The Gender Bender Offender Gets NonBinary in Oregon

Nonbinary is said to be a legally-recognized gender in Oregon now and who knows if that's true but the premise is nonbinary means you don't identify with any gender.  It's kind of like describing the planet Earth as terraqueous, it's made up of earth and water, and, hey, thanks for the helpful advisory on that.  Earth is made up of earth and water.  Well, we're sure that knowledge changes your day.

We're equally sure the idea of nonbinary will do nothing whatsoever for your day since this may well have identified the most inconsequential minority group on the planet since it's comprised of four, erm, animate things in an Oregon coffee shop and that's it.

(Ed:  white things?)

How did you guess.


The Gender Bender Offender gets a raging case of Who Gives a Rat's Ass about such things when there are three thousand nukes in the world, the Interstates are perpetual traffic jams, and what a hell of a thing Starbucks did to drinking a cup of coffee.  Now it's not coffee unless it's sweet like Tinkerbell and is delivered to the sound of angelic, oh so contemporary, music.


We need a word for aggressively trivial and aggtriv just doesn't ring a Shakespearean church bell for us.  Let's see ... Latin for aggressively is ... infensi ... and Latin for trivial is ... trivialis, what do you know.  So our word for aggressively trivial, based on the actual Latin roots which is standard etymology for English, infensitrivialis.

Wow, infensitrivialis, the act of being aggressively trivial.

(Ed:  it's not Vonnegut!)

Yah but I looked beautiful in the water too.

(Ed:  not anymore!)

Well, in fairness, he (cough) doesn't look that good in the water anymore either.


Infensitrivialis is when you talk of feminism with someone who, without a hint of remorse, chucks drone bombs at foreign lands.  We fail to see what gender matters in such a context so, wtf, make it a nonbinary and call it a day.
