@cwebber I feel like I'm messing up your poll by answering while monogamous and not queer

@ebooksyearn @cwebber There are dozens of us! DOZENS! :neocat_boop_happy:

But this does feel like selection bias is going to be a problem.

@dpflug @ebooksyearn I mean it's meant to have selection bias, I'm curious to know what the kind of people who follow me on fedi are like :)

-andry = male mate (used rarely to to -gamy metonymy)
-amory = mate of unspecified sex
FOSS = Free and Open Source Software
queer = non-heterosexual sexuality, or gender is neither cisgendered male nor cisgendered female

@Mattaob @cwebber Ace spec has further refinements, such as romanticity, that are not mentioned in the polling.

@log @Mattaob Yeah I kept it very broad because, as said, only have four options on here. But "ace spec", just like "queer spec", has a lot of depth to it!

@log @Mattaob @cwebber

All correct here except for -gamy, which comes from Greek gamos (γαμος) meaning marriage. You were probably thinking of -gyny, as in polygyny, contrasted with polyandry, which comes from Greek gyne (γυνη) meaning woman.

(This might be super nerdy but I love Greek and couldn't help myself :ablobcatheartsqueeze: )

@boo_ @Mattaob @cwebber Yes! I stand corrected. I was doing this from memory, which is obviously not infallible.

It's understandable considering humans are sexist pigs, so almost all polygamy is polygyny.

@cy @log @boo_ @Mattaob That's an old sexist assumption. As of 2012, more poly people appeared to be women than men (and several other studies I have seen since) https://www.advocate.com/current-issue/2016/1/08/polyamory-numbers

That's polyamory, not polygamy.

@cwebber Always hard to choose whether I'm "queer" or not when I'm ace spectrum with a heteroromantic lean. >.>

But regardless, into FOSS!

@cwebber it's me, my sex drive was swapped with a drive to program at birth. Good thing I discovered programming at 10, has worked out relatively well. 😅
