the way spaces end up getting casually gendered is so weird. i normally try to get to my classes a bit early so i can choose where to sit and it's fascinating to watch how ppl will gravitate towards a certain spot depending on the gender of the ppl sitting nearby. by the time the lecture starts the classroom almost always has a visible distinction between the 'guys' section and the 'girls' section. and it happens individually too even when there's not a huge friend group clustering around the same place.

#just something I've always kinda been aware of but was never able to fully put into words until now #i never really look at ppl so it's been interesting actually observing the way people choose their seats #i normally check out the room beforehand or arrive early to figure out where the best spot to sit would be #and i always sit there bc it's the best spot in the classroom (based on my priorities anyway)#and i didn't rlly know how other ppl chose which spot to sit in and i didn't rlly care either bc i had my own perfect lil system #but now you're telling me they just do it based off of GENDER?????#like. guys will sit near other guys and girls will sit near other girls and idk if they're even doing it on purpose or if it's subconscious #just. this is something that has never occured to me to even think about when choosing which seat to sit in #so this has been a mind boggling revelation #at least now i know why everywhere i go ppl always seem to congregate based on gender #and it's like. nobody's enforcing this?? nobody is telling you you Have to sit near ppl of the same gender they just do it by themselves #and it becomes very obvious when you randomly pick a seat and end up being the only person whose gender does not match everyone else nearby #idk. if this was what ppl used to categorize gender then i guess mine would just be Autism #but anyway i would love to hear from other ppl abt this bc i never even realized this was a thing ppl actively did until like super recently #like ik im nonbinary but cmonnnnnn #gender #trans #nonbinary #mine
