Questions of the Day:
Under the edicts of the current US admin, do I need to change my drivers license to say Female? Am I required to change my pronouns and use the women’s restroom?
Does this edict affect gender or just sex? If it just affects sex, then am I now a trans man?

Question of the Day:
Whether you personally think that Elon’s gesture was a sieg heil or not, many actual n**i’s saw it as such and celebrated it.
So my questions are: Does the intent matter more than the interpretation? And do you feel that it is right to blame it on undiagnosed ASD?
