It makes sense, if we're only talking about midbinary genders. But as someone with a lot of abinary genders, no, I wouldn't be able to use this scale to quantify most of my genders.
They all would end up with 0,0,0, which in no way quantifies the differences in quality and intensity between them.
It's people like you who give the trans community beauty and complexity. How dare you!
I'm no masochist, but I love hearing about how ill-conceived this scale is. I love seeing how nuanced and personal the subject of gender is.
The best ways for me to learn are through mistakes (this post) and conversations with others with viewpoints different from mine (most comments in this post). So, thank you for sharing your perspective. ๐
