Since I decided to optimize my pronouns to they/them (only for Bay12; I really don't think my parents and RL friends would accept that at all) to avoid the performance penalty of retrieving my gender, I've been toying around with the idea of disabling my gender entirely and becoming agender. It cuts out the middleman entirely, but then I'll have to emulate being male to people I don't trust. Homophobia and all that. Problem is, I think that would lead to a larger drop in performance, since the emulated gender would have an even longer access time than my current gender system. People use he/him on me too often for me to seriously consider dropping the gender thing entirely.

Yes, I did just say that I want to delete my gender identity all so that I can think even faster. I don't give a damn about gender expression, so I would still present as nominally masculine just because that's what I'm used to. I've removed most traces of gender in dealing with others (but I maintain a list of gender roles for compatibility), so I feel like it's about time I consider taking it a step further.

I don't think that's how my brain works. I don't really think about my gender unless it is needed for example despite knowing 100% I am female.

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?

Do you actually need to crank out faster brain performance for anything or are you just annoyed to waste thought on something you don't identify with?

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

The closest thing Bay12 has to a flamewar is an argument over philosophy that slowly transitioned to an argument about quantum mechanics.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.
