I told my spouse once that my gender is "the talking velociraptor who everyone knows is a raptor, but for some reason no one talks about it or acts like its out of the ordinary at all, even while they're all living with the discomfort of knowing they're in a room with a velociraptor." 3/n

"They probably don't know if I know, myself, and are hoping that if they never say anything, I'll just never notice. I did notice, by the way. But since no one seems bothered, I figure it's not a big deal. I don't know why it would be, anyway, so I don't mention it, either. But Jurassic Park is definitely my favorite movie, and I don't know why no one wants to watch it with me. That's my gender." 4/n
