Sometimes you can refer to the particular time differently without mentioning specific calendar date or dates. For example: 40 pounds ago...
Referring to the time all sorts of different ways should not be a problem whether it has or hasn’t any idea(s) about genders. You can easily specify the time when 2 genders were the only option and can definitely tell when it’s been happening + on top of that, been testing Audiogon’s automoderation to continue with the subject. All-in-All of that to say, I prefer simpler things over complicated things in general getit @gkelly ??
Your frustration and prejudice isn’t at all with people who say things that have no value at the subject, but rather with yourself either unable to see or getting frustrating before the time you can actually see or understand.
