People understand that there are like 50 different shades of green (lime, forest, pine, turquoise, mint, etc) but for some reason the idea of someone being anything other than male or female (genderqueer, agender, genderfreaky, genderfuck, gendermess, genderception, gendertude, sinegender, genderquizz, genderfuzzy, gendersex, etc) is “just asking for attention.”

Does anyone accuse interior designers of asking for attention when they go on about a “mint green” wall?
