender is the software and the body is the hardware, this is kind of the "born in the wrong body"-stuff many people still use and it implies that there is a kind of hardware/software combination that fits together and a kind of combination that does not.

Could be because I reported it for being discriminating towards non-binary people because you negated their existence.

And it breaks my heart every time I hear yet another story of someone killing their own passion, numbing themselves down to the point that they become unable to enjoy what they formerly loved, just to "fit in" a society that doesn't accept deviation from the perceived norm.

Yeah I feel like that was an issue for me as well and one of the reasons I either repressed or resented parts of myself for a long time. And I'm glad the journeys I had the last couple of years (the one I described in the post and also the journey of overcoming depression) not only helped me accept those parts of myself, but be happy and proud that I have them.

You make some very good points imo

[-] polysexualstick@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Nah, I don't subscribe to that analogy because it still implies that there are "male" bodies and "female" bodies when I think every woman's body is by definition a female body and every man's body is by definition a male body.

Wow, you are so enlightened shitting on non-binary people like that and denying them their gender experience /s

[-] polysexualstick@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Exactly my point, I just find it very difficult or even impossible to put my experience of gender identity like you describe it into words

33

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don't relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a "what role men have in society"-way.

I'm German, so I'm probably kissing former European Left Party President and current MP Gregor Gysi.

  • I don't want to sexually assault anyone, and I think he would find it funny more than anything else
  • I don't want to do it maliciously to like make someone look bad and with his demeanor everyone will be like "it's nice how chill he handled that"
  • I think he did important work so I wouldn't at all mind being seen with him in public

The only real other option would be Green Party MP Bruno Hönel because he's the only gay MP I find cute and maybe I can sneak his number...

It literally says that on the picture

which is why it won't happen as long as capitalism exists

But it's not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality
