Just in time for Christmas

State Department of the United States of America just issued its first Gender "X" passport for those US citizen "humans" who are neither male or female. Apparently this is a "right" that the US government had previously not honored.

Every time I see someone claim they are non-binary, I think of an old joke I had on my desk at McDonnell-Douglas:
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

Their claims lend this a whole new meaning, but they are just as funny as the original joke.

And even you and I aren't simply just "male" any longer. We're now "cisgendered." And to think I got through more than a few decades without knowing the word "cisgender" existed. Even without "cisgender" or "pangender" or any other such, having ten types of people doesn't give us enough non-binary descriptive options in the 21st century. I think the LGBTQ+ moniker actually expands in the popular vernacular to LGBTTTQQIAA. :headscratch

Let's see... I think that would be equivalent to 01001100 01000111 01000010 01010100 01010100 01010100 01010001 01010001 01001001 01000001 01000001.

Love your sign. Took me a sec or two.

It’s been suggested that since People are changing the definition of men and women, other words such as non birthing, be used.

I am terrible at this sorta discussion, but when I was in High School Decades ago there was Male, Female, and freaks, I'm kinda lost on all the other categories.

I was confused when AOC used the term "non-menstruating person" Are these males, transgender women, or females with Amenorrhea?

If anyone can answer, please share.
