My partner is genderqueer, and I see their gender as "sparkly" and "rainbow coloured".

My gender is binary, which makes me feel like it's less necessary to describe it. People usually know what female looks like. But I do feel identified with pink. :)

i always thought female was dark blue like the deep oceans. or mediterranean turquoise.
signal red is very masculine the way i see it.
so it's better if you define your own color. what shade of pink are you?

Really? Why? I always associate red with love, passion, blood, violence and communists. *giggle*
I always wanted a lime green trench coat, but my first coat ended up being orange and the second (current) one is red. It's been associated with everything, but not with masculinity. Huh.

ask people who lived a hundred years ago. red is aggressive, domineering, blood-thirsty. there are women who are like that, but if we talk about somewhat old fashioned ideals, then this is definitely more masculine.
also, flanell shirts. that lumberjack uniform...
but when it comes to clothes, the cut seems to be more important than the color.

That makes sense... so that's why everyone says people with red cars are more aggressive drivers, eh? :p

Perfectly mirrored chrome.

Or if you're going to insist on a color-color, then probably black I guess. Or maybe white, because that's technically 'none' of the colors. Idk, either or. :P

If you speak in terms of light, white is all colors and black is none. We can't see colors without light, so that's how i think of them.

I wish i were chameleon colored more often. But i've ended up not thinking too much about gender. I am me, and i try to be at all times. Other people can decide what gender that might be. Today's color is charcoal or somewhere close to that.

Charcoal is fun to draw with. It's nice and messy and smears well. If I could, I'd use charcoal for makeup, but it washes away too quickly. It also burns well!

All in all, good choice for the day. ;)

I don't know what color my gender is.  It might just be transparent.

But my mood varies from a bright, sunny orange-yellow, to nearly black.

I'm not sure about the color of my gender.  I do know one thing though.  Today's society can only see in monochrome so to the world I will likely always just be black or white.  Even to most other transpeople I'm likely only seen in grayscale at best.  I'm not even sure that I can even see more than 4 bit color at my best.  Its sad to think about when really the world is made up of infinite colors just between red and violet.  And who knows maybe there are genders that we just cant even comprehend like colors beyond the visible spectrum going into ultraviolet or infrared.

Sorry if my post sounded depressing.

Discord, are we your prey alone,
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

The color of crows.  People say that's black, and sometimes it looks that way from a distance or from some angles or lighting conditions... and it's basically a right answer.  But to someone paying attention, there's more than just a hint of shifting purples, blues, and greens.

i find crows more charcoal than black. ravens are a nice black color, but my favorite is m->-bleeped-<-ie. they are a very pure white, and a black shimmering with all kinds of colors when looking closer.

i often wish i could see ultraviolet nuances. it seems so sad to be restricted to just a tiny part of the color spectrum.

mhmm...

I'm going to have to go with black, since I'm in a black hole of confusion about my sex and gender.

Or red because of the rage, lust, love and passion associated with the confusion. :)

I love this idea!
I think my gender would be... purple. Like, more on the pinkish side than the blueish side (not because pink=girl/blue=boy; I'm more boyish than girlish and I don't buy that anyway). I can't even explain why. I mean... it's a deep color, and I feel my gender pretty deeply. Also it's apparently associated with creativity, and I think of my gender as something I'm continuously creating. That and it's just a nice color and I like it. :laugh:
