Could work if your character is non-binary. They'd be a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of superposition.

Maybe have the same story happening in two identical parallel universes where the only difference is the main character's gender. This character can talk to their counterpart in the other universe and influence their decisions. It would be sad when the wavefunction collapses and only one of the two remains.

Ah this is so wholesome.

Mom is clearly a yuri fan.

the word schrodinger caught my eye and this is amazing i love the art style

the mom is so cute wtf

With all due respect, non-binary is not a boy or a girl at any given time, they are outside the male/female gender binary.

The person you’re quoting said, “They'd be a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of superposition..”

Superposition meaning “the action of placing one thing on or above another, especially so that they coincide.”

They might even be talking about quantum superposition whose page on Wikipedia mentions the Schrödinger equation.

I think this indicates the person you’re quoting understands that non-binary doesn’t fall on the male/female binary.

Hmm looks like this is Ono Rin's debut work, Very cute no, SERIOUSLY SO VERY CUTE ! ^_^

The artist just started a series on Yuri Hime actually. It's called Watashi Datte Seishun Shitai Desu yo, Hontou wa. No translation yet.

Oh, I’ve seen that on Dex, it looks really cute! :)

based mom

So uhh about having giant freaking cat suits just laying around the house?

FYI, in my own house there are eight (edit: NINE) onesies: three unicorns, three penguins, one monkey and one owl (and one sheep I forgot about). And that doesn't even start covering the cat or mouse partial costumes nor the mermaid tails (plural). Nothing weird about that, not at all.

Lucky you, Yushima. You finally found a kitty you can play with!

Mom is a real one. But I know if my mom came in dressed as and acting as a cat, I'd die of embarrassment.

this one remember me of a doujin where a girl dress up as a bunny... but like a full ass bunny fursuit
need to find this again

Omg ive read that too.... the search begins

See, if this AI stuff was any good it could find this kind of thing for you. But from what I hear it would just make something up.

Yeah, except non-binary isn't being genderfluid (except for Dynasty tagging purposes, I guess). It's a "neither" not an "either". Ergo, there is no "superposition" between masculinity and feminity, the same way that the colour fuxia isn't anywhere on the black/white gradient.

I think the term you're looking for is agender. I would know, I'm agender.

Non-binary is an umbrella term for anyone that doesn't identify exclusively as belonging in one of those two genders. Genderfluid people are non-binary too.

The Wikipedia page on non-binary is actually pretty good, so check that out.

And yes, I was talking about quantum superposition, which is that really bizarre phenomenon of the quantum realm where an object (say, a cat) can be in two states (say, dead and alive) at the same time simultaneously. The cat is not dead or alive until you open the box. It's both, simultaneously. Opening the box either collapses those two realities into one (Copenhagen interpretation) or expands them to encompass you as well (many worlds interpretation) or something else that we don't know yet.

So a person being a boy and a girl at the same time in a state of quantum superposition is a non-binary joke.

Also, quantum stuff is weird

^ Quantum stuff is nondeterministic and changes based on the observer, non-binary is constantly non-male and non-female no matter the observer (or if there is an observer or not). I don't think quantum stuff is a good analogy for non-binary as a gender.

An objective reality and quantum physics are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
It's entirely possible for there to be an objective "truth" that we can't perceive because us perceiving it changes it, but it's still nevertheless objectively true.

It's also debatable whether being non-binary means actually being neither male nor female or if it's still simply being "male and female" in different ratios but rejecting the conventional associations of the terms.

What is "female"? What is "male"? Having a penis? Brain chemistry? What specific brain chemistry is "male" and where does it begin and end? Is it a preference? An inclination? An emotion? An emotion only motivated by something specific but not if motivated by something else?

Who's to say that the things we equate to being "male" is actually "being male" and not just arbitrary or illusionary?
After all, it's not like people who are non-binary are biologically alien compared to other humans, they just don't identify with the binary gender terms we've historically developed but they're the same species and DNA as the rest of us.

The hypothetical scenario posed earlier, that of a person who's male in one dimension, female in one dimension and non-binary in our dimension where the other two are superimposed over one another; is actually only flawed in the sense that it treats being "male" and "female" as the two end points of the spectrum and equates being "non-binary" to existing somewhere in-between or on top of.

To be more accurate, the two "points" that exist in different universes that overlap to become non-binary would need to be the literal and proverbial end points of human gender definition, which we simply don't have any terms or definitions readily available for. (That's assuming the human gender definition only has- or could be broken into- 2 points and isn't more of a wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey... thing.)

"Male" and "female" are simply too subjective and ever-changing terms to reliably call the end points, should they exist.

If I were to define the premise suggested above with the Schroedinger's gender plot, I'd do as follows:
The protagonist is someone who can see one reality in one eye and another reality in the other; in one reality people are one gender and in the other they are the other. When she looks at someone with both her eyes, she sees "her" reality, the "superimposed" one where people are whatever they identify as. (Don't know how to phrase that better.)

Then she meets a person who's non-binary and discovers that they only exist in the superimposed reality and not in either of the component realities at all, and she can only see them with both her eyes and not if she closes one.

Que plot stuff, few dozen chapters of UST, a beach episode, kiss at the fireworks festival, the end.

It wasn't an analogy. It was a joke.

There are no good real world analogies for quantum mechanics, the whole thing is super bizarre.

Also, it's less about "observers" and more about information. Take the double slit experiment. If information about which slit the photon went through exists in nature, even if not read by any conscious observers, the photon will behave as a particle. If such information doesn't exist, it will behave as a wave (until it hits the screen and is detected as a particle, in other words, it will create an interference pattern). Notably, if the information is collected and subsequently destroyed, it will still behave as a wave. More notably, even if you shoot photons at the device one at a time, if no information exists about which slit it went through, it will behave as a wave, acting as if it's interfering with the past and future other photons.

Can you find a real world analogy to that madness?

Oh, it seems my silly idea started an argument of sorts. I'm extremely sorry!

I didn't mean to start an argument, I just wanted to share an idea.

I... wasn't arguing, really. I don't think the others were, either. I like talking with people about this stuff, it's fun.

Theres something here about being a girl only when you aren’t observed - crossdressing in secret. Something to do with doubt, like they’re not sure if they actually want to be seen like this or if its a fetish or if its important at all, until they are observed and the wavefunction collapses. Maybe scientist girl trying to study our pov character trans girl?

I did thinks this would be a trans story but the cat costume was pretty cute!

Agreed that it'd really only work with a non-binary character, and even then it'd probably land more as "funny" than "clever". For a binary trans person, using Schrödinger’s Cat as a metaphor (especially the pop interpretation of being in a superposition until "observed") can veer into uncomfortable territory. It risks implying that identity is defined by how others see you, which is... not great.

That said, I think the metaphor could work in a story centered on transition itself - if it's handled with care. The key would be making sure that the "observation" that collapses the wavefunction comes from the character's own self-recognition, not from anyone else looking at them.

Pretty sure it's this one (it's not nearly as innocent though :P):

SPOT ON!
and yea, it's from Comaku so i wouldn't expect anything other than "not nearly as innocent"
