every time i seriously ask one of my friends to explain gender to me, they try to use an analogy, and i am more invested in the analogy’s version of gender than the one they are trying to explain
like the other day i jokingly said “my gender is a 1971 buick riviera” and my wife immediately said “no it’s not, it’s a 1967 impala and you know it” and i was like “that’s fair. also if we only chose genders by due south detectives’ cars i’m much more of a gto than a riv”
when people are like “it’s like...how some people are cat people and some people are dog people, even if they have the other one too” and all i got out of that was “i’m cat gender?”
