Kelda wondered if the stranger had seen me comment elsewhere. I told her I didn't usually comment politically unless saying things like vaccines are good, which should not be a partisan comment in the first place. (Hardcore Trump-supporting Republicans are going to kill themselves off and be outnumbered by Democrats.)

I heard a radio show that said gender is on a continuum, it is not black and white. There are more gender fluid people than redheads, they said.

It's hard to say with something nobody even knew existed 20 years ago and now seems common to the point of being fashionable.
Front-Ranger:
We all knew it existed. We just didn't talk about it. Remember The Crying Game and Boys Don't Cry?
