    Didn’t they always? “Asshole”, “dirtbag”, “perp”, “fucker” are all gender neutral…

    This type of policy should be approached carefully so that the sensitive BP men don’t start crying.

    Luckily, I’ve never had trouble at the northern border. Actually, sometimes they want to have smalltalk about our queer relationship (we live in different countries) or what a furry is, and I’m sweating as an impatient line is forming behind me, lol. Generally, they’ve either been sweet or indifferent.

    If I wasn’t sure what gender it was, I called it an “it”.

      Oof.

      Only a conservative would soapbox InDiViDuAl FrEeDuMB but simultaneously care so much about what other people call themselves, lmao.

      Like, if someone says their name is John and you dislike the name John, do you rage and refuse to call them that? lol

          Being conservative is a bad thing. It’s an antiquated ideology that shows a lack of adaptation to progress. Quite literally stuck in old ways. What’s next, is the Earth still the center of the universe!? Lmao. These buffoons can’t even accept climate change or comprehend the science behind vaccinations. Too busy worrying about what people wish to identify as.

          The conservative ideology is flatly useless and is incorrect on universally every policy position.

          Gender isn’t biology it’s sociology, sex is biology.

          You can’t change your sex on a scientific level but science don’t give a shit how you refer to yourself or whats under the hood, that’s all society.

              I’ve read plenty, including biology textbooks that explain sex is more than just XX or XY.

              Did you know conservatives are statistically less-educated than the left? I guarantee the average lefty reads more. In fact I bet every other person in this thread is more well-read than you.

                  this comment comes off as something a petulant child would say
