Cate Owen @cateowen.bsky.social · 13/06/2026All this is to say I have a handful of things that would make this government say I am a biological woman, but how much do you have to be "woman" to be considered one, given that sex is not binary but closer to binomial. Its a spectrum of sorts. The whole thing is ridiculous. 1120
Cate Owen @cateowen.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I am a cis woman because when I was a baby, a healthcare worker examined my genitals and they looked like a girl. Have I had chromosomes tested? No. Do I know my testosterone levels? No. Do I know if I have internal testes? No. (Although none have been found in scans so I figure I'd probably know.) 1160

Cate Owen @cateowen.bsky.social · 19/05/2025My red flag is that every time I'm at a mall that's playing K'Lee's music I literally record it and sent to it her, and now I'm telling all of you so you know I'm cool because I personally know New Zealand's 90s teen idol pop star.

I went to buy a coffee, saw a "we do not discriminate based on vaccine status" and I loudly said to my companion "ew, they're anti-vax, I'm not eating here" and we left. Gross. 7583
