As a trait that's not really anything like Mom or Dad's business, or something that makes sense for others to caution a bride/groom against?Oh, so interchanging race for gender makes sense for rhetorical arguments?
I think it's quite close.
Possibly.Gender is much more basal to the human experience.
However, I noticed the other day that I have not seen any dicks or pussies among my coworkers in the last 15 years.
And yet, every single day, I refer to them as 'he' or 'she.' They present as a male or female and no one challenges them. I don't know for SURE that Janet isn't really a guy with some or more surgery, but I am pretty sure she's the same race as the guy she introduces as her boyfriend. Although, actually, considering how light-skinned my kids are, that may be a mistaken assumption, too.
