I’m testing different software as I’m not fully aware of what my requirements are. All of it behaves differently, and comes with different perks so I’m trying to see if the non factory software is for me.
It’s factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.
Work or government issued.
I hate my gender, hate my body. Wish I could flip a switch and be anything else but I’m too afraid of the stigma to transition.
But I recognize that society, the government, doctors, my family, see me as a boy. So I use he/him.
In my mind its they/he. Some sort of demiboy or non binary, idk. I don’t want gender. I feel trapped.
Mine came from a floppy disk that I can’t read anymore.
You just go booting up random genderware like that?
You’ll get Stuxnetted.
Factory default for me
It’s good enough for my typical use-case so I’ve just stuck with it
Too much work to learn how a new system works inside and out, but I can focus on interoperability
If you run HRT you can choose to keep the same hardware and interoperability and also have the benefit of a free and open choice of gender. It will require a little research to get started, but there is great documentation on the lgbtqia wiki (mtf btw)*.
*(not actually mtf, just referencing “arch btw”)
Transitioning is the linux equivalent for gender
Boooooring!
Yeah, me too.
Same here. I like wearing skirts and being pretty but I’m a cis guy. Due to my exploration of gender expression my friends are occasionally like “Are you sure you’re cis?” And I’m just like “Yep, still a man unfortunately. I’d straight up be something else if I could but nope. Still a dude.”
NGL it’s nice to be pretty sometimes just as it’s nice to look handsome sometimes
Still a dude here as well
This energy is excellent and the world needs more of it.
LET GUYS BE PRETTY TOO, DAMNIT!
Normalize men wearing skirts.
Scotland forever intensifies
Same here. As fun as it might be trying out another gender, it’s far too complicated, and I’d rather mess with NixOS
hey neat, I found the cisgender sub-thread! me too.
Yarr!
Me and some friends used to all share one but then the fucking DRM kicked in and I had to get my own.
what
They said

I’ve enloudened it
Oh thanks! Hearing aids are too expensive these days
probably something healthcare (US) related
As a diligent worker drone living paycheck to paycheck:
Work/Government Issued
Factory default.
Malware
My pronouns are Worm/Win32/Stuxnet🏴☠️﹏𓊝﹏🏴☠️
so I actually googled pirating a gender and it lead me to this https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/
the government is just letting you download a human, for free.
Wha… wow you learn something every day.
You wouldn’t download a human.
Def just bloat. How am I supposed to carry all these limes while thinking about the metaphysical connotations of gender and society?
You carry these limes on a Limewire, duh
I got confused by the different options that are all badly documented, so I uninstalled it and found out that the default wasn’t working anyways. I’m now adding new aliases for ease of use and increased compatibility.
It is possible that I have some weird gender somewhere it probably shouldn’t be but debugging it is a bit of a hassle. Hopefully when I’m done everything will be quicker.
I didn’t write my own, but I did clone the git repo, and then compiled it myself.
Beta testing a system update. Lots of improvements here. This beta has been open for quite a while, and it seems to be catching on. It’s already more or less stable. I expect mass adoption with somewhat regional distribution at the 1.0 release. Of course you’ll have the stragglers insisting the out-dated version was better. In comparison I find it clunky, restrictive, and demanding. Our processing power has increased in orders of magnitude; why we’d want to keep using an archaic way of doing things like this is a head scratcher.
