okay so is there a multidimensional pythagorean theorem for coming up with a scalar distance between any two genders?

@starkatt if you model gender as ℝn then sure. but have I told you why I think we are morally obligated to model gender as a non-metric space?

@starkatt So, you can always construct a linear mapping from ℝn to ℝ. And if such a mapping *can* be constructed, kyriarchy *will* construct it and use it to reinforce the binary.

Therefore we should model gender using analogies that can't be mapped back to the number line.
