Describing Gender

My thesis: You can’t describe anyone else’s gender. And that’s okay.

Screenshot of a YouTube comment by @DapSchaf. Randomly picking the entry bruisegender from the list revealed something to me. It is much more helpful to interpret these categories as an artform. Like a short poem of a single word. This interpretation includes the common interpretation this is a form of communication to find likeminded people, but also reveals at least to me the uselessnes to discuss the details about the word. Then it doesn't matter anymore if anyone ever felt bruisegender or is bruisegender because it is meant to evoke a feeling that you can feel just in response to the word/definition.

well i feel like this is a bit rash. you can surely describe some genders.
