      Well, there is a statistical association between being born with a penis and being physically strong, although obviously it doesn’t apply to everyone. The power tool things is just a total invention of society though.

        My peen make it easier for me to build muscle mass! Which I don’t take advantage of so instead I am just hairy everywhere except the part of my head that would look fashionable with hair. Can I just trade those things for being good at power tools instead?

        Right, much like how astrologists will tell you there’s an association between being born under [astrological sign] and having [personality trait]. It doesn’t apply to everyone

        So, this is I have a dumb joke and need to explain far too much for it to be funny, but don’t think that would stop me:

        In German, we do this thing where nouns for jobs have gender, so a male teacher is a “Lehrer” and a female teacher is a “Lehrerin”.

        Now, if you want to refer to any teacher independent of gender, traditionally you used the male form.
        This was found to bias people to more readily employ men, worsening gender inequality. So, we started writing things as “Lehrer/in” to show that both genders are meant.

        Then several more genders got released, so to show that non-binaries are also included, we came up with the Gendersternchen™: Lehrer*in

        It’s the cousin of Rumpelstilzchen “gender asterisk” and very popular with the conservatives, I can assure you.

        Anyways, the dumb joke is that therefore ******* is the gender that’s so fluid, they had to just make it a bunch of Gendersternchen. 🙃
