I want somebody to become presidentkin.
Also, I remember when Vade was boasting about how they submitted a few genders to MA. The most memorable one was Snarlgender.

Even as someone in the LGBT community I still don't understand all these new genders. Trans is definitely real and has evidence in biology, not denying that, but demiboy? Genderfluid? Zim/zir/zirself, ect...
I don't understand the biology/science behind it. I guess I can understand not feeling like you're any gender (agender), but I feel like most of these new tumblr made pronouns and stuff are just "cis" people not wanting that label so they're jumping on the trans train...because I only see this stuff in the tumblr community.
Pretty much this. I have several genderfluid friends, and it definitely seems to be like..."there are days where I'm 100% comfortable with, and identify with, my assigned gender at birth, and then there are days when I don't identify with it at all and feel dysphoric as hell," essentially? And I can kinda understand demiboy/demigirl too (my understanding is that it's basically "I'm not exactly (gender), but (gender) is pretty much the closest equivalent I can think of," but I might be wrong). Same with agender.Genuine genderfluid people do exist... they usually have fluctuating gender dysphoria (as opposed to other types of trans people, whose dysphoria is consistent) but a lot of people on tumblr think that wearing "boy clothes" one day and "girl clothes" the next makes someone genderfluid. I personally don't have issue with pronouns like ze/zir or ey/em because at least they sound like pronouns, and they/them can be unclear in some contexts. But the "sproutself" stuff is taking it too far.
And this is why I can't stand tucutes. They constantly cry "But you're policing my gender! Stop gatekeeping what it's like to be trans/nb! My identity is my identity!" But if your "identity" is based around the fact that you're a cis female who likes boy stuff so you obviously must be trans, your identity is based around gender stereotypes which means I will invalidate it forever, too fucking bad.
These people think that in order to be cis you have to act like celebrities on TV and you must fit a perfect mold of "what it means to be female/male". I feel like they get no exposure to anything else and thus think that any behavior outside of stereotypes means that they aren't cis. It's such backwards thinking for a group on a website that claims to be so progressive about gender.
