You’re so right, a grown man shouldn’t have been in an evening gown — it was clearly a daytime event, so he should have opted for a sundress.

What happens if a precocious puberty patient also happens to be transgender? What the heck are intersex kids supposed to do? Which government official is in charge of confirming a child’s gender and how do we preemptively put that official in hell?
