I'm a boring normal person, quite content with the gender that was obvious at my birth, but I do get it that not everyone is the same way. And I also understand that gender assignment can and should be fluid, because some people do not simply settle into one specific gender. I know this is all complicated, but will be worked out in time.

As a side note, it's not very long ago that some man referring to his husband, or some woman referring to her wife, would have been quite incomprehensible to most people. I love it that now we all (I hope we all) get it.

And on a personal note, several years ago I was in a situation where a man casually referred to his husband, and a couple of hours later a woman referred to her wife, that I finally got it. Yes! If you're married and you're a man you're a husband. If you're married and you're a woman you're a wife. Head smack.

I so love the world we live in.
