    Check these fields on a common job application form. Top row? Fine. The rest? I’m not taking that person seriously.

      Yeah I really try to be inclusive but I’m with you here, that shit is whack. You’re not a fucking bionicle. We’re all trying our best to be nice to you and your new identity, but if you ask me to call you a fairy, I’m going to laugh in your face. I’ll feel bad about it later, probably, but I will do a spit-take in the moment.

        Calling it now: The top three stick and the rest will be laughed about it 20 years, if not 10.
