Could you provide an article or some description expanding on that? I don't know how that is a gender, instead of an occupation/ preference

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Genders can be occupations too. Womanhood spent several thousand years being basically equal to domestic servant. And have you ever heard the line "join the army and become a man"? Among the Bugis people of indonesia, "priest" is a nonbinary gender.

That doesn't explain anything about you, which I asked.

Well, drag is an anarcho-communist, is engaged to marry drag's pet dragon, likes all forms of science fiction and fantasy, is a wizard, prefers power metal over most other genres of music, and thinks Python lends itself too easily to non-OOP designs. Anything more specific you'd like to know?

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, it seems like you identify in a non-binary way and they/them would be an appropriate way to address you.

This isn't saying you should or shouldn't be addressed in a specific way, I'm saying it's not clear what your gender identity is. You've stated an occupation, not a gender. I don't want to get into how I disagree that gender can be an occupation, but you haven't said anything about how an occupation can be a gender.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -4 points 2 weeks ago

They/them, which is a gender neutral pronoun, would be an appropriate way to refer to drag, if there weren't any pronouns that refer specifically to dragon riders. But since there are, they/them is about as appropriate for drag as it is for an average man or woman. Drag thinks you've misunderstood the they/them pronoun. It doesn't refer specifically to nonbinary people, it refers to any group or person lacking specified gender. Drag is not lacking specified gender, drag's gender is very specified.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

You can refer to men or women as they, as you are not specifying a gender with the world "they"

So you are making up grammar rules, this has nothing to do with gender. Bye.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -5 points 2 weeks ago

So you're saying that your reluctance to use drag/dragself pronouns is equal to your reluctance to use she and he pronouns, and you start an argument with anyone who uses a he or a she pronoun too?

Okay, thanks. If you're not treating drag any differently than other people, then drag feels okay. Sorry for assuming that you were singling drag out.
