This week I am practicing waving at people and saying hello, instead of nodding at people and saying hello, as a form of greeting at work. I am told nodding is a Dude Gesture, which must be a Command & Conquer reference else it’s completely illogical.
What other secretly gendered gestures and shit do I still have after so long? Honestly this whole “gender” thing seems kinda fuckin stupid sometimes.

I wave and nod. Proof that I’m bigender
Woah… if someone does both, now I know…
WHAT no idea this was a thing I nod at everyone.
Why do social conventions have to be so confusing, literally have to study people to interact in “appropriate” ways smh
I fuckin know right, I only found out recently. I just interact “inappropriately” all the dang time, cause fuck em =)
Ladies, is it masculine to rapidly move your head in a vertical range of motion, signifying affirmation and recognition of others?
Clearly
I’ve been trying to force myself to stop the nod and failing. I really need to stop meeting people’s eyes while i’m walking.
Actually I realised today too, one of the reasons I’m such a Nodder is that it’s a good excuse to look away from someone very fast
Whereas if I wave at someone and say hello, uh where do my eyes go shit uhhh
100 percent the reason I do it, gives me a way to smoothly break eye contact

This is true! It should not be, but the intersection of “traditional gender” norms and neurotypical social norms is an evil one!
