      Way before intersex/nonbinary/trans people were even culturally accepted to exist in the west, I remember a classmate in early grade school that asked me to guess if they were a girl or a boy.

      They didn’t ever tell me either way but they were pretty all the same.

      That was in the early 80s, right when the HIV/AIDs bigot frenzy was in full swing freedom-and-democracy

      I hope they’ve had a good life and are safe and well.

          I really flummoxed the doctor that gave me my first COVID shot. Came in with an androgynous outfit + mask and gave him my passport which still has my deadname on it. He opened it and even after I confirmed that that was my name he still couldn’t get why it says “male” right under it until I told him that I was trans. Hardest I’ve ever male-failed. Not even my untrained voice clued him in.
