#gender gluttony

[shadowy-dumbo-octopus]

A while ago I saw a post that was like "OK we've unlocked gender envy what about the other deadly sins" [a good-natured shitpost made by a member of the community] so I propose:

Gender wrath: "respect my pronouns and identity or I'll make your pronouns be was/were."

Gender greed: "I wanna be a cottagecore witch. And also punk. And also look like the human embodiment of the vaporwave aesthetic. And also be whatever Lil Nas X had going on in his video for MONTERO/Call Me By Your Name, you know?"

Gender envy: "Ooooh damn I wanna be this."

Gender sloth: "Hoodies, blankets, denim jackets, it's whatever man gender is fake anyway."

Gender pride: "GUYS I'VE FINALLY ACHIEVED MY FINAL FORM I LOOK AMAZING AND I'M OFF TO KILL GOD NOW."

Gender lust: "do I want to be this or do I want to smash this?"

Gender gluttony: "My gender identity changes depending on how hungry I am."

The Seven Gender Since

[missroserose]

is there a gender title for

 “I don’t suffer dysmorphia, but I’d probably be equally comfortable with a different configuration of parts”?

Like, I’m not trans—I’ve always felt comfortable as a woman, biologically and socially.  But especially as I’ve gotten older, I’ve occasionally thought that it’d be interesting to experience life as a dude, both in terms of how it’d feel to be physically stronger/more imposing and how people would relate to me differently.  And honestly, I don’t think I would feel any more or less me—though of course I don’t have any way to test that.

I remember reading a Neil Gaiman story some time ago about a medication that had the side effect of changing your biological sex, and how it became a huge thing on the off-label/recreational market because of people who enjoyed taking on an opposite-gender persona on the weekends.  (Sadly, it was written long before non-binary and intersex genders were being talked about, so it didn’t address them.)  I feel like, if I lived in that world, that’d probably be me too.
