This post intrigues me

Or as Wilson says, I too am in this episode.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

I identify as tungsten. They found me in a meteor. I need tungsten to live. TUNGSTENNNN

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

Is your gender radioactive?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

I like tungsten.

My ex is of the Po-210 gender. Extremely toxic.

Shouldn't it be like Wn and Me? I mean when it's derived from Female and Men, why not just say women and men or as I wrote above Woman and Men. Or Fe and Me for Female and Male or am I just overthinking?

femme would go well with homme.

right now it's only 118 genders, but it's still possible to discover more.

A lot of genders are very unstable though. Some genders can be violently dangerous, prone to reactivity, or won't even survive very long in the real world.

Almost, but it’s hydrogen and helium

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In astrophysics the other would all be metal. You can use it to help tell the age of a star.

[–] Robaque@feddit.it 10 points 1 day ago

Goddamn woke metals, that's not how age works

Wheelchair bound people for scale

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

It’s a societal power scale. Once you’re disable you’re just less of a person now. That’s why we make them used different water fountains.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The two genders: Men and Femen

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago

The Fremen! For Lisan Al Gaib!

[–] tensorpudding@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am a Transuranic, I am super heavy and my gender's half life is measured in milliseconds.

[–] ninth_plane@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Also you weren't assigned Uranium at birth.

I'm Argon and I just want to pee. Which one do I use??

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 5 points 20 hours ago

We're Argon and we just want to pee. Which one do we use?

Use the noble we. And the noble wee.

True noble gases are extremely resistant to producing liquid at room temperature.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 1 day ago

this actually seems like a good pun for a chemistry building

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funnily enough the alchemical symbol for Iron is ♂, the symbol for the male gender lol

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that makes non-binary people either Iron-Copper (fitting but lame) or Mercury (less commonly used symbol for non-binary/genderfluid but a pure element)

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Better than the abstract art some places like to use.

Nuclear power must be opposed to maintain transphobia!

I suppose that makes LANL and co. gender R&D labs. Explore the frontiers!
