Today's Gender of the Day is: tuned percussion instrument #genderoftheday
All #genderoftheday entries are somewhere between 30% and 95% serious.
In all seriousness though, if a transphobe can read a Gender of the Day post and think I'm on their team, is this... really a good thing for me to be doing?
It's an easy joke to misread without context.
@starkatt things I've been silently thinking about for a while now
@Oneironott What do you think?
@starkatt i think it's a good way of ruining the joke for those who would use it negatively, if indeed it sticks like that. From their side it reminds me of ugly "attack helicopter" jokes, but the response comes across to me like a positive "so what there are countless ways to be"
@starkatt but i see where lack of context yields problems. Similarly, perhaps, with the "ahh the # genders jokes"
