this was so much better than expected and it feels wrong for such a good article not to have any contentless praise comments sloshing away underneath it so here's mine

I’ve got a lot of problems with Biden, but I think he literally handled this line of questions in the best way possible.

I would like to register a complaint. The way I was raised, it was girls who went to Jupiter to get more stupider, not boys. Boys, instead, went to Mars (to get more candy bars). I'm certain this is an innocent typo on your part that will be swiftly rectified.

Thank you for validating my gender as Woman But Quirky and enabling me to ignore accusations of non-binarism based on things like a.) shag haircut and b.) still being on tumblr

Like "Dude," "Guy" is context-specific, IMO.

This was hilarious especially the “they will immediately point them out” line

Much like girl is a different gender than woman, mother is also a different gender, complete with its own drives and thrills and haters.

Maiden/Mother/Crone is a decent model of the three hormonal phases - one could call them genders - of adult human females.

Congratulations on your impending gender transition. I have found it very satisfying.

Screen shots from the L-word would be helpful

Okay but my mom said when she visited Brooklyn last week, she saw at least 23 different genders in two blocks.

Very relevant here, especially the screenshotted FB post two-thirds of the way through:

Great analysis. I would like to add "daddy" to the list, though.
