Non-binary

There are also only two different animals: elephants and non-elephants.

Technically the existance of non-binaries also makes the binaries no longer binaries (due to increased optionality), so it would be fair to say everyone is non-binary

What up my hexadecimals

There are only 2 numbers

• 0/1
• all the other numbers

Feel like there's a Set Theory issue with this but I barely understand what little I can remember about it.

Whatever, just wash your hands.

The two genders: Binary and Non-binary.

What if I’m naan binary (preferably garlic)?

If there already exists "a binary" then that says there are 2 states. "Non-binary" only means there are not-two-states. This could be unary (there is one kind of thing), trinary (there are now 3 things, the old 2 and new, secret 3rd thing), or really any n-ary set of n distinctly numbered things, so long as there aren't only exactly 2 of them.

"If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice"

Ok then, noninteger.

Nono you misunderstand. It's not "non-binary".

I'm calling myself enby, which is short for ein bisschen gay.

Reminds me of the: everything is either a duck or not a duck

Genders in the Dutch language: common and neuter

One day aliens are going to meet us and wonder what happened in our evolution that made us biased towards seeing every noun in groups of two, except for rules of nouns which are in groups of three.

Math.round(gender);

"Troll logic" is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn't.

That'd effectively be a nested binary system

I always think there is a we vs them vibe in the non-binary thing which is kind of toxic

My pronouns are infinite/recursion

Male, Female, and a Secret Third Thing

actually, technically it would be a trinary system, if we're looking at it like a spectrum, and if we're looking at it like a spectrum, i think it's funnier to conceive of it like a circle. Or to get the point across, like those political alignment charts.

We all live in a state of quantum flux.

When I see that kind of argument, I think of tri-state logic gates.

Those gates can be in 3 states High, Low, and Hi-Z.

If we look at non-binary people from that angle they must be in the Hi-Z state.

Pretty basic math and semantic error here by excluding the original reason “binary” meant 2 types.

Fuck Aristotel

binary: {0,1}, non-binary: [0,1]

it's like you're damned if you do, damned if you do.

Try trinary.

anything's a binary tree if you're brave enough

My pronounces are infinite/recursion

At its simplest definition, this creates a ternary.

.

My binary system doesn’t enforce gender roles so everyone fits within it

It's always hilarious and frustrating when people who don't understand a topic try to disprove it. This is the same energy as flat earthers pointing to the horizon and going "See!?!" or anti-vaxxers pointing out people who still get sick.

Anyone who thinks this logic is compelling should actually crack a book. I'd recommend Judith butlers gender trouble, but this sort of meme is peak dunning kruger. Literally too ignorant of a topic to actually argue against it.

I literally had my account on Reddit banned for saying that non-binary is discriminatory to hermaphrodites.

Only if you're autistic.

The entire universe - binary

Small fraction of humanity - weetards
