    Gender is expressed as an N dimensional vector in the tangent space at a point on a larger N dimensional pseudo-Riemannian gender manifold.

    Travelling on a path through this manifold can act to rotate your gender identity once you arrive at a new point so be careful where you step, some paths are known to crack eggs.

    Mapping the manifold onto a 2D socially constructed gender Cartesian plane introduces singular points and so is considered a dangerous and largely useless construction.

      I’m just being silly, but the translation here is something like:

      We all understand gender in our own unique way, based on a shared understanding of some broader concept

      Changing our understanding and relationship to gender as a concept is possible, and may lead to you realising your own gender was something other than what you’d previously assumed.

      The gender binary is ass.
