All my ideas are either racist or giga-NPC

At my work there are 4 categories of avatars:

>using your own photo from our internal HR system (we have photo ID badges and those pics get pulled into the HR system)
This is 100% approved - they're either a normie who doesn't know better or someone who said "my time is too precious to fag around with avatars". You get to see what someone actually looks like and this is useful if you run into them in person.

>Using your own photo that they took themselves
Can veer towards bragging or "look at me in front of this landmark". Signals they spent effort on this, so slightly less approved, and if it's some social media type selfie, even less.

>Using an avatar they made themselves (either through those old manga generators or with AI)
Paradoxically this is more OK, as it signals "I want an avatar but feel uncomfortable using my real photo because I don't want some creep at work to deepfake me sucking nigger cock".

>Using an avatar from anime, a meme, etc
I'm chronically online - I know all of these and I will judge you accordingly. Pepes or 4chan memes = racist or completely ignorant newfag (haven't seen these ones though); anime/manga = at best a weaboo, at worst a pedo; movie character = just use your own goddamn profile pic, no one cares that you like LoTR or whatever - just do your job

There is a fifth category I suppose which I fall into:
>Whatever avatar the automated system assigns to you
I guess it looks like laziness but on the other hand I'm not paid to meticulously select a 2D array of pixels to signal who I am to my coworkers. The automated HR system is there, and if it fucks up (there is not sync to Github for example) well that's too bad, I just won't bother.

For work? Be an adult and use a picture of yourself. It's not like they won't know what you look like anyway.

>Why do you want to be a woman
>So that the gun held up to my head by an external force doesn’t go off
your brain isn’t an external force, externalizing this shit is just saying you don’t understand it, which is the equivalent of saying you don’t have an answer, which likely means that you really do have an answer but it sounds so silly that others wouldn’t accept it or you can’t even accept it yourself. “That doesn’t sound right, I just don’t have the words for it” translates in most cases to “this is my reason but I can’t self identify with this without feeling like a bad person”.
