Ah, as someone who doesn't hide differences do you walk into the office like...

"Hey Nigerian Dan, did you get the memo from Polish John about half-irish half-welsh Sarah's presentation later today?"

In no way am I trying to erase people's identities, I just want to highlight that language places an immense emphasis on gender that erases non-binary people and cements it psychologically as an important trait for social interaction.

People are fucking complex, there's no reason to constantly bucket them into groups by gender identity.
