Modification: even after the initial ritual, people should be allowed to choose a gender as many times and as often as they want.

oh here's an extension of this opinion that usually gets people super mad: if the presence of a cop makes you feel safe, you are probably part of the problem

The police are the most dangerous armed gang in the United States
