I thought we needed more women in STEM jobs so I changed my gender.
I don’t even have a “gender”! I was taught in grade school that there were two and only two SEXES, male and female. I was also taught that the word gender applies only to pronouns. Any usage contrary to those rules brought a sharp reprimand from the teacher. In the day of the movie “Norma Breckenridge” we learned of SEX change operations, men who elected to try to become women were referred to as tranSEXUALS, not transgenders, I’m too damned old to change or to give a damn what new words people want to invent now.
