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.

Easy just have a drop-down menu for each value that can change 😎

Stick it into a boolean

sex = true

But we're playing Connect Four!

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Are you an aA-beta-8?

[-] don@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

🤐

And no Omega males

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Fascinating, thank you for expanding on this!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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

[-] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

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

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You mean you don't now?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

or "once a month"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

that's a lot of pronouns

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

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

[-] LennethAegis@fedia.io 16 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Do you think they have dicksquigs?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] superkret@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 3 points 2 months 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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

Putting the fun in fungus...

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

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months 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'
