Reply to comment by Hattix in TIL that on top of the 3 matters of state that we’re all familiar with (solid, liquid, gas), there are at least 24 more, though most only exist under extreme conditions by gianthooverpig

Yeah, some of those, you have to ask, what are we calling a state of matter now? Superconductivity? It's a physical property. That's like saying hot and cold are states of matter. This is giving me "there are 27 different genders" vibes.

I mean, not to beat the gender horse, but there’s definitely more than two. I’m just exhausted of all the made up shit so people feel special about their own particular label. Clown self? Wolf person? Fuck right off.

Agreed, after awhile it’s like, what are we even talking about anymore?

It’s the outrage that kills me. How am I supposed to guess you identify with clowns? If you truly identify with some obscure label, foster understanding, but don’t post cringe videos on TikTok about how people are purposefully mislabeling.

But also like yeah man, when my professor told me there are as many genders as there are people, he didn’t mean this. He meant people have different ideas of masculinity and femininity, on a spectrum, not that people would suddenly decide they identify their gender with the random fucking non-human things.

I identify as a human, not a baseball. I am male, but I think cars and sports are gay.

I’m also completely stoned right now.
