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

Anything unrelated to elephants is irrelephant.

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

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

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 37 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Does the gender of all non-self-containing genders contain itself? This is the fundamental question of gender theory.

The two genders: Binary and Non-binary.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

There are non-binary people who still believe genders can suit others, and even be played with as forms of role play ...and there are also examples of null states, such as nullos and asexuals...

...so non-binary doesn't necessarily make a new binary if they still believe gender is fine for others, or as a role play.

A better way to think about it might be as a gender spectrum or quadratic continuum of varied characteristics and overlapping body forms and sexual preferences/behaviour.

...queer.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago (5 children)

“Non-binary” only means there are not-two-states.

The state of having two states and the state of not-having-two-states is itself a two-state solution.

Unfortunately, once you rule out non-binary as a third state, you collapse back into the original binary state. Thus, non-binary exists as a quantum superposition between states, as we fluctuate between whether or not being non-binary is politically correct.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago (4 children)

But can a two-state solution really work?

I want to upvote the OP for presenting an interesting discussion but downvote them for being wrong. This presents a case for a non-binary voting option.

A singular like button would still only express one portion of my sentiment. A third option could be many things, none are sufficient: a none or 0 or neutral option is effectively not voting, a sideways arrow or maybe state, or mixed state would express indecision or indeterminism rather than mixed feelings.

Therefore, I propose that a second positive-negative axis is required. The addition of these "sideways" arrows allow expressing 2 kinds of sentiment: towards the post content, and towards the poster themselves. I will not specify whether left or right is positive nor will i clarify which axis (x or y) corresponds to which kind of sentiment. I'm sure this undefined behavior will cause no problems.

Here is your composite vote in the new system: ↖️

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

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

You'd think so, and yet...

Platypussoe ruin SO many assumptions, such as

  • mammals don't lay eggs
  • mammals aren't venomous
  • mammals don't have beaks/bills
  • beavers can't interbreed with ducks
  • a deity created the world and deities don't get drunk

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.

"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.

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

[–] bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You can argue that about any label of any kind but we have to live in reality, which means people are going to sort themselves and others. “We know who we are by who we are not.“ I just don’t see that stopping.

We also have to acknowledge inequality. It’s like “black owned businesses.” Yeah in an equal society we would all just say “businesses” but we don’t live in one so we need to highlight a group of business owners that are inherently at a disadvantage.

[–] Talaraine@fedia.io 15 points 5 months ago (12 children)

That's so sad to me. From my POV being non-binary isn't aggressive. It's just that there are more important things to worry about than gender.
