Fun fact: The word "gun" comes from the name of a large ballista at Windsor Castle named "Domina Gunilda", or Lady Gunild. Gunild was a women's name, so a reasonable translation would have been Big Bertha or something.

So a "handgun" is basically a "handbertha".

(Note that "they shouldn't be asking about gender" and "just have a free text form and/or file upload field" are not gonna fly in this case; this is someone trying to do due diligence on diversity stuff.)

Someone at work is soliciting feedback on a demographic questionnaire that asks about gender identity. Question for the fediverse!

*How much should I push for them to not include "transwoman" etc. in the gender question, and move trans/cis to a separate question?*

(E.g. gender identity = [man / woman / non-binary] and is your gender the same as the one you were assigned at birth = [yes / no], where both have "decline" and "fill in the blank" as well.)

Any well-written article I can send in a professional context to support this suggestion?

There's a wall in Seattle that is famously covered in used chewing gum.

To try and help raise relief funds for Seattle restaurant workers, someone has set up gumwall.co/ allowing folk to donate to remove virtual gum from a virtual wall for a dollar per piece removed.

I support this.

However, that's not why I bring it to the 'verse's attention.

Nope, I think you'll be more interested in their typographical choices.

Holy cow. Remember the Dakota Access Pipeline? So many lifetimes ago? Which got AOC on the path to the House? The Standing Rock tribe just won a major victory; the Army Corps of Engineers was wrong to go forward without considering their concerns, court says.
