      I've been going through the same thing for more than a year. At first I thought I was alone, until more and more people started opening up and speaking out. That's why I'm grateful for Kevin and others.
      
      Like Kevin said, do support the educators you value—send them a Thank You, buy their courses 1/2

      More and more people I deeply respect and have learned a lot from over the years feel like they are speaking into a void, to the point where they are losing motivation to continue making content, which got me to write my first post on my site in over a year...

      And if you'd like a legacy codebase mimic of your very own, the sticker is up in my shop.

      The best possible outcome of this is that no one will want to police it, and so all public/shared toilets become ungendered, with a urinal icon on the doors of those facilities that have them installed.
      
      That's only the toilet issue though, this obviously goes wider than that.

      This is properly mad. So, even if you show evidence of your sex, they cant still reject you if they dont think you look enough like your sex.
      
      Cool. Cool. Dont see any issue here.
