How to gender in the twenty-first century: a helpful five-step guide

1. Do you have gonads? Gonads need a lot of room. Show that you have a gender by giving your gonads all the space they need. If they are between your legs or in that general vicinity, try keeping your knees as far apart as possible, particularly if you are in a warm and crowded environment such as a subway train. Better yet, have your knees surgically removed. Then you can keep one knee in Croydon and the other knee in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, giving your gonads the space they truly need to breathe without being limited by the length of your femurs. If your gonads are more shy, retiring types, give them the respect and space they deserve by encasing your body in a giant inflatable ball. This will also allow you to roll to work.
2. Do you have emotions? Media science shows us that you need to decide between being an emotion-haver or not. Why not try giving up all feelings, including happiness, pride and mild irritation? You could even donate them to your friends who are emotion-havers. If you are an emotion-haver, you need to be having an emotion at all times or you may be asked to give your card back. Servants can be hired at very little cost to provoke anger, disgust or the forehead-slapping emotion at times when you may be in danger of entering feelings-neutrality. Alternatively, there are helpful sites available on the interwebs which fulfil this important function.
3. Wear clothes with pockets. Better still, wear clothes with pockets that have other pockets inside the pockets that they have. You may even to be able to manage a triple pocket layering density by keeping clothes that have pockets inside other pockets inside your most voluminous pockets. This can be useful if you ever grow a large number of supplementary hands and need somewhere to put them.
4. You may wish to wait for a Prince to arrive. I am sorry to announce that you are probably reading this in 2016 or later and the primary incarnation of Prince is dead. If you are still intent on waiting, you may wish to enter hibernation until 2130 when the first of the Prince clone army will be ready. Princes are very important for gender-havers because they promote healthy confusion.
5. Hide your chin by growing a beard. Anyone can do this. If you find it difficult to grow a beard directly on your chin, why not grow one in a pot? Many varieties are available, including Cypressus Leylandii and Buxus Sempervirens. These modern beards are solar-powered and can be worn in a discreet neck sling. Flaunt your gender with your beard by affixing a sign to it which states your gender in big letters.
