Adamski's Getting Fit this Year

Sure, I was assigned a gender at birth. I also got assigned homework at school but I didn't do that either.

I was assigned a name at birth, but no one insists I keep it.

@Adamski “Was the person who assigned it qualified? Did they ask?” Are always my next questions.
I also point out that when I worked at a title agency, I stumbled upon a woman born (assigned at birth) white yet was assigned Asian/Pacific Islander upon death so like does any of it officially really actually matter?

BTW the reason wasn’t a mix up or error. At the time of her birth there were only 2 races listed black or white. At the time of her death there were 10 listed.

@Adamski it’s almost as if 1)it didn’t actually matter and 2) we understood more and adapted….kind of like now maybe perhaps….

@Adamski the key is to bully a nerd and get them to do your gender for you

@Adamski I honestly have an objection, to the homework part. As a diligent life-long student, doing the homework and learning to navigate society's (often stupid) norms is extremely valuable. That is based on thinking that doing the homework is not generally offensive to our very identity. I understand that I may need to be corrected there.
