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”)
Transitioning is the linux equivalent for gender
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!
Normalize men wearing skirts.
Scotland forever intensifies
NGL it’s nice to be pretty sometimes just as it’s nice to look handsome sometimes
Still a dude here as well
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.
Military issued boobs is a hilarious sentence, wonder if they come in camo
Breast augmentation is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries in the military. I actually knew someone who had hers reduced in size because they were too big and interfering with her life. Plus, wearing heavy flak vests with armor plating is painful if you have boobs, and next-to-impossible if they’re massive.
I also had another coworker who got implants because she said her flat chest was affecting her mental health, self-image, and confidence. Now she’s one of the more confident and outgoing people I know in the military.
The most common surgery, actually, was LASIK/PRK eye surgery. For most of my career, it was considered a cosmetic surgery. The military defined “cosmetic surgery” as any unnecessary surgery a member elected to have done. You didn’t need to fix your eyesight, because the military would issue you glasses. So it was cosmetic.
However, in the last handful of years I was in, someone successfully argued that getting your eyes corrected would improve your effectiveness at work, and thus was a benefit to the military, not just the member. Plus, they started allowing people to become pilots if they had the PRK surgery. (You need perfect vision to be a pilot, and eye surgery used to ban you from the job.) So eye surgery is no longer a cosmetic surgery.
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.
No, you misunderstand how pirating works.
You find yourself someone with a working set of genitalia that may or may not have been slightly tampered with, you click and in an unspecified amount of time you have those genitalia working on your system (may require some fiddling with the settings).
After all this you can redistribute your genitalia to whoever requests this for as long as you are willing to provide them, or even stop your own distribution without losing acces to operate it and fiddle with it at will.
so it’s dick cloning 👍
not per the poor person whose peen was pilfered
It’s factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.
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.
I replaced my old proprietary gender with a free and open source one
This is kind of blursed
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?
You carry these limes on a Limewire, duh
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 :3so, uh. software update ig
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.
(╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞
my non-conforming configuration isn’t recognized by the majority of the network
This could be a case of nodes running outdated software, the current standard protocols can handle any unknown configuration just fine. These are a source of a lot of holes and vulnerabilities that can pose a serious risk, they should be updated as soon as possible. If you have to keep outdated systems in your network e.g. running on legacy hardware, or make the ocasional connection, you’ll have to monitor them and isolate them from your critical infrastructure, at least with a good firewall and a strict configuration when possible.
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.
You can have mine, I’m uninstalling (it’s bloat)
Does it come with balls? It would be so cool to have 4!

Immediately reminded me of King Missile.
What about 3D printing one?
May work well for show, but remember that fdm prints are never food safe.
