The Great Trigonometric Culture War

The math culture wars have officially begun! This meme brilliantly satirizes political discourse by dividing trigonometric functions into "genders" and "mental illnesses." The basic sine, cosine, and tangent are labeled as "genders" (the bare minimum that conservatives might acknowledge), while the hyperbolic, inverse, and more obscure functions are dramatically circled as "mental illnesses" (supposedly what liberals want to normalize). It's essentially the mathematical equivalent of the "there are only 2 genders" argument, but with exponentially more functions! The irony is that all these functions are equally valid and essential in mathematics—just like how diversity exists naturally in human experience. Next time someone complains about "too many genders," just show them the haversine formula and watch their brain short-circuit!
