Genderfluid Mike Huckabee Test

A rhetorical device or debating tactic used to challenge the argument that “Anyone who identifies as trans is trans/valid.”

It quotes the following 2015 anecdote from Mike Huckabee, a well-known anti-trans public figure:

“I wish someone told me in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE. I’m pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, ‘Coach, I think I’d rather shower with the girls today.’”

The test asks whether or not this teen version of Mike Huckabee is valid as a genderfluid trans teen.

The test forces the opposing side into an ultimatum:

1) Accept the absurd, bad-faith hypothetical as a valid trans identity, validating a transphobic comment by Mike Huckabee.

2) Admit that some standards are necessary for what constitutes a “valid” trans person, in order to exclude trolls like Mike Huckabee, thereby disproving the notion that “anyone who identifies as trans is trans”.

Named in August 2025 by Haley Halcyon (@2gd4.me on Bluesky) after she, quote unquote, “decisively won an Internet debate for the first time” using this strategy. As originally explained:

“Any #transmedicalist who finds someone who parrots the sleepwoking line ‘anyone who identifies as trans is trans’ or ‘all trans people are valid’, my advice is this:
• Apply the Genderfluid Mike Huckabee Test.
• Don’t let off when they try to deflect.
• Point out the gate they implicitly keep.”

Her argument for self-ID, total bodily autonomy, and zero gatekeeping was a crowdpleaser, until I hit her with the Genderfluid Mike Huckabee Test and she ragequit.

Native American Pencil Test

The Native pencil test decreed anyone with curly hair to be non-American Indian due to the straight hair myth enforced by white colonizers and Siberian Native Americans; however, melanated American Indian people with curls were oppressed by use of being deemed Black and misnomered by whites based on the fact that many Natives did not carry the straight hair gene. White people and Hollywood media utilized psychological warfare, only wanting to promote one hair trait, and did so for centuries, causing loss of culture and birthright for many full-blooded American Indians until now. Curly hair does not come from having an admixture of African or White blood; many full and close-to-full-blood melanated American Indians carry the curly hair gene, so for those ignorant folks out there stating otherwise, STOP pulling the “ADMIXTURE CARD” just because your closed and confused minds refuse to see the truth that melanated American Indians have more than one physical trait, which cannot be suppressed any longer by anyone who is biased to it simply due to their hate or misinformation. Truth is truth, so respect it.

The Native American pencil test all started when An american indian child in Robeson County, NC who had the exact same MATERNAL AND PATERNAL parents as their sibling was deemed not to be Native because they had curls and their (sibling) who had the very same mother and father as this child had the opposite, straight hair.

A physical anthropologist was also sent to determine the racial ancestry and degree of “Indian blood” of Robeson’s Indians. Both anthropologists used “scientifically based” means to determine the authenticity of physical features and blood type to ascertain if any of those tested would qualify as having half or more “Indian blood.” An example of the scientific means used to assess “Indianness” was the “pencil test. A pencil was slipped into a subject’s hair. If the pencil stayed after mild to vigorous shaking of the head, the subject’s hair was deemed too tight or “non-Indian.” If the pencil fell, it was understood to have fallen out of real Indian hair. OUT OF 209 LUMBEE INDIVIDUALS TESTED, 22 WERE CATEGORIZED BY SELTZER AS “INDIANS” (SELTZER 1936). In one particular instance of two full siblings, sharing the same parents, one was deemed to be Indian and the other non-Indian (Blu 1980:72).”

Old Man Murray Test

The Old Man Murray test is a somewhat tongue in cheek way of judging how good a video game is. The test is to time how long it takes to spot a wooden crate anywhere in the game. The idea being, the less effort a studio puts into a game’s graphics and area design, the more likely they are to use wooden crates as decorations just to fill up space. Named after its creator, a hilariously sarcastic video game critic who lived in Austin during the 90s named Old Man Murray.

Various games and their scores on the Old Man Murray Test
Pokémon Legends ZA: 2 minutes
Final Fantasy VII: 7 minutes
Minecraft: There are no crates in the entire game
TF2: 5 to 30 seconds, depending which map you play first
Ocarina of Time: 30 minutes

Earthbound: 2 hours
