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)
In Sweden there’s a restaurant franchise called Pinchos that only takes orders through a mobile app. When you register for an account you are asked to choose gender between “Male”, “Female”, “Other” and “Whatever 🖕” (i.e. the middle-finger emoji). I picked the last one.
As a man with moobs, I finally feel represented.
I’m going to hell for laughing at the bad circumcision option
Shouldn’t because it happened in real life. Look up David Reimer.
Happened (not quite to that extent) but to a friend of mine. He is still male with penis, but erections cause him discomfort to pain and he is unable use his penis for sex. Deeply affected his psyche and relationships.
I looked it up, his life story is terrible but informative and hopefully discouraging many people doing the same to their children/patients.
I read that as “children / parents” and was about to search for this amazing revenge story, but then I read the post again and now I’m disappointed.
Male, but cries at movies.
Male, but cries at YouTube reaction videos when the singing is very good and the reactor agrees.
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.
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!
Next scene: a table sign saying GENDER-CONFORMING AMAB DWIGHT KURT SCHRUTE
It a little bit better as a satiric sketch than it is as a boomer humor. Especially, if Michael gets ridiculed for this senselessness in the end, like it happens every time.
