In other species "genderbending" is a deceptive heterosexual mating strategy. It needs to be explored as such amongst LGBTQ+ radicals, who demand access to female spaces.
“... they appear to have three different ‘genders’ ...”
Interesting use of “gender” to denote different “morphs”, though probably somewhat non-standard which is probably the reason for quoting the term.
But probably quite justified, at least to the extent that we might say gender is any set of sexually dimorphic traits, and those sandpiper morphs would certainly seem to qualify as such. Following suit, we might also say that heights in humans is also a gender – at least a trait in a multi-dimensional gender spectrum – since men are, on average, some four inches taller than women. You might have some interest in my elaboration on that theme:
But looking at your bio, I see that your Supervisor is David Schmitt who, if it’s the same fellow, was front and center at the Santa Fe Boys’ “Big Conversation ... on the origins, mechanisms, and meaning of sex/gender differences" last October. Did you perchance attend? I only attended via the Zoom meetings which were still informative.
But I had hoped, many people had hoped -- all being somewhat disappointed -- that it might come to a consensus as to what "sex" and "gender" actually referred to and denoted. The closest they came to that was the closing "Round Table (2) Discussion", Schmitt being a panelist -- which was still somewhat illuminating:
Something of a major problem that there are so many conflicting definitions for both sex and gender.
But curious about your “dysmemics”, a rather uncommon word, and one I hadn’t run across before. About the only illuminating search result is a definition on Tim Tyler’s “On Memetics” which defines it as “the study of bad memes”:
Haha, "sneaky fucker strategy" is not mincing words. In German we have the "Beischlafbettler" which describe the technique of aping feminist positions as "Frauenversteher" the the aim to get sex.

More or less accurate? But no shortage of those I guess
