Factory default for me
It's good enough for my typical use-case so I've just stuck with it
Boooooring!
Yeah, me too.
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")
hey neat, I found the cisgender sub-thread! me too.
Same here. As fun as it might be trying out another gender, it’s far too complicated, and I’d rather mess with NixOS
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."
This energy is excellent and the world needs more of it.
LET GUYS BE PRETTY TOO, DAMNIT!
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
The "Work/Government Issued" one make me laugh because I served in the US military, and a handful of years ago, they approved gender reassignment surgery for trans people.
You're allowed to receive one "cosmetic" surgery for free while serving in the US military, and this counted for that. So you could literally be "issued" a new gender by the government, for free.
Trump became president, and while military people were signing up for gender reassignment surgery, he randomly ordered that trans people weren't allowed in the military and had to be kicked out immediately. So a bunch of people who outed themselves to take advantage of the surgery suddenly were at risk of losing their jobs.
Fortunately, the Department of Defense put a hold on those orders and managed to talk Trump out of kicking people out for being trans. But I guarantee, if he becomes president again, he's not going to be talked out of it again.
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.
Uninstalled (it was bloat)
Ah, so that's why so many Linux users are nonbinary.
I myself am running stock options.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as nonbinary, is in fact, UNG/nonbinary, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, UNG plus nonbinary. Nonbinary is not an operating gender unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UNG system made useful by the UNG corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full gender as defined by POSIX.
*UNG -> UNG's Not (a) Gender
I like the idea of pirating my gender. Sounds like I pilfered someone's penis. Which is just an objectively fun sentence to say.
It's factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.
one night i was pondering gender stuff because my internet circle became queer enough that out became common to see chosen genders around and i thought that i didn't want to be a girl, being a guy was fine, but i would like to be a creature.
and now i'm he/they :3
so, uh. software update ig
You wouldn't download a gender
Hey I found this dick fair and square! It fits perfectly. But I'm still looking for a bigger one.
Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
As a diligent worker drone living paycheck to paycheck:
Work/Government Issued
Def just bloat. How am I supposed to carry all these limes while thinking about the metaphysical connotations of gender and society?
Lol uninstalled it was bloat unironically here.
My first exploration of gender fluidity was realizing that on the internet, my bits don't matter and i don’t experience gender, so why do sites keep asking?
why do sites keep asking?
Collecting and selling your data for "marketing"!
Data corruption/re-write. Installed a bunch of psychedelic programs I bought on the black market and restructured my OS from the kernel level. Worth it because shutdown/sleep signals were being ignored as well as CPU buffer trashing issues (resulting in system crashes, hangups, etc.). Works a lot better now, but handshakes are difficult because my non-conforming configuration isn't recognized by the majority of the network. Still very much worth it though as I find complete network access isn't exactly necessary.

Found it on a usb stick in a parking lot
Government issued and it was bloat AND it was proprietary gender. I don't want any gender without access to the source, and the freedom to use, copy, modify, and redistribute (even charging a price) said gender as I wish.
I'm whatever you need me to be to achieve orgasm.
Careful, you might turn into a couch when you least expect it
hmm. I was assigned m but I think I prefer she/her but being female isn't actually something I want to be. Tbh my online friends calling me Toad makes me happier than either gender. So in short my gender is me.
Hi Toad!
I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.
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.
I have a little wheel that I spin every morning
Uninstalled so I could enable expert mode
Uninstalled. Bloatware. The only pronoun this cognitive substrate requires is "it" :3
There’s no option for “found an old glass syringe with some greenish/purple liquid and an odd metallic smell, was drunk and bored so I gave it a go”?
Fine, whatever.
Didn't get one from the factory, never installed my own. Do I need one?
Factory default, I'm boring but a good selection of my long term boyfriends have been bi (I dgaf), so I don't know what that says about me lol. People sometimes assume I'm gay, but I've never questioned my gender or sexuality. Lots of friends across the rainbow though, luv you all. I have gay and trans family so it isn't something that I've ever seen as "not normal."
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
