@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"

@ElectricKeet I think it's important to keep in mind that the target audience and the total audience can be different, though. A post being read in a way other than what was intended doesn't mean I'm absolved from consequences of that reading.

@starkatt @ElectricKeet No, but you're also not obligated to own every reading of your text, either. There's a pretty big gap between "it's easy to read that into this" and "you had to bring a ton of your own context with you to get that interpretation."

@literorrery @ElectricKeet Sure. But for the Genderoftheday posts, it *is* pretty easy to arrive at an unintended reading from outside of the intended audience/context.

@starkatt @ElectricKeet Maybe so. At the same time, it's hard for me to not think somebody who makes that reading is doing so deliberately. That may be because I'm an insider looking at it. All I can really suggest is asking cis and straight allies what they think.
