I’m not great at math but like

Demi = half

Bi = two

2 x 1/2 = uni

And forgive me, this was technically a “changing the sheets” thought.

    You’re multiplying two numbers while ignoring the unit. Think of it like a vector instead = (2, 0.5). The two numbers represent two different axes, so multiplying them together doesn’t really mean anything.

    Regardless, initially I still enjoyed the clever joke. 😄Unfortunately, I ruined the fun by thinking about it way too hard. ☹️

        In this geometry, all you need are positive numbers. Complex numbers won’t be required since you can always add another dimension to cover your needs.

        Have you considered other models than flat plane? Like geometrically hyperbolic gender? Maybe quantum sexuality where it’s a wave until you collapse the function by measuring it?

          That model could explain how gender fluidity works. Your gender is usually in a superposition until you wake up in the morning and feel it out. It’s not a persistent state, though, since it can flip back to superposition any time.

      I look forward to your upcoming paper modeling human sexuality as an n-dimensional vector in the conceptual gender space

        I’m calling it the gender and sexuality space, and it’s mostly based on the ideas presented in the gender unicorn infographic. It instructs you to evaluate yourself on 12 different axes, which means you could view this matter as a 12D space in which every individual inhabits a single point.

        Some of the axes are just labeled “other”, which doesn’t feel rigorous enough, but let’s just go with the 12D space for the time being. If you were to collect enough data, some interesting 12D shapes could emerge. Maybe there are overlapping “cloud” shapes in the population, who knows.

          Yes but how do we model the complex interaction between furries and monster fuckers in this 12D space? I think we’re gonna need more dimensions.

          (on a more serious note the gender unicorn is cute and fun and I love it)

            Hmm. Furryness could be another dimension…
