  Are we interpreting the humor as the absurdity of asking identity questions on a form for no reason OR silly trans, there be only two genders?

  Up / down vote me respectively, I am curious how often these sort of posts appeal to all sides of the spectrum with different groups interpreting he humor.

    Im assuming this isnt a real checklist on any form being used seriously, it smacks of the sort of thing my boomer boss will show me thinking its the funniest thing on earth.

    It’s a bit silly, because this kind of meme can definitely be interpreted as both a bigoted meme and as a sort of “ironic” kinda meme that is quite often posted in LGBT+ circles. It uses a lot of outdated terms like “Transsexual” and “Hermaphrodite”, but then also has the more LGBT+ shitpost stuff like “pet walking on keyboard - Other”. And indeed the absurdity of asking gender everywhere in the first place. I choose to pick the LGBT+ positive interpretation, but idk whether that’s its actual meaning.

    There’s a little bit of absurdity in how people tend to make up new gender and sexuality definitions every day just to feel special. At this point the + in lgbqt+ is likely hundreds of different genders and sexualities at this point. ‘Gender’ is now an identity politics game. If you want to play it that’s fine a new gender or sexuality definition isnt hurting anyone but let’s not pretend its getting a little out of hand at this point.

    I’ve seen it like Michael pushing diversity training sessions onto the office (US) in the first season. Complete misunderstanding and absurd enthusiasm. I bet he would spend a night educating himself about gender and sexuality on the first resources found in google.

    Listen, Dwight. Why would you put a sign saying MALE over your desk?

    I insist on keeping it. We, Schruttes, are born Schruttes first, and everything else is out of our concern.

    But why? Even Jim picked his new gender. Thrice this lunch, actually. Why don’t you play into it to make our space more friendly for gendered people? Just for a day.

    But…

    You’ve heard me. Go take a break, and return with a new gender of your choice!

  Even the joke ones don’t provide a “none of your business” option. Why are web forms so obsessed with gender?

  I just pick one at random, 99.9% of the time these websites have no need to collect this info in the first place.

    It literally says “prefer not to say” at the bottom.

      Which is totally different from “none of your business”

    They are used for demographics that are required by federal law for some business’, for example filling out an application for a loan, they have to collect this information so they can prove they offer services to everyone regardless of race or gender. I realize that this is a joke from but most of the list include Male, Female, Other (with an input field), and prefer not to say. In case you wanted to know.

    I think it was for early demographics data collection. Same with asking about skin color, age, etc.

    (Btw I identify as “household pet walking across the keyboard - other” with pronouns get/down)

  Yet non binary isn’t listed, which I’m guessing is significantly more common than the others.

    You think non binary is more common than An Angel From the Movie Dogma? Really?

    That term wasn’t super well known back 15-20 years ago when this image was made.

    i’m guessing the “none” option covers that

      That would be “agender”. If anything enbies land in the “oThEr” category.
