npub1qqmqxhf8eazr9uwz5dknudzx8c4gyycydzxpcpracfufyuyv9fgq3smzjy (npub1qqm…mzjy) I only have five options for the sex (which is also used to denote 'gender') field:
Female, Male, Unspecified, Indeterminate, Intersex.
I don't see myself as Male, Female or Intersex.
I'm agender non-binary so I have a strong tendency for anything that means 'no' or 'not disclosed' or 'does anyone else think it's weird that I have to fill in this box?' So 'Unspecified' seems to fit this okay. It's more of a social response, thinking about the question in terms of gender.
I had never really thought about 'Indeterminate' before, seeing it as more of a biological marker rather than a social one. But I kinda realised that by taking HRT and "hacking my endochrine system", I no longer fit neatly(ish) into one of the binary sex options. And that's kinda punk?
'Indeterminate' is kinda like saying, "Your categorisation systems can't hold me!"
It's no longer an obvious choice and now I have to actually make a decision in ... about 40 hours.
