    Asking this is like when people debate what is and isn’t a sandwich. Everyone knows that a sub and a club are sandwiches right? Bread and filling, straightforward. But it’s a big world with many foods. Is a hot dog a sandwich? A pizza? What about a taco? A falafel wrap? It’s not exactly clear.

    People spend tons of effort trying to come up with simple definitions that conclusively define sandwiches. But these inevitably lead to consequences that just intuitively don’t make sense to people. Now a deep dish pizza is a quiche, pop tart is a toast, a burrito is a calzone until you take a bite at which point it becomes a quiche. Your simple definition is just not useful in the real messy world of bready foods.

    At the end of the day, you have to accept that sandwich is a loose, vague term that cannot accurately categorize all food ever, and mostly it’s whatever people say it is.

    The point is, gender and sex are like sandwiches.

      Sex is like a sandwich, in that they’re both appealing and I’m occasionally ravenous for one of them.

      Gender is just some arbitrary noise to me. I can take it or leave it.

      gender and sex are like sandwiches

      I give you a hamburger. Your gender explodes into a million vaginas on a million dicks on a million vaginas on a million dicks into infinity. The vaginas and dicks sing a note, a perfect E flat, and your genders agree. Your dick and vagina take a bite of the hamburger together. A single tear rolls down the vagina and the dick. I give you a hamburger. Your gender is screaming.
