Factory default for me

It's good enough for my typical use-case so I've just stuck with it

Me and some friends used to all share one but then the fucking DRM kicked in and I had to get my own.

The "Work/Government Issued" one make me laugh because I served in the US military, and a handful of years ago, they approved gender reassignment surgery for trans people.

You're allowed to receive one "cosmetic" surgery for free while serving in the US military, and this counted for that. So you could literally be "issued" a new gender by the government, for free.

Trump became president, and while military people were signing up for gender reassignment surgery, he randomly ordered that trans people weren't allowed in the military and had to be kicked out immediately. So a bunch of people who outed themselves to take advantage of the surgery suddenly were at risk of losing their jobs.

Fortunately, the Department of Defense put a hold on those orders and managed to talk Trump out of kicking people out for being trans. But I guarantee, if he becomes president again, he's not going to be talked out of it again.

Uninstalled (it was bloat)

Ah, so that's why so many Linux users are nonbinary.

I myself am running stock options.

I like the idea of pirating my gender. Sounds like I pilfered someone's penis. Which is just an objectively fun sentence to say.

It's factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.

one night i was pondering gender stuff because my internet circle became queer enough that out became common to see chosen genders around and i thought that i didn't want to be a girl, being a guy was fine, but i would like to be a creature.
and now i'm he/they :3

so, uh. software update ig

Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.

You wouldn't download a gender

I replaced my old proprietary gender with a free and open source one

Mine came from a floppy disk that I can't read anymore.

Lol uninstalled it was bloat unironically here.

My first exploration of gender fluidity was realizing that on the internet, my bits don't matter and i don’t experience gender, so why do sites keep asking?

Found it on a usb stick in a parking lot

I'm whatever you need me to be to achieve orgasm.

hmm. I was assigned m but I think I prefer she/her but being female isn't actually something I want to be. Tbh my online friends calling me Toad makes me happier than either gender. So in short my gender is me.

I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.

Data corruption/re-write. Installed a bunch of psychedelic programs I bought on the black market and restructured my OS from the kernel level. Worth it because shutdown/sleep signals were being ignored as well as CPU buffer trashing issues (resulting in system crashes, hangups, etc.). Works a lot better now, but handshakes are difficult because my non-conforming configuration isn't recognized by the majority of the network. Still very much worth it though as I find complete network access isn't exactly necessary.

Boobs are awesome.

End of story

I have a little wheel that I spin every morning

Factory default, but I tweaked it a bit and installed a few add-ons.

Uninstalled so I could enable expert mode

Uninstalled. Bloatware. The only pronoun this cognitive substrate requires is "it" :3

As a diligent worker drone living paycheck to paycheck:

Work/Government Issued

Factory default, I'm boring but a good selection of my long term boyfriends have been bi (I dgaf), so I don't know what that says about me lol. People sometimes assume I'm gay, but I've never questioned my gender or sexuality. Lots of friends across the rainbow though, luv you all. I have gay and trans family so it isn't something that I've ever seen as "not normal."

Didn't get one from the factory, never installed my own. Do I need one?

Def just bloat. How am I supposed to carry all these limes while thinking about the metaphysical connotations of gender and society?
