Ever been unsure of someones gender, even face to face? Isn't it embarrassing?
I have a few friends I gamed with a few days ago and their neighbor came in to drop off a sword. Really, a sword. Long story. Anyway, that neighbor stayed and I could not identify the gender of this individual. I don't mean to be judging or mean about this, but I felt this individual had no gender-specific qualities I could focus on to determine a gender and I would put that out there to ask and I would've felt like a hyper c**t a*****e. So I just said hello, and as the conversation went on, I asked if there was a significant other or a roommate next door. Eventually I was given "yes, my husband lives with me." Alright, gender determined. But wait, then my friend chimed in with "so nice that our landlord is accepting of relationships like yours, I love Oregon!" Oh ********, maybe this person is gay. Crap, now I still can't tell. But I finally had my answer when a kinda punk-ish black man stepped in to say hello. This was the neighbors fiance, and he explained they were trying to conceive and we congratulated them and wished them our best. In that part of town, interracial couples are sorta looked down on. So we were supportive of them and happy the landlord did too. I finally had my answer, this was a woman. But I still felt like a mega a*****e. Still, they were super cool, shared some drinks with us, stayed for some SNES.
Does anyone remember Saturday Night Live from the late 80s to 90s? Remember the "It's Just Pat" skits? It was like that.
Anyway, discuss. Had this random thought while taking a dump.
