Description
Oops... So many things in life are gendered: wearing pink or blue, working an office job, exercising, being emotional... No, no, it's not that too many things are gendered, it's that we missed gendering a bunch of stuff! Gender All the Things! is a look at the absurdity of anything being gendered by gendering anything and everything! Gender your lunch, your favorite YouTuber, the bus you rode to work, and even this game using the handy dandy Genderizer 3000! It randomly intelligently assigns a gender to literally everything you see, do, wear, feel, and experience, including itself because we sure can't trust anything without a gender! Made for the Nonbinary Bundle Jam! In case you didn't notice, this is a parody of the ridiculousness of how much in life is gendered, and how we should just live our lives in ways that make us happy and not worry about if people think it's "too masculine" or "too feminine." While I'm giddily happy about being a girl —I still grin so huge anytime someone calls me a girl or refers to me as "she"— I absolutely disagree with what society says is "girly" or "manly." And I felt like the Nonbinary Bundle Jam was the perfect time to express this in a silly little game :D The goal is for you, regardless of your experience with gender, to randomly gender something and go "hey wait, that's wrong" and then realize just how stupid anything we do or wear or decorate with or eat being gendered is. If you're a man, maybe you'll be upset at the idea of your suit being feminine. If you're a woman, maybe you'll argue with your purse being masculine. Who knows what will make it click for you, but I hope it does! 🙌 PS: I still think dudes should try wearing a frilly dress or skirt just once to see how flowy and twirly they are! Wearing one of those is like wearing a trench coat for your legs, but even more reactive!
