23k sexes that's fascinating, so I looked it up:
They have two sex genes, named A and B, each of these have have an allele (alternate form) called alpha and beta. So combined there are 4 unique spots in the gene to look at. A-alpha, A-beta, B-alpha, and B-beta. Each of these can have variations, with A-beta having 32 and the rest 9. 32 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 23328 unique sexes

So describing your sex would look something like A-alpha-1, A-beta-8, B-alpha-3, B-beta-5.

If you could edit out my sex description from your comment, I’d really appreciate it, thanks.

Are you an aA-beta-8?

I was guessing it was "23k sexes found so far" but this makes sense.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Fascinating, thank you for expanding on this!

Then throw gender into the mix if they had such a concept. Essentially incalculable.

When you write in "Yes" next to sex on forms.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

The polite way is to write "yes, please".

You mean you don't now?

or "once a month"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I think you're confused. It's a form asking about sex, not how often you turn into a werewolf.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

that's a lot of pronouns

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

That's when you go, "fuck it. Everyone's a they. Deal with it."

Fungus TERFs be like, "ThErE aRe OnLy 6561 gEnDeRs"

Real fungus doesn't care about gender, only the WAAAAAAGH

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Do you think they have dicksquigs?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe fungus should consider itself lucky that it doesn't need bathrooms.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Germans would be like "I can't even talk about this fungus without analyzing a DNA sample first".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Honestly, just doing that would not only solve certain issues, it would remove some unnecessary complexity from English. In most (maybe all?) Turkic languages we don't have gendered pronouns, just one for "they" and nothing disastrous has happened yet.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It would take some adjustment, but I'd be all for it.

New life goal, open up a queer bar called "Ballgowns and Fractals".

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Ballgowns and fractals can mate? Can we get a rule 34 in that?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Was curious as to the use of the prefix Schizo in the genus name and found this on a CDC website: 'Schizophyllum is derived from “Schíza” meaning split because of the appearance of radial, centrally split, gill like folds'
