Yes, the Genderbread Person changes with the times. And boy, do the times change quickly. Genderbread Person creator Sam Killerman, who calls himself “the Social Justice Comedian” (if that’s not the Absolute Paradox, I don’t know what is), explains the evolution of the Genderbread Person thus:

Labels have always been one of the toughest parts of of the genderbread person, because in my versions I’m trying to simultaneously reinforce folks current understandings (or former, or problematic) of gender, while expanding and building upon their understanding, enhancing it, and making it a more honest depiction of the ways we all actually experience gender. Using the language that reinforces problematic and limiting understandings of gender as a means to expand understanding feels a lot like using the master’s tools to deconstruct the master’s house, and in this version I’m trying to get away from as much language as possible.

Where would we be without Social Justice Comedians?
