Gender Informed by Schrodinger
Someone wrote…
I like to think of my gender the same way Schrödinger thought about the cat in his experiment: Until somebody observes it, it’s neither one nor the other.
What’s your experience?

Carefull, though, don’t let anyone observe it or it may be dead.

The physisist in me wants to cry at how badly everyone misinterprets shrodingers cat, but the queer girl in me says that you’re awesome.

I was afraid I’d misconstrued it but I really couldn’t understand it any better than that… I like physics but I don’t have the mind for it. The linguist in me cries about your spelling of Schrödinger though so we’re even? ;)
Thank you for the compliment :)

How about a modification for the physicist: I am simultaneously male and female until be gendered by an observer collapses me into a single state.
