Name Age Sex

Hello! [[Hello. Name please?|Name]]

Oh uh. Charlie Dove. [[Age?|Age]]

I am 18. [[Gender?|Sex]]

Non-Binary. [[I mean your biological sex.|bio]] [[Non- what?| what is that]] [[Oh?|curious]] [[Okay.|done]]

Non-binary, it means that I neither identify as a binary man or woman. [[What does that mean for you specifically then?|specific]] [[I don't know much about that.|curious]] [[Okay.|done]]

You probably don't have too many enbies here, huh? [[What does that mean for you specifically then?|specific]] [[Indeed, you're the first.|first]] [[Yes, but that's fine. I've put you down as NB.|done]]

Well, for me personally, I don't identify as female or male but rather somewhere in neutral territory. [[Well what is your sex then?|bio]] [[I don't really understand how that works.|curious]]

Okay, can I go now? [[Yes, thank you.|End]]

Thank you for playing this prototype. Play again? [[Yes|Start]]

There are a lot of people who are not in the gender binary, but not everyone who is has a word for it or uses that label. [[What is wrong with the binary though?|problem with binary]] [[That sounds a bit strange.|unsure]] [[Well, okay I guess.|done]]

Do you think it's appropriate to ask a stranger about their genitals, chromosomes and hormone levels? Because that's what you're asking about if you ask for "biological sex". [[Woah there, you know what I mean.|know what]] [[Hm, true. Sorry.|apologise]]

The binary is artificial and does not represent a natural state, you know. We just decided "this collection of physical traits is lumped together into this label" and assigned it certain characteristics. If someone doesn't fit the label, they get othered and ostracised. [[It's 2021, not liking stereotypical things doesn't mean you can't still be that gender.|stereotyping]] [[Eh. Fair enough.|done]]

It's a bit unusual maybe if you hear it for the first time. But it's not that complex. I just don't fit into either binary box. [[It's 2021, not liking stereotypical things doesn't mean you can't still be that gender.|stereotyping]] [[Good enough for me.|done]]

No. Biological sex is very complex and there is more there than just female and male. Inter people exist, you know. It's not really as easy as telling someone to slap a label on themselves. [[Well the absolute vast majority of people fall into either female or male.|majority]] [[You're just using inter people here to make an argument.|argument]] [[Well are you inter?|label]] [[I didn't think of that. I'm sorry.|apologise]]

Can't you just write down NB or something and I can go? [[I only supposed to write F or M.|paperwork]] [[Eh. Sure, I can bend the rules a little.|done]]

You can, literally and physically, put down that pen and write the letters N and B and nobody will get hurt. [[I could get in trouble.|job insecurity]] [[The paperwork is important though.|paper important]] [[You know what, I think I will.|done]]

While true, the argument of "the vast majority is X so I don't need to consider the needs of or care about people who are Y" is a historically bad argument. How many people have used that as a tool of discrimination? [[Are you saying I am discriminating you?|discrim]] [[Our world is just built that way.|society]] [[Sorry, that is a bit harsh of me.|apologise]]

I am not just using inter people as a point, I am trying to show that even your perception of sex is not a pre-designed "natural" fact. It's a human made concept. [[You are being incredibly defensive.|defensive]] [[Fine. The paperwork is also human made and it wants an F or an M on it though.|paperwork]] [[I'm just putting down NB if that will make you go away.|done]]

That is none of your business, that only concerns me, my doctor and people who want to get in my pants. [[I'll take that as a no. You're just trying to argue.|argument]] [[Why are you being so defensive?|defensive]]

Yes, actually. That is what I am saying. I am not trying to attack you, but I just want you to think about why you are arguing with a teenager about wether or not you respect their self identification. [[Look, I don't care. I just have to put down F or M here.|paperwork]] [[This is not about respect, this is just how our society works.|society]] [[I'll fill it out with whatever you want if that means you'll go away.|done]]

Societies change constantly. Maybe it's time then for that change. But it isn't happening because people like you have the power to make a little change right now, but you are refusing and arguing. [[Look, the paperwork says I have to either put down F or M.|paperwork]] [[Well, perhaps I can make a little exception today.|done]]

You are asking me intrusive, inappropriate questions, of course I will be defensive. Can you just put down NB please? It's literally just two letters. [[That's not how paperwork works kid.|paperwork]] [[You are making my job harder than it has to be.|paperwork]] [[Well... you know what, okay. Fine.|done]]

Of course, I agree. You can be of any gender and express yourself in any way. But as long as people think along the lines of genders and sexes, I would like to choose how I present my gender. And that is non-binary. [[That's fair and all. But what is your biological sex?|bio]] [[Alright.|done]]

And my mental health and wellbeing are also important. I answered your question, it is up to you how you handle that. And honestly... what's the worst that can happen? You can pretend it was an error or that I was arguing so much you just did it to make me happy. Or whatever to make your boss happy. [[I will just put down whatever I read you as then.|done]] [[Look, the paperwork is important, I can't just mess with it.|paper important]] [[Oh fine.|done]]

If it is important, why has it been designed to be so fragile and limited that one single alternative experience will cause it all to fall apart? Come on. You are more powerful than that. [[Your flattery is charming, but I will just fill it out how I see fit.|done]]
