But who gives a fuck anyways, in today's day and age we're more concerned about whether we identify as a male, a female, non-binary, or prefer not to say....just the other day I asked ChatGPT what it identified itself as; male, female, non-binary - it replied Hexadecimal - and I responded back "you operate on ones and zeros therefore that makes you binary you fuckwit"
