gollark: It may also be worth investigating high energy gender physics as apparently this is vaguely quantumly similar to small distance scale gender physics.

gollark: Their gender is determined by a periodic or just weirdly varying function.

gollark: However, we may need new theories of "quantum gender physics" for small scales.

gollark: Obviously people can change gender substantially over larger timescales.

gollark: Yes, but by how much? Are people making extremely small gender shifts constantly? Do genders change every time electrons move in the brain (by essentially zero amount?)?!!!!?
