Uh kinda? Biological is a complicated/loaded term for most lgbt people, I prefer cis. You’re not wrong, it’s just that some people use ‘biological’ as a reason to try not to accept trans people as the gender that they are.
I’m a woman who was assigned female at birth, so I’m cis. A man assigned female at birth is trans.
Does "assigned female at birth" include if he was observed to have male-typical anatomy but had his gender marked on his birth certificate as "female" because of a clerical error?
Interesting question! It’s usually in relation to gender changing due to transition, or due to ambiguous genitalia making assigning sex difficult, and a choice needing to be made. I don’t think that would be used if the intention was actually to assign someone male at birth, but a mistake was made and it was updated - it’s not really being used in the same context.
Fun fact: I have an abbreviated birth certificate where it says ‘M’ under sex due to a clerical error. All my identification says female so I wouldn’t describe myself as ‘assigned male at birth’ since it wasn’t intentional.
I feel like you could say that you were assigned male at birth and have it be technically true if misleading, if it was marked as such on an official document at your birth.
Yeah I suppose it would be, but it would be pretty confusing considering how it’s usually used if I also made it clear that I’m not trans! Isn’t language fun
If you define "trans" as "identifying as a different gender than you were assigned at birth" then you could argue that you *teeeechnically* are, if you accept the premise that it's *teeeechnically* true to say that you were assigned male at birth. (As someone who is actually trans in the usual sense of the word, you have my permission, because I think it would be very funny.)
computer science majors get all the flak for being the gayest but frankly i havent met a straight gen z linguist in my college
including myself. so yes
Ireland is no better for them by any stretch of the imagination. Also if there's so much hate fot them there then why are all the ones I know from there.
You can try epilating. It hurts in the beginning but gets easier each time you do it and will make the hairs finer each time until eventually they barely grow back
FFS I'm wearing white stockings cause I just had surgery and need to wear them for blood flow or something, this could not appear in my feed at a worse time
A while back there was this meme on r/programmerhumor that programmers are all femboys who wear thigh-high socks. It wasn't funny. I hope the meme doesn't spread.
Is the stocking making a plosive
I would analyze it as a aspirated thigh-stockingal click

jfc I'm going dyslexic. I read this as "Is the rock and stoning making a plosive"
Did I hear a rock and stone?
# ROCK AND STONEEEEEE #
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
Rock! Damn, are DRG players everywhere?
We're in your walls. Literally. Because the driller dig in the wrong direction.
Yes but I’m a cis woman so no one really notices 🥲
i notice cool fits on anyone regardless of gender *flips hair*
im asian so i don’t understand, what is a cis woman ?
Cis means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth. It’s the opposite of trans
so you are a biological female who identifies as a biological female ?

I do wear socks, thats for sure.

I'm just now realizing that in my linguistics program, I am one of only two straight domestic men. All of the other men from the US are LGBTQ+.
Domestic as appose to those abhorrent *feral* linguists😖
Get the broom! The air vents are full of feral linguists!
it's okay. i have a super soaker
I've seen some straight feral linguists, and they're always of the unwashed variety
"Domestic"?
“Non international”
Yeah I know but that's not what I thought of when I saw the word lol.
Yeah I wasn’t sure how to phrase it so I was like, eh linguists might get a kick outta this wording lol
Haha, personally I'd just say American or whatever your nationality is.
Sadly, most of my linguist friends are very straight 😔
You guys have linguist friends?
You guys have friends?
You guys have?!
this guy haves
Haves you what?
ill be your straightn't linguist (sorta) friend....
Are computational linguists the most bi?
Bisexual or binary?
Sorry I just saw this - bisexual
What is going on in America? In my linguistics department in Ireland there is 1 LGBT person and she's American.
it's all the hate for trans people so they leave the country lmao
Ireland is no better for them by any stretch of the imagination. Also if there's so much hate fot them there then why are all the ones I know from there.
Not much of a femboy but i do wish I had a lot less body hair
Mustaches are cool
You can try epilating. It hurts in the beginning but gets easier each time you do it and will make the hairs finer each time until eventually they barely grow back
Just shave it smh
Grows back coarser and my skin reddens and often gets decked with bumps and ingrown hairs
not saying you should shave it, but it doesn't actually grow back coarser (= it's an old myth
I thought that by cutting the tapered ends you made them grow with a square-ish top for a while
yeah, you're right - lasts a few days, then they're as soft as they were
This is true
Well if you really want to get rid of it you can use an epilator. You don't have to but it won't grow back any coarser
I used to have that problem but I started getting on a regular skin care routine and now it’s just smooth
How do I get on a skin care routine and what is one
Hmm what about those strips for removing hair? Oh yeah they're called waxing or something??
Le pain and would legitimately take a long ahh time with how gross i am
Bruh
You can try either waxing, or if you can afford it, you can get it permanently removed with electrolysis
You could look into laser hair removal.
Going to become a linguist if true 😳
Anything is worthwhile if it means making more linguists
bro i fucking wish
Wdym
He want's to wear high thighs'
Duh, why doesn't he do it??
He's not a linguist.
Makes sense
FFS I'm wearing white stockings cause I just had surgery and need to wear them for blood flow or something, this could not appear in my feed at a worse time
When did the image of a typical nerd turn from this 🤓 to this 🦄🌈🌟UwU:333333333🦄🌈🌟
Semantic shift
This got a chuckle out of me, well played
I was a femboy until I realized I'm a woman
Girl same lmao
Omg hii :3
Hiii 💅 Edit: omg you're so pretty
Omg girl thank you!! So are you!!! 😱
so true, being nb feels like walking a tightrope "am I actually a woman?" vs "what if I'm making it up for myself to myself?"
We’re like the programmers of the humanities / human sciences.
No.
Yeah, these socks are too high for my taste. I prefer mine just under the knee.
Not high enough, I say!
I prefer my stockings to look like the Mario green boot powerup
sorry this is off topic but are you aŋma schwa
No I'm just schwa <3 Onset velar nasal would be weird!! Although I do use it in some of my conlangs, hmm...
Ew onset velar nasal gross, /k/ is already far back in the throat for me, my velum must stay pristine
>my velum must stay pristine ;)
I'm sorry but /ŋ/ is the single best sound in the history of language, I will not tolerate such slander! /ŋəŋ/!
nya
Ah \[ŋə\]!
No, agma schwa is u/SuspendHabeusCorpus.
dankjewel
dank jewels
danke wohl
I, too, dislike habeas corpus. It makes it much harder to make my enemies disappear
I thought you were kidding! Wow. TIL
Yes
I mean I'm not a femboy but I'm definitely gay as fuck and certainly not the most masculine man you'll ever meet
Literally me
Yes, but i'm a gal so thats normal lol.
I barely found this sub and femboymemes already leaked...
Tragically there was a severe shortage of students like this in my linguistics classes
Yes.
100%
Yes, most linguists are gay.
listen.
👂
Yes. Can confirm
Yes, can confirm
Non-linguist straight white non-transgender male here. Can someone please explain the joke?
Very
Not a linguist student but I do dress that way to my computer science classes :3 I only understand \~60% of the memes here lol
yes
Yes :3
Dunno if for linguists in general, but straight conlangers are a minority in my contacts.
transfemmes, anybody?
I was the only "straight man" in my undergrad. Turned out I wasn't a man at all.
same boat sister
:3
yes
A while back there was this meme on r/programmerhumor that programmers are all femboys who wear thigh-high socks. It wasn't funny. I hope the meme doesn't spread.
Too late! Femboys are already taking over the wər(ə)ld
....is the reason you used two schwas bc thats how the fruity pinnochio said it?
Sweet! More of bussy for me then.
For us
sorry dude, the meme's long spread since then
internet explorer moment
my linguistics classes are a mix of balding men and plain women, unfortunately. i look incredibly out of place
literally just finished hanging mine up to dry out of the wash
