50 shades

Am I still all right to think of myself as a man, or is my masculine identity oppressing someone?

If you are a white, right-handed, college educated, straight, cis-gendered male, you are personally responsible for every form of oppression throughout history on the entire planet, and you should be ashamed of being born that way.

Fortunately, you can still try to get minority status by claiming to be an otherkin with headmates. It is your only possible form of Tumblredemption.

1. I don't have Facebook
2. I don't care if people want to be categorized as being in one of 50/100/1,000,000 categories, it's their problem

Shit.

That's pretty much what they told me in sociology class.

No lie, toward the end of the class, the professor said, "it doesn't matter what you are, as long as you all believe in god, in some way." Which was pretty bizarre for a class about tolerance, and further proves to me that its true that atheists are the world's most mistrusted minority.

Fuck no, I'm gonna be fuckin' proud of my heritage. Granted, I'm fairly ambidextrous, so I might be right outside of this zone. SHEE-IT!

Good.

Never.

Really though, it's all complete and utter shite. 50 choices? No. Two, and you're either one or the other. Deal with it.

I'm not white either, I'm sunburnt - and a southpaw (another oppressed minority group)! ;)

I have no idea what "cis-gendered" means and I'm proud of my ignorance.

Whoo, Australian Southpaws unite!

Basically, not transgender.

I've seen so many SJW get the definition wrong and assume cis means heterosexual. Even though sexuality has nothing to do with it.

cisgendered is to transexual as neurotypical is to autism. That clear things up?

Holy fuck no it did not. I'm worse off at understanding this than before

I demand to be an it. It makes virginity more bearable.

Jesus Christ this thread is going to end up like another at this rate.

I just tried to fix the gender section of my profile, and all it had was "Male", "Female", and "Custom". When are the changes planned to be implemented? Furthermore, why add fifty check boxes when I can already input whatever I want?

They aren't. As I alluded to previously, they aren't adding 50 checkboxes. It's a textbox that, as you type, suggests up to 50 pre-defined tags. You can use them, or whatever you want. Sorta like when you start typing in your religious or political preference and they offer suggestions.

The tags are probably there in hopes that people will use them, thereby making stats and data mining easier.

The real motive behind this "look at how progressive we are" thing.

Weould it still be a propaganda coup for them if we got everybody to change their gender to ZuckerFucker?

I'd be so easy for them to use global search-n-replace and change that to "Zucker's Bitch".

And then they'd have a major PR problem on their hands.

Blame Anonymous, Islamist hackers and/or disgruntled former employees for the debacle - problem solved.

All that fuzz about genders but what about defining your race/species since I'm mentally an Atlantean with quarter Lemurian.

In the Star Trek Enterprise episode "Cogenitor", there's an alien species with a third gender. I think the males and females both need to shag it for someone to have a baby. I'm not one of those sad bastards who watches Star Trek to get the horn on (if anyone actually does), but I admit the episode would have been more interesting if there'd been a three-way shafting at the end, rather than Commander Tucker teaching the cogenitor to read.

Where's the 'formerly trans,' 'smizmar' or 'neither?'
