As a very young man, your humble author thought to experiment around with psychedelic drugs. The utter lack of connection to reality was very profound, and very scary. However, when the drugs wore off, reality returned.
These days, American reality is so bizarre as to be similar to the psychedelic unreality experienced so many decades ago. In many ways, it is very similar to Alice in Wonderland, and her journey down the rabbit hole. "Curiouser and curiouser," we observe, as America spirals into a state of being in full flight from reality.
The example I am focusing on, today, is the utterly bizarre decision of Facebook to change the gender self-identification from the choices of male, female, or other (which is a little odd, itself) to FIFTY-ONE, count them, FIFTY-ONE gender choices. The list includes: Agender, Androgyne, Androgynous, Bigender, Cis, Cisgender, Cis Female, Cis Male, Cis Man, Cis Woman, Cisgender Female, Cisgender Male, Cisgender Man, Cisgender Woman, Female to Male, FTM, Gender Fluid, Gender Nonconforming, Gender Questioning, Gender Variant, Genderqueer, Intersex, Male to Female, MTF, Neither, Neutrois, Non-binary, Other, Pangender, Trans, Trans*, Trans Female, Trans* Female, Trans Male, Trans* Male, Trans Man, Trans* Man, Trans Person, Trans* Person, Trans Woman, Trans* Woman, Transfeminine. Transgender, Transgender Female, Transgender Male, Transgender Man, Transgender Person, Transgender Woman, Transmasculine, Transsexual, Transsexual Female, Transsexual Male, Transsexual Man, Transsexual Person, Transsexual Woman, and Two-Spirit.
This is insane. There are more flavors of gender, according to Facebook, then there are flavors of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. To my mind, there should be exactly three gender options:
America is alone in the world with this new, strange, 1960's-Radical-driven divorce with reality. The world must look at us in a semi-stunned disbelieving awe, questioning to themselves: "How did our rich uncle lost his mind?"
I feel that the best way to demonstrate to an insane person (or in our case, culture) that they are insane, is to dive deeper into their insanity and one-up them. In that vein, I offer Facebook a new gender label, that of Quantum Gender with Nanosecond Variability. I will define Quantum Gender with Nanosecond Variability thus:
A person is neither male, nor female, but is in a quantum 'probability state' of maleness or femaleness, until the gender is actually observed. At that time the quantum field collapses into a true gender of male or female. However, the quantum field state returns every nanosecond, so one can never quite be sure of the gender from nanosecond to nanosecond. Be aware that -- like Schrodinger's Cat -- the act of observing the person's gender influences the outcome of their gender.
My gender is hereby declared to be 'Quantum Gender with Nanosecond Variability', and if Facebook does not recognize me, they are discriminating against me. OFF MY BACK, OPPRESSOR!
“Robosexual” available as per Futurama?
at first I thought it was FB’s attempt at humor and satire
Last night it was 51 options.
At this rate of increase we’ll hit 1000 real soon.
I thought you were sent on vacation????
Yes, turns out that Pansgold the credit card fraudster is also the nuked troll foolynyah.
Vacations end. The beach was nice.
Vomit ....
Disgusting picture of a mutilated crazy woman who impregnated herself with the result of some deranged dude wanking into a turkey-baster.
Okay, Okay. I’ve come to terms with myself and at great risk, I have announcement to make:
In these times of denial of oneself and suppression of your identity, it has become apparent that I must take a stand and being a man of convictions, not wanting anymore ambiguity in my life and to clear any confusion, least my life be co-opted by the homosexual lobby I am declaring my love for all things women(cept that talking on and on forever about what I don’t know and the hugging afterward when I just want to go to sleep).
I Am A Heterosexual!
Yep, don’t be surprised. I am guessing a good many of you knew this already but, there it is.
I don’t find men attractive in any way shape or form. Not that there would be anything wrong that....
I know some of you may judge me harshly due to your convictions and sense of moral superiority, perhaps because of your spiritual enlightenment and I’m okay with that.
I will say that there have been times, in the middle of an argument with my girlfriend, I wished she was a man so I could end the idiocy being spewed. But, that just wouldn’t be sporting, fair and besides, It’s just plain gross.
I’ll take the ear piercing shrills of the softer part of man over a hairy nipple anyday. Well, I’ll clarify: there have been some pretty hot European women who needed to shave and I was attracted to them, for a moment.
Still, my Hetero identity and American snobbery won out and I never ventured relations with Bruna.
So, flame suit on. Excoriate me if you must but, I know who I am.
PS Laz, you are my hero but, that’s as far as our bromance will ever go.
I like hips, lips and @#4ts...
I wish Facebook had included Robosexual.
What is ‘CIS’?...................................{or do I not want to know?}......................
Zuckerberg is either certifiably insane-stupid or insane-hubristic manipulative.
These rich people like Bloomberg really have an ego problem in playing people to their lecturing themselves to ridiculous behaviors and insane “social” antisocial anti communicative demands.
Welcome to the mindless mind locker of Facebook... Pure trash that grows nothing to threaten the vanity of these people.
how do I follow someone on here?
I think th e real question is, which subset of the 51 options would Laz hit?
Their loss!
You ask to be put on my Ping List.
Curiously, CIS refers to us normal people. We are 'Cis Male' or 'Cis Female'.
To quote some insane lady:
"Cis- all of these terms capture that a person is not trans or does not have a gender diverse identity or presentation."
Sorry, but how do I do that.
Do your articles ever discuss ugly women and which ones you would hit? I think that would be a popular topic.
