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.

Hmm. The first non-binary person from the US to enter Iran will be the last....

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.
