A Better Poll: What is your Gender?

[Mean_Mr.Mustard]

@Shodan

So if they said they were female, they would be wrong, correct?

What I am getting at is this -
If the word can have any definition one wishes, then the question “are you male, female, or other” has no meaning.

Shodan

Indeed.

Well, it has a meaning, just that the meaning is fluid and disconnected to biology…2 people (so far) picked pizza, after all.

Gah…ETA, what QuickSilver said.

Male = ‘‘having a penis and a Y chromosome.’’

Female = ‘‘having a vagina and XX chromosomes.’’

So actually if you want to get pedantic, the gender poll should have said ‘‘man’’ and ‘‘woman’’ not ‘‘male/female,’’ since those are descriptors of biological sex.

I foresee this thread not ending well.

In my interpretation, the OP is asking for gender, not sex, so biologically their sex would be male, but gender female. At least this is how the distinction was back in the early 90s when I became aware of these things, and so far as I know, it hasn’t changed that much, but who knows.

You may refer to me as 1011001.

If you are a close friend you may use my nickname, 10.

So the poll should include male male, female female, female male, and male female?

Woman’s intuition?

Ah, here is the Tinder Ginder list I heard mentioned on SNL. I am not going to admit to being a “big-ender.”

It’s only asking for gender.

Yes, I knew very well where you were going to try to go and I got there long before you.

Go back and read what I wrote.

But under these circumstances, I’d say every respondent is free to use whatever definition they wish.

This is an online poll. You’re free to define yourself as a man, a woman, or a pizza if you wish.

The same conditions are not true in all circumstances where people are asked what their gender is.

I am a Male, trapped in a Man’s body.

The doctors tell me that there is no hope.

Anyone else who answered ‘other’ hasn’t bothered to answer, apparently. But I will.

I am genderfluid, meaning…well, exactly what it says on the tin. My identity is fluid, unfixed, changing. Most often femme.

Ever since early adolescence, I’ve felt an undeniable, uncontrollable attraction to pizza. It all makes sense now…

I can imagine that those of the pizza gender are attracted to those who enjoy eating pizza.

@monstro

I’m a woman. But I’m open to being a pizza, as long I don’t have to have olives or anchovies.

Can i have your olives and anchovies?

[Loach]

Regardless of what the question is, pizza is always the answer.

@Gatopescado

What kind of Pizza?

I was going to resist but -------- here’s your pepperoni!

@Gatopescado

What kind of Pizza?

Hawaiian.

I meant to make this about biological sex, but doughnuts arrived and I lost focus.

@Spice_Weasel

I mean how could the Dope ever be without pedantry?

define: pedantry;)

This is a silly online poll, is it really necessary to go though this crap yet again?

I screwed up the poll. I’ll ask for this to be closed.
I will not start a new one.

@Shodan

Please define “male” and “female” so I know what you mean by each term. Also “pizza”.

Just go with your feelings. Do you feel kinda male, kinda female or kinda pizza?

You’re overthinking.
